Different Printing Techniques Used For Polo & T Shirts


Read the article to know about the various printing techniques used to emboss polo and t-shirts.



Printed textures are always preferred by youngsters on polo shirts and tees. They generally want to portray their style and personality by wearing ideally embossed clothing. Apart from being used as style icons, custom printed polo shirts are also utilised by many organisations as media for promoting and advertising their business. In general, different printing techniques are used to transform these simple shirts into more colourful and vibrant ones. Have a look at the following in order to know about the techniques in detail:



Screen Printing

Screen printing is one of the most common methods used by companies for personalising polo shirts and tees. Here, a particular design is separated into different individual shades and then printed on the fabric layer by layer. It is different from simulated or process printing because process printing involves usage of red, white, green, blue, gold and black ink only, in order to get a wider colour spectrum with a limited number of shades.



Embroidery

Embroidery is another popular technique used for printing on t-shirts or polo shirts. A variety of colourful threads are used for this process. This method is similar to a few other printing techniques such as appliqué, impressing or embossing, dye-sublimation transfers, airbrush and heat transfers. Many organisations use this process extensively to imprint their company logo on polo shirts and use as a medium to promote their business.



Inks

If the color and fabric of a t-shirt is light, then using inks the print on it is the best suited method. However, presently only a few organisations use water based inks on t-shirts. Majority of organisations providing custom printed t-shirts choose to use plastisol, another colour type, because colour adjustment is not required.



Dye Sublimation

Dye sublimation is best for printing full colour textures on light shaded t-shirts. However, this method is a little bit more expensive than other printing methods. Dye sublimation can’t be usedon natural fabrics, but it is perfect for fabrics such as polyester.



Direct Printing

This process involves direct application of various types of inks onto the fabric by hand in order to get a desired result. This process is mostly used at home and is quite a minimalistic printing method. In direct printing, the design pattern does not provide a heavy feel like screen printing does. However, it is difficult to cover a large portion of cloth using this method.

Thus all these aforementioned printing techniques are widely used for printing a tee or polo shirt.

Types of logos August 9, 2017 In Tips Examples of logos can be useful for clients during a  brand identity  project. Here’s a roundup of four different types of logos: lettermarks, wordmarks, pictorial marks, and combination marks.   Lettermarks Lettermarks are just what they sound like: logos that are made of letters. Whether you call them monograms, initials, or acronyms, they’re in the same category. Wordmarks Wordmarks are logos made of… wait for it… words. The brand’s name is represented by typography, without including a symbol or picture. Don’t be tempted to think “somebody just typed out that name in a font.” Good wordmarks are carefully crafted to have a visual rhythm throughout the word, balancing white space, line weights, and the way the letters interact with each other. Wordmarks can be classified according to style.   Serif wordmarks Logos made from serif lettering (where the strokes of the l...
