Custom All Over Print Shirts

Custom All Over Print Shirts

One of the most compelling and popular T-Shirt styles available today is the Custom All Over Print Shirts style.  This art effect is created using either all over dye sublimation or a jumbo over sized screen print.

Custom All Over Print Shirts

As a custom garment, textile and fabric decorator with over 30 years of decorating experience, AMBRO Manufacturing specializes in Custom All Over Print Shirts using both Jumbo Screen Printing and Sublimation Printing.

The methodology used for your Custom All Over Print Shirts project depends on the requirement for each project.  For example, using custom dye sublimation printing, requires that the garment be made from 100% polyester or high poly thread counts.  The garment must also start out completely white and by dyed to the design or color desired.

Jumbo Screen Printing has no fabric or fabric color restrictions, multiple colors can be used but true “all over” effect is not possible to achieve and if it were, the ink would be so thick that the comfort level of wearing the garment would suffer.

Custom All Over Print Shirts are a great way to differentiate your brand identity, but working with an experienced over sized garment printing company is critical so that you and your team can avoid the possible landmines of the process.

Each method has advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered to ensure a successful outcome.

When comparing capabilities in the marketplace, it can confusing to consumers because there is no set definition of “Jumbo” or “Over Sized”  Most standard screen printing presses can print at a range of 14″ x 16″ so if a screen printing company has a press that can print 20″ x 20″ they may consider that as Jumbo and market it as such.

AMBRO Manufacturing defines Jumbo or Over Sized Screen Printing as the ability to print on the entire surface of the shirt with no limitations.  This means, neck to waist and shoulder to shoulder printing on both the front and the back.  AMBRO Manufacturing offers Custom All Over Print Shirts in it’s most literal sense.

All Over Print Shirt

All Over Print Shirt

The popularity of the All Over Print Shirt has dramatically grown since 2005.  Most retail T-Shirts feature an all over design not only on the front and back, but the sleeves as well.  The vast majority of those T-Shirts are decorated before they are sewn into T-Shirts.  Fabric panels are cut and decorated and then sewn into T-Shirts.  This method of All Over Print Shirt is the preferred method, however, over sized screen printing and seam to seam screen printing as well as custom dye sublimation can be used to accomplish the same look and feel.

All Over Print Shirt

As an experienced garment, textile and clothing decorator, AMBRO Manufacturing specializes in seam to seam screen printing, jumbo oversized screen printing and custom dye sublimation printing.

Each method of large format screen printing offers different benefits and limitations for the work being done.  Speaking with an expert in garment or fabric decoration is essential to achieving success in your project.

Very few contract screen printing companies are capable of producing jumbo screen printing results.  Even fewer contract screen printing companies are capable of producing seam to seam printing with accuracy and precision.

Using specialized equipment that we have machined ourselves, AMBRO Manufacturing produces amazing seam to seam and All Over Print Shirt results.  We can take your concept from start to shirt within 10 business days or less.  If your brand or event is looking to stand out in a crowd of 12″ x 14″ designs, oversized screen printing is a great option and custom dye sublimation printing can create a wow as well.

When researching the right partner for your All Over Print Shirt project, be careful in describing what you mean by “jumbo” print.  That term is fluid and means something different to everyone.

All Over Shirt Printing

All Over Shirt Printing

All Over Shirt Printing requires specialized equipment that most contract screen printing companies don’t have, but we do 🙂

Typical screen printing imprint areas are 14″ x 16″ and are suitable for the “standard” front or back print of a T-Shirt.  When designers, artists and T-Shirt fanatics want all over printing on the sleeves, the neck, the waist, then it’s time to roll out the jumbo screen printing presses and create All Over Shirt Printing works of art.

All Over Shirt Printing

As a specialized textile, garment and fabric decorator, AMBRO Manufacturing specializes in All Over Shirt Printing via screen printing and All Over Shirt Printing via custom dye sublimation printing.  Both technologies offer different advantages and have their limitations, which one you choose for your project is up to you and we’re happy to help consult with you during your planning stages.

