AS Colour ASC Palette Knife | 1515

Description

The AS Colour Palette Knife 1515 is a utility piece designed for brands that need a reliable midweight blank with creative flexibility. Cotton construction gives it the hand-feel and print absorption that synthetic blends can’t match, while the cut stays true to AS Colour’s contemporary Australian silhouette — not boxy, not slim, just clean.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections. Screen printers who want a blank that earns repeat business. Music venues and record labels doing limited merch drops. Creative agencies outfitting teams. Nonprofit organizations running donor appreciation programs. Art collectives and gallery shops. Brands that understand their customers will actually wear the shirt, not just receive it.

Decoration

Cotton face takes screen print ink with excellent absorption and color vibrancy — plastisol and water-based both work clean. DTG prints sharp with proper pretreatment. The midweight fabric provides enough structure for embroidery without puckering on standard-density designs. If you’re running high-stitch-count chest logos, use appropriate backing. The garment-dyed potential here is strong if you’re doing custom colorways for a branded program.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 1515?
Screen printing is the natural fit — the cotton takes ink beautifully and holds color through repeated washes. DTG works well for complex artwork or photo prints. Embroidery is solid for logos under 8,000 stitches without heavy stabilization.

Is this good for merch drops and limited releases?
Yes. The fabric weight and construction quality mean customers actually wear it repeatedly. That’s the difference between merch that builds brand loyalty and merch that ends up in a donation bin.

How does the sizing run?
True to AS Colour’s contemporary fit — slightly more tailored than American legacy blanks, but not fashion-slim. If your customers are used to Gildan or Hanes, consider sizing up. If they know AS Colour, order true to size.

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.
