Independent Trading Co. SS4500Z Unisex Midweight Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt – Wholesale Full-Zip Hoodie for Screen Printing, Embroidery, Team Uniforms, and Bulk Decorator Programs

The Independent Trading Co. SS4500Z is a midweight full-zip hooded sweatshirt built for screen printers, embroidery shops, corporate uniform buyers, athletic program coordinators, and promotional apparel distributors who need a versatile, decorator-ready full-zip blank with the same proven 8.5oz fleece construction as the bestselling SS4500 pullover hoodie. Constructed from 8.5 oz 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend fleece with 100% cotton face yarn at 20 singles, the SS4500Z delivers exceptional softness, durability, and print compatibility across all major decoration methods in a full-zip silhouette that provides the layering versatility and easy on/off functionality that team uniform, corporate, and athletic program buyers prefer. Made in a WRAP-certified facility, the SS4500Z features a jersey-lined hood, #5 metal kissing zipper, metal eyelets, and 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband — pairing naturally with the SS4600QZ quarter-zip and the SS3000 crewneck to build a complete coordinated 8.5oz wholesale fleece program.

Full-zip hoodies occupy a critical position in the wholesale blank apparel market — more versatile than pullover styles for layering over uniforms and base layers, easier to put on and take off for athletic and outdoor programs, and professional enough for corporate casual environments and team uniform programs. The SS4500Z's classic fit, jersey-lined hood, and extensive color palette deliver the construction quality and functional details that bulk wholesale full-zip hoodie decoration programs require for long-term wear in active school, athletic, and corporate environments. Joe's USA ships from a 10-warehouse nationwide network, ensuring fast delivery and reliable stock availability for rush orders and ongoing reorder programs alongside the IND4000 heavyweight hoodie for complete wholesale fleece programs.

Fabric and Construction Overview

The SS4500Z shares the same proven 8.5oz fleece platform as the SS4500 pullover hoodie — 80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester blend fleece with 100% cotton face yarn at 20 singles — delivering the natural softness and breathability of cotton against the skin while the polyester interior provides shape retention, durability, and resistance to shrinkage across repeated washing and decoration processes. The ring-spun yarn construction produces a smoother, more consistent fleece surface than standard open-end cotton, creating an ideal print and embroidery canvas for bulk wholesale full-zip hoodie decoration programs requiring consistent quality across large production runs. The jersey-lined hood provides a soft, comfortable feel against the face and neck, while the #5 metal kissing zipper delivers smooth, reliable operation and a premium aesthetic.

Split-stitched double-needle sewing on all seams provides superior durability and professional finishing that withstands repeated washing and heavy wear in team uniform, workwear, and promotional apparel applications. Twill neck tape reinforces the shoulder seams and prevents stretching, while metal eyelets provide durable hardware that resists corrosion. The 1x1 ribbing at cuffs and waistband ensures a secure, comfortable fit that maintains its shape through extended use and multiple wash cycles. The full-zip construction provides layering versatility that the SS4500 pullover cannot offer — making the SS4500Z the preferred choice for athletic programs, outdoor crews, and corporate uniform accounts that need easy on/off functionality and layering flexibility. For programs needing a heavier-weight companion, the IND4000 10oz heavyweight hoodie pairs naturally with the SS4500Z for tiered wholesale fleece programs.

The tear-away label removes cleanly without residue, enabling screen printers, embroidery shops, and retail brands to apply custom neck labels, woven labels, or inside collar prints for private label programs and retail resale. The WRAP certification confirms socially conscious manufacturing practices meeting rigorous standards for workplace safety, fair labor, and environmental responsibility — a key differentiator for institutional buyers and corporate programs sourcing wholesale Independent Trading Co. fleece apparel with ethical supply chain requirements. The extended size range from XS through 5XL ensures inclusive sizing for diverse team, school, and corporate programs without requiring separate style numbers.

Decoration Compatibility and Print Performance

The SS4500Z's 100% cotton face yarn provides an excellent surface for all major decoration methods including screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, direct-to-film (DTF) transfers, and heat transfer vinyl (HTV). Screen printers working with plastisol or water-based inks will find the smooth cotton face delivers excellent ink adhesion, vibrant color reproduction, and superior wash durability — making the SS4500Z one of the most reliable wholesale blank full-zip hoodies for bulk screen printing programs in the Independent Trading Co. lineup. The full-zip construction provides both front chest panel and back print areas for decoration, while the sleeves accommodate standard sleeve print and embroidery placements.

For embroidery applications, the 8.5oz midweight fleece provides a stable foundation that supports dense stitch counts and complex logo designs without puckering or distortion. The classic fit and structured construction accommodate left chest, full back, and sleeve embroidery placements commonly used in corporate apparel, team uniforms, and promotional wear programs. Embroidery shops sourcing the SS4500Z alongside the SS4600QZ quarter-zip for corporate embroidery programs will find consistent 8.5oz fleece quality and decoration performance across both styles, simplifying production workflow and reducing setup time for multi-garment accounts.

DTG and DTF printing perform exceptionally well on the SS4500Z due to the 100% cotton face, which provides optimal ink absorption and color vibrancy for full-color designs and photographic images. Heat transfer vinyl adheres securely and maintains excellent wash durability when applied with proper settings. The tear-away label simplifies the rebranding process for decorators adding custom neck labels or inside collar prints. For complete team and school programs, pair the SS4500Z with the IND5000P Legend 13.5oz premium hoodie and the SS3000 crewneck to offer a complete tiered wholesale fleece program covering full-zip, crewneck, and premium heavyweight categories.

Wholesale and Program Buying Advantages

The Independent Trading Co. SS4500Z is a cornerstone wholesale blank full-zip hoodie for screen printers, embroidery shops, uniform programs, and retail brands that require consistent quality, reliable inventory availability, and exceptional value across bulk orders and reorder programs. The full-zip construction adds layering versatility that makes the SS4500Z a preferred choice for athletic programs, outdoor crews, and corporate uniform accounts that need easy on/off functionality alongside the decoration performance and construction quality of the proven 8.5oz SS4500 fleece platform. The extended size range from XS through 5XL ensures inclusive sizing for diverse programs without requiring separate style numbers — a key operational advantage for bulk Independent Trading Co. wholesale apparel buyers managing large SKU counts.

For corporate uniform programs, the SS4500Z's full-zip construction and professional aesthetic make it a preferred choice for workplace environments where easy on/off functionality and layering flexibility are required.
