Product Overview
The Larkwood LW82T Plain and Contrast Bib is a meticulously designed infant accessory that combines practical functionality with a high-quality finish. Engineered for the demanding environments of childcare or as high-end promotional merchandise, this bib is constructed from a premium cotton interlock fabric. The double-layer design ensures superior performance, providing a soft touch against the skin while maintaining enough substance to handle daily use. Its reversible, print-friendly nature makes it a versatile choice for businesses looking to showcase their brand on a reliable, well-manufactured garment.
Key Features
- Double-layer interlock construction: This provides enhanced absorbency and a more substantial feel, ensuring the bib remains effective and holds its shape throughout the day.
- Binding detail: The reinforced edges prevent fraying and provide a clean, professional finish that stands up to frequent laundering.
- Hook and loop fastening: Located at the back of the neck, this allows for quick and secure adjustments, ensuring the bib stays in place while remaining easy to remove.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification: This ensures the fabric has been tested for harmful substances, providing peace of mind when used for infant apparel.
Design & Performance
The performance of the LW82T is rooted in its 100% cotton interlock fabric. Unlike standard jersey, interlock is a double-knit construction that creates a smooth surface on both sides, making it exceptionally soft and comfortable for infants. The medium-weight fabric is substantial without being bulky, offering a balanced drape that is ideal for both comfort and customisation. The inclusion of binding detail around the edges isn't just an aesthetic choice; it significantly improves the garment's structural integrity, preventing the edges from rolling or losing shape over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bib has been specifically designed to accommodate various branding techniques. The smooth, flat surface of the cotton interlock is particularly well-suited for print, allowing for sharp, clear logos and vibrant designs that stand out. For businesses seeking a more traditional and durable finish, the double-layer construction provides the necessary stability for high-quality embroidery. Whether you require individual names or complex company logos, our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, ensures that every stitch or print meets our exacting professional standards.
Use Cases
The Larkwood bib is an excellent choice for professional childcare providers, such as nurseries and crèches, who require uniform accessories that are both safe and durable. It also serves as an effective promotional tool for businesses in the baby and toddler sector, providing a useful item that parents will appreciate. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for personalised gifts and retail-ready merchandise.

Practical Advice
This bib is supplied in a universal one-size-fits-all format, designed to accommodate a wide range of infant ages. When planning your branding, we recommend considering the placement of the hook and loop fastening to ensure your design remains visible during use. For a cohesive professional look, this bib can be easily paired with other items from the Larkwood infant range.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of the bib, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for hygiene while ensuring the cotton fibres remain supple and the colours vibrant.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals can degrade the cotton interlock and damage any custom print or embroidery. For the same reason, the garment should not be dry cleaned.
We advise against tumble drying to prevent any potential shrinkage or distortion of the double-layer fabric. Instead, allow the bib to air dry naturally. When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and ensure you do not iron directly onto any printed motifs or embroidered logos, as direct heat can cause permanent damage to the decoration.
Always wash dark colours separately to prevent any dye transfer, ensuring the bib remains in pristine condition for as long as possible.
