Description
Branded lessos are versatile, culturally significant and highly practical fabric garments that offer exceptional branding space for organisations, events and campaigns. A lasso (also called a leso or khanga in some regions) is a rectangular piece of cloth traditionally worn as a wrap, headscarf, accessory or gift item. Today, custom-branded lessos are widely used for corporate promotions, community programmes, retail branding, NGO distribution drives and commemorative events due to their large print area, everyday usefulness and broad cultural appeal.
This product page explains material options, fabric quality, branding methods, size specifications, customisation processes and ordering steps to help businesses choose the right branded lessos for their marketing or outreach activities.
Material Options
Fabric Types
Branded lessos are typically produced using lightweight but durable cotton or poly-cotton blends.
• 100 percent cotton: Soft, breathable and ideal for warm weather. Absorbs ink well for vibrant, long-lasting prints.
• Poly-cotton blend: More durable, reduces wrinkling and maintains colour better with frequent washing.
• Premium lightweight cotton: Smooth texture, high print clarity and soft on the skin. Suitable for premium gifting lessos.
Fabric Weight
• Standard weight: 100–120 gsm for everyday use, community giveaways and events.
• Premium weight: 120–150 gsm for higher durability, richer hand feel and more premium packaging.
Softness and Comfort
Cotton-based fabrics offer a soft finish that feels comfortable when worn, wrapped or carried. They drape well and remain breathable for long hours.
Printability
Lessos provide one of the largest printable surfaces among branded textiles. The fabric absorbs ink evenly, ensuring strong colour reproduction and clear details.
Durability
High-quality cotton or blended fabrics withstand frequent washing, sun exposure and daily wear, making them ideal for long-term promotional value.
Branding Methods
DTF Printing (Direct to Film)
DTF printing involves transferring full-colour artwork from a film sheet onto the fabric using heat.
• Supports high-resolution graphics, illustrations, symbols and multi-colour artwork.
• Produces flexible prints that do not crack easily.
• Ideal for colourful, complex designs.
Screen Printing
Screen printing pushes ink through a stencil mesh onto the fabric.
• Excellent for large runs and simple, bold designs.
• Long-lasting inks resistant to washing.
• Cost-effective for mass production or NGO programmes.
Embroidery (Selective Use)
Embroidery is used only on certain lasso types or for smaller logos.
• Provides a premium textured finish.
• Suitable for small crests or decorative edges.
• Less common for full-surface prints due to the large fabric size.
