Scented T-Shirts

Scented T-Shirts

What’s that aroma?  I’ll tell you what that aroma is: it’s coming from your brand new custom scented T-shirts! Oh, what’s that? You’re telling me that you don’t have any custom scented T-shirts?  No problem!  At AMBRO Manufacturing we’ve got what you need to create scented T-shirts.  Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of scented T-shirts before because the process isn’t much different from regular screen printing.  And if you’ve never had anything screen printed before, we can help you with that too here at AMBRO Manufacturing.

So what’s the deal with scented T-shirts? How does it work?  What can you expect from them?  Well the best way to convey the science behind the print is with bubble wrap.  When we print the scented ink onto the garment, it’s like we are applying a layer of microscopic bubble wrap to the surface where each bubble is filled with fragrance.  During the time that you wear the garment, movements will cause these bubbles to pop which will release the scent.  So as you make your way through the day, fragrance will continuously be released.  What this also means though, is that after several washes, the scent begins to dissipate, but at least your custom designed artwork will still be going strong!

As I hinted to earlier, the scent comes from the ink, so the more ink you print, the stronger the scented T-shirts’ fragrance will be.  Scented prints aren’t the only thing we can do at our company though.  We have many other screen printing, sublimation, and embroidery services to select from.  We can also do mixed media prints utilizing two or more services at once.  If you are interested in placing an order for scented T-shirts, or if you’d like to find out more about us, you can contact us by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

When it comes to print custom clothing, it’s always good to have options.  As you may already know, certain designs need the right mixture of services to be realized on a garment.  Most screen printing in America is done with plastisol inks because they are cost effective and easily reused without detriment to the pigment.  Generally, people don’t notice the feel of the print, also known as the ‘hand’, on their garments.  Some lightweight fabrics or garments with many colors printed on them tend to have a more obvious ‘hand’ which may be unpleasant to some.

Discharge and Water Based Printing Services

Discharge and water based printing services are alternative options to plastisol printing.  One of the benefits of using water based inks is the soft ‘hand’ it leaves on the fabric.  Water based inks are much thinner than plastisol inks and because of this, you can barely feel the print on the fabric.  So if you have picky customers at your custom garment store that complain about ‘weighty’ prints, water based printing will quiet them down.  Discharge printing is water based printing with a discharge agent added to the ink.  When the discharge ink is printed and then run through a dryer, the discharge agent removes the existing dye from the fabric.  If you tint the discharge ink you can simultaneously remove the old color and apply a new color in its place!

Discharge and water based printing services generally cost a little more because water based ink has a short shelf life; once you mix a batch, you must use it before it expires.  However, sometimes your designs call for specialty services so it’s important to find a printing company who can help you out.  At AMBRO Manufacturing we can hook you up with our discharge and water based printing services!  You can contact us for any questions or concerns, or to find out more about or company, by email or by calling us at (908) 806-8337.