All Over Shirt Printing using oversized screen printing offers the benefit of using any type of shirt made from any type of fabric.  You can have your design span the entire front or back of the garment, and the print will lay on top of the fabric, just like regular screen printing.  Multiple colors can be used and additives can be mixed in with your inks to provide a smooth touch to any design.  The overall area does include sleeves, neck and waist, and some customers print wrap around T-Shirts.

All Over Shirt Printing using custom dye sublimation offers the benefit of vivid colors, 360 degree printing and virtually full saturation of the design into the fabric of the garment.  Complex details including photos print with vivid realism.  There is no feel to a sublimation print, as the design is deeply fused into the fabric itself, making the print appear as if the fabric were made with the print already in it.

All Over Shirt Printing is a specialty area that AMBRO Manufacturing prides themselves and we work well with companies and projects of all sizes

4 Color Process Screen Printing

4 Color Process Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing is a garment, textile and fabric decorator with over three decades of 4 Color Process Screen Printing experience.  Our manufacturing facilities are located in Flemington, NJ.  As an East Coast Screen Printing Company, we are strategically located within 1 hour drive of New York City and Philadelphia.

4 Color Process Screen Printing

The process of 4 Color Process Screen Printing is complex and requires significant expertise and know how.  Using CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) T-Shirt designers can create a virtually unlimited number of basic colors.

The process of 4 Color Process Screen Printing involves specialized opaque inks and a white underbase to achieve any color desired.  Some colors like metallics or neons are not part of the standard CMYK color spectrum and can’t be produced without extra screen printing plates and dedicated inks, but the vast majority of desired colors can be achieved.

Setting up for a 4 Color Process Screen Printing takes a decent amount of work, requires precise screen registrations and the proper sequence of inks being printed.  Since the inks are opaque, it does matter which order the colors are printed in.

Achieving amazing color prints on fabrics can be accomplished in a variety of ways but the most cost effective method for achieving these results is 4 Color Process Screen Printing.  Custom Dye Sublimation can be used as well, but fabric selection then becomes important.

As an experienced garment, fabric and textile printer, AMBRO Manufacturing has the knowledge and specialized equipment to exceed your expectations. If you are considering a multi color screen printing project, please talk with us before prior to your order.  There are nuances that need to be discussed and agreed on prior to art approval for any 4 Color Process Screen Printing project.

Sublimation T-Shirt Printing

Sublimation T-Shirt Printing

The process of Sublimation T-Shirt Printing produces amazing works of art that can be worn out and about.  Using the specialized process of dye sublimation, takes science and turns it into art.

With over 30 years of experience, AMBRO Manufacturing has been providing garment decorating and fabric embellishment services to the trade.  With the resurgence of polyester performance fabrics, Sublimation T-Shirt Printing has taken off and has carved out it’s own special niche in the marketplace.

Sublimation T-Shirt Printing

Firmly rooted in urban communities, young entrepreneurs are selling amazing works of art going door to door or directly out of their trunk.  The next FuBu could be out there.

The amazing part of working with the Sublimation T-Shirt Printing process is that fashion incubators can launch high quality retail level merchandise without the large cost of set ups and the high minimums that are usually associated with multiple color designs.

Companies like AMBRO Manufacturing offer low minimum quantities, just 12, to launch a brand.  Fashion entrepreneurs can launch a brand on a shoestring but have a product line that looks like they are a huge company.

Most fashion entrepreneurs think that they need to immediately jump into a cut and sew environment to produce truly unique garments.  While cut and sew does open up a wide range of fashion possibilities, the high costs associated with domestic cut and sew projects often scare would be fashion moguls away.

There are of course over seas cut and sew options, but the unknown of working with someone thousands of miles away, inconsistent quality control and the risk of pay first and wait for 8 weeks or more for product delivery, coupled with customs clearances and other issues, is not always the best option either.

Post sewn garments can be sublimated and done well with minimal issues.  While not perfect, this solution is often an acceptable compromise for start up fashion companies that are looking to launch their brand.

Dye Sublimation Shirts

Dye Sublimation Shirts

One of the most important advances in the fashion incubator world is the proliferation of Dye Sublimation Shirts.  Once only available in cut and sew environments, Dye Sublimation Shirts are not possible on T-Shirts that are factory sewn, meaning, you can achieve all over sublimation print (within reason) on post sewn garments.

