Rabbit Skins is the blank almost every printed baby bodysuit in the United States starts as, and there is a reason it stayed the standard. Soft combed ringspun cotton, a lap shoulder neckline that goes over a baby's head without a fight, and a three snap closure that actually holds. Available blank by the piece or printed with your design.
What we stock
- Short sleeve bodysuits in newborn, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
- Long sleeve bodysuits in the same sizing
- White, natural, pastels and core colors
Why the construction matters
The lap shoulder is the detail parents notice. It lets the neckline stretch wide enough to pull the garment down over the shoulders rather than over the face. The snaps sit on a reinforced panel so they do not tear out of the fabric after twenty changes, which is where cheaper blanks fail first. Combed ringspun cotton has the short fibers removed before spinning, which is why it feels smoother than standard carded cotton and does not pill after a dozen washes.
Printing on them
Keep the design five to six inches wide, less on newborn and 6 month sizes. Place it high on the chest, above where the body starts curving toward the snaps, and use lower press pressure since infant cotton is thin. Never press over the snaps. DTF works better than vinyl here, because the print needs to stay soft against skin and flex as the fabric stretches.
Sizing honestly
Infant sizing is by age and babies do not follow it. Newborn fits roughly 5 to 8 pounds and gets outgrown in weeks. If you are buying a gift and do not know the baby, buy 6 months. It is the size people wish they had received.
