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.

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

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 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

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.

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.
