All Over Print Shirts
There is often confusion on the type of printing used to accomplish the look of All Over Print Shirts. There are essentially 3 methods of achieving an all over print shirts look, and two of the three methods can be accomplished on existing garments.
All Over Print Shirts
Method #1
The most popular method today for producing All Over Print Shirts is the use of custom Dye Sublimation Printing. This process involves the use of an already sewn T-Shirt that is completely white and made out of 100% polyester, high poly blends like 80/20 or 70/30 or made with polyester family members like: Spandex, Nylon, Satin, Rayon etc …
Sublimation T Shirt Printing will enable a designer to create a T-Shirt design that can be printed on the neck, sleeves, waist, front and back of a T-Shirt. Using specialized dye sublimation inks and industrial heat and pressure, designs are fused into the fabic of the T-Shirt. The result is eye popping colors, crisp edges, photo realism and a no-feel design. Since the inks are dyed into the fabric, there is no feel to the design, it as if the shirt were manufactured that way during the fabric creation stage.
Method #2
Using special screen printing equipment that is designed to print all over the face of a T-Shirt, specialty garment, textile and clothing companies like AMBRO Manufacturing can provide All Over Print Shirts services using screen printing. Most people think that sublimation or patterned fabrics are the only way to achieve and all over print shirts look, this isn’t true. Jumbo Screen Printing or Over Sized Screen Printing can produce an amazing effect and accomplish printing on post sewn T-Shirts. This print can extend on the sleeves, neck, T-Shirt Wrap Around Printing and down to the waist. Front and back printing can be accomplished as well.
Method #3
The final method of accomplishing an All Over Print Shirts look is to use custom patterned fabrics. This can only be accomplished in a true cut and sew project and requires that the shirts be manufactured to your specifications.
