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.

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 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

Sublimation Printing T Shirts

Sublimation Printing T Shirts

AMBRO Manufacturing is a custom garment, textile and fabric printing company in New Jersey.  An area of specialty for our company is Sublimation Printing T Shirts.

Sublimation Printing T Shirts involves the use of specialized fabrics, typically polyester, or polyester family members i.e. Rayon, Nylon, Spandex, Satin etc … Industrial Heat, Specialty Inks, Knowledge and Experience all go into making the perfect dye sublimated T Shirt.

Sublimation Printing T Shirts

AMBRO Manufacturing provides Sublimation Printing T Shirts wholesale to the trade.  Prices on per print for dye sublimation range from $9-$15 for a typical sized garment.  Fabric sublimation ranges based on the width of the fabric and the design.

While most of the work that we do is on already finished garments, we do offer Sublimation Printing T Shirts services but for fabric printing only.  If you are a cut and sew operation or you would like us to cut and sew your project, we can accommodate those requirements as well.

When working with your clients on their Sublimation Printing T Shirts projects, you will want to encourage them to design their artwork in a way that allows for some of the nuances of sublimation printing on a post sewn garment.

For example, small creases usually near the neck line or arm pit area can occur when providing Sublimation Printing T Shirts services on post sewn garments.  The reason for these tiny issues relate to not being able to keep a post sewn garment completely flat.  While 98% of the garment will be sublimated, it’s nearly impossible to get 100% coverage due to seams and wrinkles.

When you weigh the costs of a full cut and sew project with these small issues, it is often acceptable to have small white / non-sublimated areas in your Sublimation Printing T Shirts projects.

All Over Screen Printing

All Over Screen Printing

The process of All Over Screen Printing is different that what companies and consumers have seen with custom dye sublimation printing.  Using similar screen printing technologies and techniques, specialty screen printers like AMBRO Manufacturing can great amazing All Over Screen Printing designs on fabrics of any type, garments, textiles and a variety of other substrates.

Dye Sublimation Printing

Dye Sublimation Printing

Dye Sublimation Printing is a specialized garment decorating technique that involves sublimation inks, polyester fabrics and large scale industrial heat.  A question that we get asked a lot is what are the wholesale costs of Dye Sublimation Printing?

Dye Sublimation Printing

As a wholesale provider of Dye Sublimation Printing, AMBRO Manufacturing works with a large number of resellers and brokers of garment decorating services.  When the question of price comes up, we typically see a shock reaction to the decoration costs of wholesale Dye Sublimation Printing.

Most contractors are use to contract screen printing prices which range in cost from $.90 to $3.00 depending on the quantity of garments being decorated, the number of colors and various set up costs.  Screen Printing is a quick process where dozens of shirts can be produced each hour.  Along with scale, comes a lower price point.

With Dye Sublimation Printing, even in a wholesale environment, costs typically range from $9 to $15 per print side of a T-Shirt.  This means that a completed shirt, at wholesale, can be anywhere from $18-$30 in price, which is far more than $.90 or $3.00.

What brokers must realize is that typically, even in an industrial setting, sublimation is a lengthy and costly process.  Each shirt has to be done one at a time and printed twice, once on the front and once on the back.

When Dye Sublimation Printing on fabric, i.e. not already sewn T-Shirts, the process is far different.  Fabric Dye Sublimation Printing is typically done on a roll to roll machine that can run 24 hours per day sublimating hundreds of yards of fabric per hour.  That fabric can then be sewn into garments at a later time.

However, when Dye Sublimation Printing on already sewn T-Shirts, you can’t use roll to roll Dye Sublimation Printing and individual operators have to spend time flattening each shirt, one at a time, and carefully pressing images onto each side of the T-Shirt while protecting areas of the shirt that should not be sublimated.  When you add the cost of the equipment, inks and disposables used for each shirt, the costs have to be far higher than screen printing.

Higher costs on wholesale Dye Sublimation Printing should not be a surprise, as these garments typically retail for between $65 and $85.  When you are talking with your clients about sublimation, setting their expectations to a higher price point is important.

