What changes between the constructions?
| Decision | Pullover | Zip-up |
|---|---|---|
| Front | Closed body with neck opening | Front opening with zipper |
| Artwork | Consider a continuous chest placement | Consider split artwork or one-side placement |
| Details | Neck opening, hood attachment and pocket | Zipper specification, alignment and pocket balance |
What should you specify for a zip-up?
Describe the zipper length, material, colour, puller and whether you need one-way or two-way operation. Check opening and closing, the top and bottom finishes and the way the front hangs. If artwork crosses the zipper, specify how its two sides should align when closed.
What needs checking on a pullover?
Check whether the neck opening is comfortable, how the hood rests and where the pocket meets the body. A large chest print should be reviewed against the actual pocket and seam positions. Specify drawcord and hood details where applicable rather than treating them as defaults.
How do you compare the two for an order?
A zipper adds a trim and changes assembly requirements, but total cost still depends on the full design and quantity. Blesstop confirms MOQ, sample cost and bulk options after reviewing the chosen construction.
- Use equivalent fabric and fit specifications when requesting comparison quotes.
- Provide front and back artwork at actual placement sizes.
- Confirm trims, pocket design and intended size range.
- Check both construction and finish in the sample.
These guides explain choices to discuss. Catalogue photos are visual references; final materials, measurements, MOQ, prices and schedules are confirmed in your brief, sample and quotation.
