Our eye-catching kiwi design features a bold, two-colour roundel illustration on the front showcasing the most famous New Zealand native bird on a crew neck, mid-weight (185gsm) kids’ t-shirt. A playful mini kiwi icon graces the back for a touch of whimsy. This design pairs best with white, pastels, lights, and brights for maximum contrast. Can be customised with the large art printed on the back and the mini kiwi badge on the front left chest at no extra charge.

Washing Instructions for DTF Printed Apparel (Direct-to-Film and Direct-to-Garment)
I use the latest direct-to-film (DTF) printing technology to offer high-quality prints that will maintain great colour and vibrancy over time. My New Zealand store and global store use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Both methods use high quality inks that won’t fade over time if cared for properly.

Keep in mind that the original t-shirt manufacturer’s care instructions don’t take into consideration the DTF or DTG printing process, but the following the care instructions will take care of your printed garments properly.
Both DTF and DTG printed apparel can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle using your washer’s recommended amount of detergent. You shouldn’t use any fabric softeners.
Though best avoided, it can be tumble-dried inside-out on a low temperature cycle, however line drying inside out is preferred for the print to last longer. When it comes to ironing, use a cool iron inside-out. Don’t iron the print.
Follow these instructions carefully to take care of the print, and to avoid the shrinking of the garment that can occur if you wash or dry it on a high setting.
