WASP LOGO APPLICATION   All Wasp manufactured garments display either of our two Registered Trade Mark logos shown above.   We do not supply garments without our trade mark logo unless undertaking commissions for already branded suppliers and manufacturers.

• School Kit where minimal or no branding is preferred, we apply our logo below the back neckline in the same colour as the background fabric keeping its presence as low key as possible ~ so we're there, but not there.
• Tops - In most instances we apply our logo to the front of the tops, but if the addition of our logo conflicts with the print application making the garment appearance too cluttered, we will happily apply it to the back neckline - we are, we think, unique with this consideration!
• Bottoms - For Ladies Lycra Shorts, Hot Pants and Running Briefs, we have traditionally placed our 'Insect' logo on the left or right cheek. However, if you would like it located elsewhere, just let us know on your Order Form.  For Mens and Boys Shorts and Tights, we usually locate our 'text' logo at the side or front of the garment.  Again, if you have any particular preference, just let us know.

LYCRA®:  is the registered trademark of Dupont plc. and is the preferred brand for all WASP stretch Lycra kit.  This quality fabric is a knitted monofilament of blended composition comprising 80% Nylon Polyamide and 20% Dupont Lycra.   All colours are tested in water, acid perspiration, alkaline perspiration, seawater, chlorinated water and washed at 40°C using ISO standard tests.   Fabric weight is 185 gms per square metre.

MICROPORE: The fabric is 100% Polyester multifilament of a knitted construction. The inner surface is solid to absorb perspiration, the outer surface is completely perforated to allow fast, wicking evaporation. This finish is ideal for screenprint application as the ink ‘keys’ into the outer perforations avoiding any harsh scratchy finish next to the skin.  

Fabric weights:   Featherweight - 110 gms per square metre      Standardweight – 140 gms per square metre.

SCREENPRINT INK: ‘Plastisol’ flexible inks are used throughout our garment ranges. However, the level of ink flexibility does not match that of our stretchy Lycra® fabric.  Cracking will occur if the ink application is overstretched or where it has been subjected to abrasion during wear or washing.  Please read our 'Garment Care' section to minimise this.

GARMENT CARE

We manufacture our garments to the highest standard using the best possible materials available which results in real value for money over the extended lifetime of the garments.  All our garments carry the appropriate sew-in information labels advising fabric content and general recommended washing instructions for the fabric. To ensure you enjoy your Wasp clothing for as long as possible we offer the following ‘after care’ recommendations:

• TURN YOUR GARMENT INSIDE OUT - This provides protection against washing abrasion to any screenprinted ink application and logo. 
• HANDWASH using a 'gentle wash' product like Woolite, Stergene, Dreft etc. in warm tepid water.  Cold rinse thoroughly, short spin or drip dry away from direct sunlight. 
• MACHINE WASH - Wash only with similar fabrics on a 'Delicate' or 'Wool' programme using a 'gentle wash' product as recommended for Handwash.  Allow to dry away from direct sunlight.
• DO NOT use detergent products that contain bleach or optical whitener as they may cause fabric to fade or discolour and affect print application.
• DO NOT iron.
• DO NOT SOAK or leave bundled when wet.
• AVOID direct contact with body sprays etc. as they may also cause colours to bleed or fade.
• DO NOT overstretch print application as this will crack and weaken ink.
• ALWAYS use sharp, straight pins to attach numbers.  Pins with bent points will create holes and unsightly snags.
