Contract Discharge Printing

Contract Discharge Printing

Are you a fan of screen printing, but you wish there was a way to get a softer hand to your prints?  Well, luckily for you, there is such a way to get those ‘barely there’ graphics onto your custom garments!  You can jump into contract discharge printing and feel the difference immediately.  Contract discharge printing uses water based inks instead of the typical plastisol inks, which leaves a different, softer feeling on the garment that many people love.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me explain how the inks work differently.  With plastisol inks, there is virtually no solvent and adequate heat is required to cure and set the ink.  Water based inks contain solvents, often times including water, which must be evaporated to set the print.  Since water based inks are susceptible to drying out, they cannot be reused like plastisol inks and are more expensive.  The benefit, however, is that the dye can penetrate deeper into the fabric and deposit the color while producing that softer touch that is so desirable.  Plastisol inks only remain on the surface and become rigid after curing.

Contract discharge printing is just an extension of water based ink screen printing where a discharge agent has been added to the ink.  Discharge printing works by removing the preexisting color from the garment via the discharge agent.  If you tint the ink containing the discharge agent, you can simultaneously take out the old color and input your own new color!  So, in the battle of plastisol inks versus water based and discharge inks, there is not clear winner.  It all depends on your customization needs and aspirations.  If you work with us at AMBRO Manufacturing, you won’t have to choose because we can offer you both!  You can contact us to place and order, or to find out more about our company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Wholesale Novelty Passports

Are you looking for something creative and interactive for you next big event?  Are you hosting a trade show and you want to provide some sort of activity for attendees?  Are you responsible for coming up with an activity to inspire positive educational progress?  If you’ve been having trouble finding the answer to these questions, then you should consider wholesale novelty passports.  Wholesale novelty passports are a great option for someone who wants to create a fun way to track the day’s events and a lasting souvenir for when it’s over.

Wholesale Novelty Passports

You might be wondering, ‘What’s a novelty passport?” if you’ve never heard of one before.  Quite simply, novelty passports are imitation passport books that can be customized for special events.  They are constructed to have the look and feel of a real passport, but they cannot and should not be used for official purposes.  Instead, wholesale novelty passports are intended as motivational or inspirational tools.  At a trade show you can distribute custom wholesale novelty passports to the people and they can use them to keep track of the different booths they’ve visited throughout the day.  Just like with the real thing, novelty passport books can be stamped or stickered to prove that you have visited that station.  You can also employ novelty passports for use as progress marking tools for students.  They will be able to receive marks in their passport as they accomplish pre-determined tasks or receive exemplary grades.

Getting your wholesale novelty passports customized means that you can enhance your next group activity by creating unique souvenirs.  Not only will they make your event extra fun, they will serve as a reminder of all the fun your patrons had for years to come.  If you are interested in acquiring your own novelty passports, you can contact us at AMBRO Manufacturing by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