Large Screen Print

Large Screen Print

Large Screen Print projects require specialized and unique equipment to accomplish.  Most screen printing facilities offer standard print sizes and won’t allow for a Large Screen Print.  After all, most screen printing presses are made for T-Shirts, so even if you wear a 6XL, you don’t need a design much bigger than 14″ on the front and back of your shirt.

So what happens if you need a print image that’s 40″ wide or wider?  What if you don’t want the image screen printed on a T-Shirt but you want Large Screen Print for fabric panels?

Most standard screen printing companies would have a challenge printing on large fabric panels.  With our jumbo screen printing presses, AMBRO Manufacturing can print on any fabric, of any size.

Large Screen Print

Large Screen Print requires the use of specialized equipment and knowledge.  What makes jumbo screen printing even more challenging is that for some Large Screen Print jobs, equipment is not available to accomplish the work.  This means that custom screen printing shops like AMBRO Manufacturing have to manufacture or re-tool equipment to achieve your desired results.

Using our in-house machine shop will custom fabricate the necessary parts and adjustments to achieve the best results for your project.  Our experienced staff will guide you through the entire process, answering each of your questions and getting our questions answered so that we can achieve the right results for your project.

A large part of a successful Jumbo Screen Printing project is early communication.  When our design team understands the screen printing requirements of your project, we can guide your team early in the process to ensure that the print quality that you expect is achieved.

Tees Design

Tees Design

AMBRO Manufacturing specializes in Tees Design and has been decorating garments for over three decades.  Our in-house Tees Design staff has access to a wide range of garment decorating technologies that include : Oversize T Shirt Printing, Jumbo T Shirt Printing, Sublimation Printing, Embroidery, DTG (Direct To Garment) printing and Digital Vinyl Print and Transfer.

Tees Design

There are many  online t shirt designing tools that enable individuals and companies to create custom Tees Design with relative ease.  However, these tools are somewhat limiting and only allow for stock clip art, uploaded clip art and some fonts to be used.  More advanced Tees Design methods like half tones, jumbo prints, drop shadows and other techniques and methods that make your Tees Design pop are not available in most online t shirt design tools.

Most contract screen printing companies have in-house art staff that can work with you to create Tees Design that could never be accomplished with a cookie cutter t shirt design tool.  You might be amazed at some of the things that you can accomplish with an affordable two color design, or a one color design that incorporates fades and half tones.

Using online design tools is great if you want a standard size print shirt, with minimal artistic flair.  But if you are looking for the wow factor and you want to turn heads with your designs, working with a talented T Shirt artist at a contract screen printing company can produce amazing results.

If you are concerned that working with a professional on staff artist will increase the cost of your project, you might be interested that many contract screen printers won’t charge you for art if you are ordering a specific quantity of T Shirts.

If you are looking for Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts, finding the right screen printer to work with can be tricky.  There are thousands of screen printing companies in the U.S., they range from one person shops to large factories and everything in-between.

So how do you select the right Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts company to fit your requirements?

Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts

Choosing the right partner is tricky, but if you ask the right questions, and you are diligent with your research, you can easily identify the right screen printer for you.

The critical factors in selecting the best Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts company fall into several categories.  The questions to ask are :  Is this company large enough to handle my specific production needs?  Is the company too big for me?  Has the company done the type of work that I’m asking of them before?  Can I get the company on the phone when I need to speak with them?  Is the Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts company financially stable?

These are just a few of questions that you might consider asking in the initial interview stages for the Wholesale Screen Printed T Shirts companies that you are speaking with.

When selecting your screen printing partner, looking at live samples of their work can be very beneficial.  Even your proposed contract screen printing partner isn’t local to your business, having samples sent to you for inspection is always a good idea.

Keep in mind that your ability to get your screen printer on the phone will never be greater then at the time of your consideration.  It generally won’t get better than that, so if you aren’t happy with your ability to communicate with your screen printer now, this might be a warning flag for how things will be in the future.
