T Shirt Printing Companies

T Shirt Printing Companies

Finding the best T Shirt Printing Companies can be a mind boggling task.  The internet makes it very easy for small companies, unreliable companies and virtual companies to project an image of greatness.  When searching for T Shirt Printing Companies that you are considering for long term partnerships with, you can’t afford to mis-step.

Important factors like, pricing, turn-around-time, reliability, quality, communication, ethics and a variety of other business critical items must be validated for all T Shirt Printing Companies under consideration

T Shirt Printing Companies

Your customers rely on you to provide them with high quality, reasonably priced products on time.  Partnering with the wrong company can not only damage your brand, but it could leave you with unhappy customers that never return.

Since growing your business is critical, and customer retention and growth is an important component to that end, finding the right T Shirt Printing Companies to work with is more important than ever.

Here are the top 10 things to consider when researching the best T Shirt Printing Companies for you:

1.  Is the company the right size to meet your needs?

2.  Is the company financially stable?

3.  Who will be your day-2-day contact that you work with via phone and email?

4.  Do the T Shirt Printing Companies that you are researching have the ability to handle your business growth?

5.  Can the screen printing company provide you with positive references?

6.  Can you review the quality of your proposed partner’s print work?

7.  If a larger customer than you comes along, will your screen print jobs still get done on time?

8.  Do you like working with the people that you have met or talked to?

9.  What capabilities are the print shop considering to expand their services that might benefit you and your product line?

10.  What is your gut telling you about the company?

There is no magic formula to always picking the right T Shirt Printing Companies to work with, you simply need to do your due dilligence and identify a partner that you can work with and grow with that has the flexibility, service and pricing that you need.

Good communication from the beginning is always important.  If you can’t get a company on the phone early on, it’s not likely to get better once you begin working with them.

Large Format Screen Printing

Large Format Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing specializes in Large Format Screen Printing.  Unlike traditional or “Standard” screen size printing, Large Format Screen Printing allows for a much greater surface area to be printed.  Typically when a business or a consumer thinks of an all over screen print, sublimation comes to mind.  However, few realize that you can accomplish similar results with Large Format Screen Printing.

Large Format Screen Printing

All screen printing equipment is designed differently, and while the methodology is similar, the type and sizes of equipment vary greatly.  Large Format Screen Printing requires a specialty printing press that is far larger than the standard 14″ x 16″ size presses that are commonly available in the industry.

Since the surface printing area of commonly sized T-Shirts readily accepts a 14″ x 16″ print area and since most screen printers only print T-Shirts or similar garments, the availability of Large Format Screen Printing is rare.

Using the larger format presses, AMBRO Manufacturing is able to print all over the entire surface of a T-Shirt.  If you have unique artwork that requires an all over T-Shirt print, a wrap around print or printing on the neck, sides or sleeves, then Large Format Screen Printing or Sublimation are your only options.

Sublimation is a great solution for decorating garments that need full saturation printing, but fabric selections are limited to 100% polyester or high polyester thread count garments.  Large Format Screen Printing allows artists, companies or organizations to have a similar design look, but a wider choice of garments and fabrics.  Large Format Screen Printing does not require any special type of fabric, this type of printing can be done on any blend of fabric.

This type of printing is available on items other than T-Shirts.  For example, Sweat Pants with full leg prints, Hoodies and a variety of other textiles can all be printed using this technology.

Snapback Hats

Snapback Hats

Snapback Hats are very popular in today’s music scene and in Hollywood.  Second to the T-Shirt, snapback hats are very popular in the start-up entrepreneur community for new fashion companies.  AMBRO Manufacturing has worked with companies small and large to get their Snapback Hats line off of the ground.

While we don’t manufacture Snapback Hats in our facility, we do decorate them with screen printing and embroidery.  We have a wide selection of Snapback Hats that you can customize with 280° embroidery using your design.

Snapback Hats

If you aren’t that familiar with Snapback Hats, you may have mistaken them for a traditional baseball hat.  Snapback Hats are typically a flat brim, high domed cap with … you guessed it … a snap in the back.  These hats became popular in the 1990’s in the hip hop community and were once associated with just old school hip hop.  Today Snapback Hats are more popular than ever.

