Cool putting graphics in "non-traditional" areas

I just wanted to ask and find out how many of you print other areas of a shirt other than just the chest or back? Like the arm, shoulder, or bottolm left (on the back side. . . like a BIG COMPANY).

We print a decent amount of out of the norm locations. Usually the art and target market will dictate wether this will work or not. Some things just dont look right.

we do "big companies" all the time and we'll print where ever they like. sleeves, back napes, lower left, on the side, back bottom, etc.

what do you mean by "like a big companie?" . You can be as small as a start up one man operation to do untradional placement printing.

Along the line of the question , does anyone know what printing process is used when a shirt has print all over the shirt. front, back , side. Does it typically mean that the shirt was not prinited but sewn from scratch?

nice web page addventure , looks like you do some top of the line printing ,

unclear about the compressed t-shirt concept though ... and where are you guys based and no contact number on page? ... some of use preferr to talk to someone rather then fill out a form . ..

This is generally referred to as "all over" printing. Shirts like this can either be printed after they are sewn or sewn from printed fabric, depending on the design. Check out this thread for some more info:

Please Help! all over printing solution?

thanks. i appreciate your interest, but i can't give away any trade secrets on how the process is done. basically, we take a t-shirt and make it into any shape you want. it's a spin on the "walking billboard" concept t-shirts can be. we're a wholesaler, so you need to be a distributor to sign in for contact information.

this is true, and i work for the originator of the product. we hold patents on many shapes, but i am not at liberty to discuss the manufacturing process.
