AS Colour Kids Relax Hood | 3036

Description

The AS Colour Kids Relax Hood is the youth version of the blank that’s become a staple for custom programs — same 320GSM CVC fleece construction, same relaxed fit, sized for kids. The cotton-poly blend with recycled content gives you a smooth print surface and the kind of durability that matters when the garment is going home with an eight-year-old. Double-needle stitching at stress points means it survives the wash-wear-repeat cycle that defines youth apparel.

Who Orders It

Elementary and middle school spirit wear programs choose this for its balance of quality and price point. Summer camps and youth sports organizations use it for team gear that actually gets worn after the season ends. Children’s apparel brands building out their decorated basics line appreciate the relaxed cut that doesn’t fight with active kids. Dance studios, youth choirs, and after-school programs order it when they need a hoodie that looks intentional, not like a promo throwaway.

Decoration

The CVC fleece surface takes screen printing cleanly — the polyester content helps ink cure evenly while the cotton gives you color vibrancy. DTG works well on lighter colorways with standard pretreatment. For embroidery, the 320GSM weight handles designs up to 8,000 stitches without distortion, though you’ll want proper backing on larger chest logos. The relaxed fit means left-chest placement sits naturally without pulling.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 3036?
Screen printing is the most common choice — the CVC surface holds ink well and the weight prevents bleed-through. DTG and embroidery both work cleanly with standard preparation.

Is this good for school fundraiser hoodies?
Yes. The 320GSM weight feels substantial enough that parents see value, and the preshrunk fabric means sizing stays consistent. It’s a step up from the typical fundraiser blank without breaking the budget.

How does the sizing run?
Relaxed fit runs slightly roomier than slim youth cuts. Most programs find kids wear their standard size comfortably with room for layering underneath.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