Most Snapback Hats come from the manufacturer with a 3D hollogram decal on the top of the brim or beneath it.  As a statement of fashion, a good number of people leave that decal on the brim, some even leave the price tag dangling from the back of the cap.

AMBRO Manufacturing offers full decoration services on Snapback Hats for start up companies and medium to large sized companies.  We can decorate your Snapback Hats with either screen printing or embroidery.  Keep in mind that all over bill decoration is done prior to the assembly of the hat, so if that is in your design library, custom made hats will need to be made.

Our recommendation for any start-up interested in these caps is to place a small order for 24 caps with a single design, then promote them within your local networks.  When they sell out, order another 2-4 dozen, and add another design, possibly a T-Shirt as well, and move forward slowly getting feedback on every sale.  Building your brand will take patience and we’re here to help.  We do amazing work and you’ll be very happy with our quality and price points.

If you are interested in Snapback Hats please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Custom Screen Printing

Custom Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing is a Custom Screen Printing company based in New Jersey.  We work with companies of all sizes in the U.S. and Canada to provide them with contract Custom Screen Printing services.

With over 26 years of experience, and a family owned and operate mid-sized company, AMBRO Manufacturing understands the needs of each of our customers and we treat each job as though we would be wearing the garments our self.

Custom Screen Printing is tricky because every aspect of every job is custom.  We’re not making widgets here and we don’t just stamp out hundreds of the same thing each and every day.  Most of the time, we’re printing a companies brand mark, an organizations logo or a design that commemorates an important event or milestone.  So each and every time, we have to be as close to perfect as we can be.

Custom Screen Printing

The process of Custom Screen Printing begins with the art concept.  While every component of the process is important, without a great design the finished product will fall flat.  One of the nuances of Custom Screen Printing is that art on fabric, looks a lot different than art on paper.  Just like a painter that would paint on canvas needs to use different inks and techniques than those artists that create on paper, the Custom Screen Printing company needs to have expertise on which inks, techniques and art works on which type of fabrics.

When everyone wore 100% cotton T-shirts Custom Screen Printing was far easier, but with today’s performance blends, different inks, additives, temperatures, techniques and know how all come into play to ensure an amazing end result.

Sublimation T Shirts

Sublimation T Shirts

Creating Sublimation T Shirts was once only done prior to the T Shirt being sewn.  Fabric was sublimated and then cut and sewn into a T Shirt.  Today with advances in sublimation printing technology, specialized printers like AMBRO Manufacturing can print Sublimation T Shirts on T Shirts that are already T Shirts.

The results of printing Sublimation T Shirts after they are already sewn are spectacular, there are however some draw backs.  Typically this type of sublimation printing is done on a large industrial clam shell type heat press vs. the roll to roll fabric sublimation presses used in cut and sew operations.

While there are some minor drawbacks, start up T Shirt companies and large established companies should still consider post sewn dye sublimation, with the right design work and art, the end product rivals cut and sew products.  You might be surprised how many post cut and sew sublimated T Shirts are in stores today.

Sublimation T Shirts

One of the biggest benefits of post sewn Sublimation T Shirts is that the cost is far lower than sublimating fabric and cutting and sewing that fabric into a T Shirt.  One of the largest draw backs is the creasing or lack of sublimation that can occur on the sides or arm pits of the t-shirt.

Sublimation T Shirts relies heavily on high heat and flat transfer areas.  If there are any creases in the T Shirt when the heat is applied, it is possible that white areas are left un-sublimated.

Since the lower cost generally outweighs slight imperfections and white areas in difficult to notice places, Sublimation T Shirts on post sewn T Shirts has become very popular.

Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing

Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing

One of the most impressive design methods for T-Shirts is the use of Dye Sublimation.  Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing begins with a 100% white polyester t-shirt, a custom dye sublimation printer, special transfer papers, and most importantly a very good industrial heat iron or heat press.  The end results of Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing is heavily reliant on ink quality, technique and heat.

Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing

Companies that are launching their own line of t-shirts and are starting on a shoestring budget often turn to Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing because of the low cost of entry.  Unlike screen printing that requires custom screens to be created for each color, and where the number of colors heavily influences the price, Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing has virtually no setup, and the number of colors is irrelevant to the pricing.

The design work for each project begins at the concept stage, moves into the computer using standard graphic design software, and in minutes, a brilliantly colored t-shirt is created.

Many start up companies consider getting into sublimation and doing everything in-house, and there are some compelling offers out there for desktop sublimation set ups.  The issue that most start-up companies don’t consider is that one of the distinguishing factors of Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing is the “all over” printing aspect.  100% of all desktop sublimation setups limit the user to a square or rectangular print field that is smaller than the overall garment.  This means that while you can sublimate on a budget, you can’t possibly cover the entire garment front and back with a desktop setup.

Serious Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing operations have massive heat machines as big as your car that are required to print all over the garment on the front and the back.

Another consideration is that Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing requires a 100% white garment to begin.  The t-shirts that you’ve seen are likely not all white, and that’s because the printer of that t-shirt changed the color from white to whatever colors were required in the design.

With a desktop setup you will be limited to a mostly white shirt, with sublimation prints in small areas.

If you are interested in launching your own line of sublimated t-shirts or you are interested in Dye Sublimation T Shirt Printing in general, please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Wholesale Sublimation

Wholesale Sublimation

Dye Sublimation has dramatically increased in popularity in the last 5 years.  Most of the new lines of t-shirts that are hitting the market from small start-up companies are being printed using the Dye Sublimation process.  Wholesale Sublimation printing is a key component for these start-ups.  Dye Sublimation involves using specialized opaque inks and heat to fuse high quality images or designs into fabric and other polyester substrates.  Dye Sublimation will only work on 100% polyester fabrics or substrates, or a fabric or substrate with a high concentration of polyester.  Cousins of polyester like Rayon, Nylon, Satin and Spandex also work well for Sublimation Printing.

When searching for Wholesale Sublimation partners, small start-up companies need to be careful of selecting the right partner.

Wholesale Sublimation

When searching for the best Wholesale Sublimation partner to help launch your new line of t-shirts consider these things:

1. Will they create prototypes for you i.e. one of a kind to wear test and show off

2. Do they have low minimum orders 25 per run?

3. Can they provide fast turn around time within 2 weeks.

4.  Will your Wholesale Sublimation partner collaborate with you?

5.  Does your Wholesale Sublimation partner have patience and time to talk to you?

If you are launching a brand new t-shirt line, sublimation is a great option.  Screen printing works well and looks great, but for small run launch, sublimation is going to enable you to get an amazing print product and keep your launch costs low.

If you are looking for a high quality Wholesale Sublimation partner, we would be very interested in talking with you.  We are start-up friendly and are very flexible, which makes launching your new line of sublimated t-shirts a breeze.  Please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Contract Screen Printers

Contract Screen Printers

Finding Contract Screen Printers with vision and passion is not an easy thing to do, but it’s imperative that you do!  The last thing that you want on an important garment decorating project that you are either doing personally or contracted to do for someone else, are Contract Screen Printers that treat you like you are one of many customers that just fill their coffers.

Contract Screen Printers

Printing a T-Shirt is much more than just laying down ink on fabric.  There is a lot of planning to be done in advance and a lot of questions to be answered.  For example, when interviewing potential Contract Screen Printers, ask these questions:

1.  How many customers do you have? And am I going to be important to you?
2.  Will you collaborate with me via phone or in person ?
3.  How will you ensure that my concept gets translated properly to the garment?4.  If I call you, am I going to get you on the phone or someone else?
5.  How do you build long term relationships with your customers?

Some of these may seem like deep questions to be asking Contract Screen Printers, but your business, brand and concept are important, you don’t want to trust them in the hands of some that wants to load and print your “stuff” and get them out of the shop as quickly as possible.  You’ll want to work with Contract Screen Printers that take care in their craft, that understand your project and will actually think about your goals and your company while they are preparing and printing your job.

If you are researching and seeking high quality Contract Screen Printers, please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.
