Rabbit Skins Infant Baby Rib Bodysuit | 4400

Description

The Rabbit Skins 4400 has been the default infant bodysuit for custom baby apparel programs for years. The baby rib construction — a fine 1×1 rib knit — gives it stretch and recovery that standard jersey lacks, which matters when you’re dressing a squirming infant. Lap shoulders make it easy to pull over the head, and the reinforced three-snap closure at the diaper line holds up through countless changes. Available in 47 colors, this is the blank that custom baby brands, hospitals, daycares, and event organizers reach for when they need decorated infant apparel.

Who Orders It

Hospital gift shops and birth centers for branded welcome onesies. Daycares and early childhood programs for staff-decorated keepsakes. Baby apparel brands building custom lines. Gender reveal party planners. Nonprofit organizations running baby-focused fundraisers. Youth sports programs for infant sibling gear. Schools and universities for alumni baby merch. Breweries and restaurants for branded baby apparel as customer gifts.

Decoration

The baby rib fabric accepts screen printing cleanly — the ribbed texture is subtle enough that ink lays flat without distortion. For best results, use soft-hand inks and keep design placement centered on the chest panel. Embroidery works but requires stabilizer backing and lighter stitch counts to avoid puckering on the stretch fabric — we typically recommend designs under 5,000 stitches. Heat transfer vinyl is another option for smaller runs. The lap shoulder seams mean chest placement is preferred over shoulder-area designs.
