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?

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.

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

When the artwork is finalized for your Screen Printing Services project, our production team will etch the image into specialized screens and register your design on the printing press.  After one or two sample prints to ensure proper registration, the pressman will begin printing your project.

Care is always taken when screen printing to ensure that each print looks as similar to the prior print as possible.  Most screen printing is done with artwork that include logos, branding and important messages about an event, company/organization or product.  While T-Shirts don’t seem like it, they are often as important as a print in a magazine or a commercial on television.  Extreme care must be taken by your silk screen partner to ensure that your brand or event is always represented properly.

Finding high quality, reasonably priced Screen Printing Services companies that can deliver on their promised dates and ensure that your work looks amazing is not easy.  If you are interested in talking further about Screen Printing Services, please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

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.

Silk Screen Printing

Silk Screen Printing

Silk Screen Printing is the process of using plastisol based inks and passing them through a silk screen onto a substrate, usually fabric, metal or glass.  The process of Silk Screen Printing evolves every year and new and interesting methods and techniques become available on a regular basis.

Most of the advances in Silk Screen Printing have come in the form of unique inks.  Today, if you are interested in Silk Screen Printing you can print with scented inks, florescent inks and even conductive inks used in the medical field.

Silk Screen Printing

One of the most intriguing aspects of Silk Screen Printing is the low cost of entry for start up companies that are launching their own t-shirt line.  For minimal set up fees and even lower cost per piece/print fees, any start up can get started with their brand in no time and with a tight budget.

Screen printing can also be used effectively on fabric that can be delivered in panels and then sewn into items like bags, covers, t-shirts and other items.  One of the major advantages of using screen printing as a method of personalization is the cost.  Other print methods like DTG or Sublimation produce unique results but are far more costly than screen printing.

For small projects, or prototypes, screen printing can provide rapid turn around and changes can be made quickly and within days.

When searching for a screen printing partner, one of the things that you want to check is if they are doing their printing on an automated press or by hand.  Hand presses produce inconsistent quality and produce items slowly.  When moving into full production, you may want to work with a shop that has automatic equipment so that they can print thousands of items per hour.

USA Screen Printing

USA Screen Printing

Over the last decade there has been a big push on bringing manufacturing back to the United States and I can tell you that USA Screen Printing is a very strong niche industry and is thriving.  AMBRO Manufacturing has been in the screen printing industry for over 26 years and we’ve seen the industry change each year in a positive way.  New technologies for printing emerge and new methods and techniques are being developed on a regular basis.

What is most encouraging about USA Screen Printing methods and industries is that the bulk of the manufacturing of equipment, engineering, inks and processes are happening in the USA.  Major equipment manufacturing companies that support USA Screen Printing continue to release new products for the industry and do so right here on American soil.

When you are searching for an American Screen Printing Company, ask for samples of the work that they’ve done and if you are concerned that everything happens here in the USA, then ask questions about their in-house production capabilities.  Some companies may be based in the US, but sub their work over seas.  If you are working with a sub-contractor, you may be sending your work overseas without realizing it.

Most contract screen printers will welcome tours of their facility and when choosing a USA Screen Printing partner, it’s important to know who you are working with and what their in-house capabilities are.

USA Screen Printing

Screen printing is still a very economical way of promoting your organization, team, brand or business.  There are many selections of garments available for every price range and budget.  If you are looking to partner with a USA Screen Printing company for your screen printing project we would be interested in hearing from you.  Please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Screen Printing Companies

Screen Printing Companies

Locating the best Screen Printing Companies to partner with can often be a daunting and frustrating but not impossible task.  There is a fine balance between experience, capability, price and quality that has to be met in order for any relationship with a screen printer to be successful.  Here are some things to consider when trying to find the best Screen Printing Companies to work with.

Screen Printing Companies

Yes we can!

Every screen printer is going to say “yes” so be careful to ensure that the company that you choose can actually do the work.  If they can’t, you’ll end either having your job be sub-contracted out without your knowing or you’ll end up missing your deadline because the screen printing company that you chose, bit off more than they could chew and left you missing your deadline.  Interview the company carefully and ask for links to photos of their shop, look for them on the web and review what their customers are saying about them.

Don’t always go for the cheapest price

It’s so tempting to get multiple quotes and just pick the cheapest quote.  After all, screen printing is just screen printing right?  Wrong.  Screen printing is an art, and knowledge, experience and equipment all matter in the outcome of the product that leaves the shop.  You could go to your local craft store and for less than $200 buy a table top screen printing press and start making your own t-shirts.  Screen Printing Companies have professional equipment that produced professional results.  Your clients are particular and you will want to have a print quality that meets not only their standards but their customer standards as well.  “you get what you pay for” has never been more true than with the varying qualities of Screen Printing Companies and their products.

Work with a master of their craft

Printing t-shirts is not rocket science, but there are lots of factors that need attention in order to get a high quality, long lasting print.  Most of the images that are printed by Screen Printing Companies on t-shirts are logos or emblems that identify a company or entity.  Brand importance is of paramount concern to most companies and color matching as well as logo replication and placement are important factors in a quality job that Screen Printing Companies need to pay attention to.  For example, what happens if the printer that you choose didn’t think about where a hood falls on a hoodie when the person wearing it doesn’t have the hood up?  What happens is that your logo, website and phone number are hidden by the hood!  That’s one small nuance that an experienced Screen Printing Company would never allow to happen.  Or … what happens when your logo includes a light color like yellow, but your garment is dark.  If the Screen Printing Companies that you are working with don’t apply a white underbase, your bright yellow logo is going to be dull and gold.

If you are trying to find high quality experienced Screen Printing Companies, researching their work online is critical, see what other customers are saying, ask for samples of their work or to go to their shop and watch them print.
