Hat Screen Printing

Hat Screen Printing

In the custom garment printing business, we talk a whole lot about customized shirts.  Sure, customized shirts are a great option for many reasons, but they certainly aren’t the only option.  There are tons of types of garments you can print on, but there’s also a whole world out there of customizable accessories.  For example, custom printed socks are a huge hit because they are simple, but great-looking.  Another such accessory is the quintessential hat.  Custom hat screen printing is a great way to quickly create a unique, retail-ready look.

Custom hat screen printing could be the perfect way to add some more products to your inventory as a custom garment designer.  A simple, but strong logo on a hat really makes a statement, especially since they are stationed near eye level.  It’s a smart way to give public exposure to your brand but still keep the fun and creative side involved.  You don’t have to be a custom garment decorator either to take part in hat screen printing.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we have low screen printing minimums so anyone can get involved.

Discharge Screen Printing

Discharge Screen Printing

So let’s talk screen printing.  Firstly, what is it?  Screen printing, at a glance, is applying ink to the surface of a garment through silk screens.  The screens have designs etched out in an emulsion that covers the holes in the mesh.  Once all the layers of the design have been applied, the garment can be dried and it is ready to hit the market.  If you’ve been researching around, you might have heard about discharge screen printing.  You may be wondering what that might be and how it is different than other screen printing.

Discharge Screen Printing

Originally, practically all screen printing was done with plastisol inks.  Plastisol inks are made from PVC and contain virtually no solvent, which means that they won’t dry up when left exposed to the air.  They are user-friendly inks that can be re-used over and over again with no degradation in quality.  For some, however, the ‘hand’ that plastisol inks leave behind is unappealing.  Also prints printed with plastisol inks cannot be ironed as it will re-melt the ink.  Luckily, screen printing with plastisol inks isn’t the only option around anymore.  With discharge screen printing, you can get a whole new look for you custom goods.

Discharge screen printing is a method of printing that uses water-based inks to create the image.  The ink is specially formulated to remove the existing color in the garment, the ‘discharge’ step, and then apply a new color in its place.  This method leaves behind a very soft ‘hand’ which many people like for their prints.  If you are interested in having your own custom discharge screen printing projects done, I urge you to come visit us at AMBRO Manufacturing.  You can contact us to place an order, or to find out more about our company and services, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
