Rabbit Skins

Rabbit Skins is LAT Apparel's infant and toddler brand, and the de facto standard for decorated babywear in the US trade. If a shop prints baby bodysuits commercially, odds are it's printing Rabbit Skins.

The styles that matter

The 4400 Infant Baby Rib Bodysuit is the category benchmark: 5.0 oz How dense a knit fabric is, measured in oz/yd². Typical ranges: under 4.5 oz is lightweight fashion; 4.5–5.5 oz is the midweight band most everyday tees fall into; 5.5–6 oz is heavy everyday and fleece; 6 oz and up is the heavyweight tier, with 7 oz and up the streetwear max-weight class. Heavier fabric drapes more substantially, holds prints flatter, and costs more per blank. , 100% combed A step after carding where short fibers are combed out. Combed yarn is smoother, stronger, and pills less than straight-carded yarn. ring-spun cotton in a 1x1 baby rib, with lap shoulders, a three-snap closure, flatlock seams, and double-needle ribbed binding. CVC colors run 60/40 and heathers 90/10.

The 3321 Toddler Fine Jersey Tee ( 4.5 oz How dense a knit fabric is, measured in oz/yd². Typical ranges: under 4.5 oz is lightweight fashion; 4.5–5.5 oz is the midweight band most everyday tees fall into; 5.5–6 oz is heavy everyday and fleece; 6 oz and up is the heavyweight tier, with 7 oz and up the streetwear max-weight class.

Fabric, compliance & decoration behavior

Baby rib is stretchier than jersey, so print with a slight underbase A first layer of (usually white) ink printed under the design on dark garments. It stops the dark fabric from showing through and keeps colors bright. of caution: keep designs sized for the small platen The flat board a garment is stretched over during printing. In screen printing it holds the shirt in place; in DTG it positions the shirt under the print head. , avoid heavy ink deposits that crack with stretch, and use children's-apparel-safe (CPSIA-compliant, phthalate-free) inks. DTF and waterbase Screen-printing ink where the carrier is water rather than PVC. It soaks into the fabric fibers instead of sitting on top, so the print feels like the shirt itself. Less opaque on dark garments than plastisol. both behave well on the combed ring-spun face.

Compliance is built in: a CPSIA tracking label is sewn into the side seam, and the EasyTear label makes relabeling quick. Both are real time-savers for sellers of children's goods, who are legally on the hook for labeling.

When to choose Rabbit Skins

Use Rabbit Skins for any baby or toddler order: new-baby gifts, hospital and daycare programs, Etsy-style personalization lines, and family sets alongside LAT adult pieces. Construction details parents check (lap shoulders, snap quality, flat seams) are already handled, so the blank never undercuts the decoration.
