calculate costs, operational pace and quality in the medium and long term.
Custom
T-shirt
Whether for direct sales, promotional gifts or as a
corporate Uniform Printing UAE, the
personalized t-shirt has grown a lot in recent times.
The custom
t-shirt allows you to create innovative prints that only your company or
website can create to attract customers and give your employees a more
professional appearance. Therefore, inserting them in your business is a great
choice to bring several benefits, from conveying an image of greater
organization to consumers to their loyalty.
In addition, having personalized t-shirts helps to
strengthen your brand image, as you will have the opportunity to print
information about your company on them. Another point worth mentioning is that
the colors used, the font, etc., can be used to convey information to the
customer. After all, visuals can be a very strong way of communicating.
Main methods
of printing a t-shirt
There are different types of printing. Therefore,
you need to evaluate your company's goals to understand which will be the best
option to apply to your t-shirts. To give you an idea, we have selected the
main methods. See below!
DTG
The DTG printing method has been the most popular
and most common as it does not require a minimum quantity. That is, you can
print from a single copy.
Popularly known as “direct digital stamping”, it
can be used in different types of design, but, at the same time, this technique
does not allow printing in large formats or over seams.
Sublimation
Printing using “sublimation” is also very popular.
It allows printing in small areas of the fabric or in wider areas, for example,
the “full print” style, which allows printing on the entire shirt, including
the “sleeves” as well.
We remind you that printing via sublimation
generates lasting results. It allows printing over seams and has a low cost. It
is also suitable for small-scale production. However, it requires a polyester
fabric with 100% or minimal presence of this material in its composition.
Silk Screen
This is one of the pioneers in the printing
process. Also known as “serigraphy”, it is a manual or automated process by
machines.
It is very suitable for printing t-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans and other types of fabrics.
This type of printing can also be used on materials such as rubber, plastic,
paper, glass and others.
Embroidery
Currently, embroidery is not only available by
hand. There are tools and machines that allow you to embroider using
computerized functions. These are machines that can read the image and recreate
the design in the form of embroidery on the fabric.
Among the advantages, we have the differentiation
of creating value-added pieces with embroidery, that is, a personalized shirt
with embroidery is a unique piece, a totally exclusive model.
Which
printing method to choose?
The most correct printing process to choose will
depend on your organization's project goals, cost, and quantity of products
required.
Generally, the choice will depend on two
fundamental factors: the characteristic of the artwork and the type of shirt.
When we talk about the type of shirt, we are referring to the type of mesh or
fabric.
First, as we mentioned, we recommend that you
evaluate the art that will be used and the amount of colors present. That's
because if your art is too colorful, with Silk Screen, for example, you won't
get the best possible result. Because, to superimpose layers of paints in this
method is very laborious. Therefore, for this occasion, a great option would be
the DTG, as it has suitable techniques for designing with many colors.
As mentioned, another factor that greatly
influences the choice is the fabric used for production. Some common options
are:
·
Cotton knit: this type of fabric is widely used
when it comes to the quality and durability of the piece. However, because it
is 100% cotton, the sublimation printing method cannot be carried out, for
example.
·
PV mesh: its composition is polyester and
viscose. Choosing this type of fabric brings several advantages, such as lower
cost, resistance and softness. In addition, it accepts printing, for example,
in sublimation and Silk Screen.
·
Piquet: this type of fabric is also known as
polo. Its composition is 50% polyester and 50% cotton. This option is widely
used for professional uniforms.
Remember that these are just three of the many
options available. Therefore, making this assessment before choosing the print
model is essential to ensure a more satisfactory result in your t-shirts.