Dye Sublimation Shirts

Experienced garment, textile and fabric decorating companies like AMBRO Manufacturing have pioneered methods to achieve 360 degree print coverage on Dye Sublimation Shirts without having to move to a higher cost cut and sew operation.

While there are some design aspects that can not be accomplished without cut and sew, Dye Sublimation Shirts that are done flat and by an experienced dye sub decorator can be so close to perfect, that there are no valid concerns to warrant a full out custom cut and sew.

Turn around times for this type of sublimation project are much shorter, and the results are simply eye popping.  If you are new to sublimation and are considering launching a new brand or supporting an existing brand, dye sublimation printing is a technology that should be considered.

Unlike screen printing, custom dye sublimation has no feeling to it, the images are fused directly into the fabric.  There are some restrictions on what fabrics can be used for a dye sublimation project, but with today’s polyester and poly blends, there is often a fabric that is suitable for any project.

Working with AMBRO Manufacturing, we can assist you from the design phase through to the production of your garment.  We look forward to meeting you and hearing about your project.

Sublimation Shirts

Sublimation Shirts

AMBRO Manufacturing is a wholesale contract screen printing, contract embroidery and contract Sublimation Shirts provider.  With over 30 years of experience, AMBRO Manufacturing provides outstanding customer service, amazing sublimation prints, fast turn around and no stress during your sublimation project.

Sublimation Shirts

As an experienced Sublimation Shirts provider, AMBRO Manufacturing is aware of the pitfalls and nuances of post sewn garment dye sublimation.

Typically dye sublimation is most effective when performed on flat fabrics using a roll to roll dye sublimation press.  These presses can produce vivid and beautiful colors and designs on one or both sides of the fabric.

Starting out with 100% polyester fabrics in white, dye sublimation companies decorate rolls of fabric that are then sent to cut and sew facilities to be sewn together into finished garments.  Mostly done outside of the United States, these cut and sew manufacturing facilities can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks to complete a project and the quality and consistency vary.

Recently, new methods of creating Sublimation Shirts and new technologies have enabled custom dye sublimation decorating companies to create amazing designs on T-Shirts that have already been sewn into T-Shirts.  This type of dye sublimation printing eliminates the time delay and expense of off shore or on shore custom cut and sew operations.

There are some minor effects of post sewn dye sublimation that include accidental folds and missed dye sub areas, but these typically occur in areas that are not readily noticeable.  When compared to the time requirements and costs of off shore cut and sew, these minor defects become far less important to customers.

What is Sublimation

What is Sublimation

The process of dye sublimation enables fashion designers and entrepreneurs to launch new lines of clothing with vivid and eye catching fabrics in days rather than weeks and months.  If you’ve been asking yourself what is sublimation, it’s without doubt a subject that you want to familiarize yourself with, especially if you are involved in the fashion industry.

What is Sublimation

Dye sublimation is effective only on polyester of polyester family member fabrics.  For example, fabrics like Nylon, Rayon, Spandex, Satin and Polyester blends all accept dye sublimation printing and provide vivid results.

Using the right garment decorator that has experience with dye sublimation, opens virtually limitless options for fabric designs.

What is Sublimation?  Sublimation is your key to rapid fashion prototyping, low run minimums and amazing production quality results.  Almost any garment can be sublimated.  Speaking with a sublimation industry expert can help give you ideas on what products that are pre-sewn can be sublimated.  Items like T-Shirts, Shorts, Pillow Cases, Socks and Headbands can all be dye sublimated.

In order to successfully launch a dye sublimated brand, partnering with a qualified Sublimation Specialist is essential.  Jumbo all over shirt printing requires industrial sublimation equipment and experience.  Working off shore can provide low price points, but often results in long turn around times, inconsistent quality and frustration.

There are qualified U.S. companies like AMBRO Manufacturing that offer fast turn around, prototyping, phone and in person consultation and competitive price points.  Investing in a product launch that requires sublimation is not challenging if you partner with the right Dye Sublimation expert.

If you have been asking yourself What is Sublimation? AMBRO Manufacturing is interested in speaking with you.  Please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.
