Hi guy's, I'm looking for the supplier off these pallets in the youtube video i have attached. The address they give you ( web address that is ) takes you to a different place, not them. They do have an address and a phone number but i was hoping to be able to e-mail them as phone calls to the states are expensive. If anyone knows of these guy's can you please let me know. Thanks. I have found a few other guy's that do similar pallets, mrprint and actionengeneering, but i like the look of these ones, think they will perform better for my purposes. Regards, Ash. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNsPg55HATk
Pretty much. With a belt printer your shirt is completely flat so little to no gap if a full bleed on front and back is necessary, and on these type of pallets there is a small gap of material on the sides that would be unprinted because of the pallet. On the other hand, there would be less of a chance of the shirt shifting between colors since it would be stuck to the pallet with adhesive.

Thanks guy's for your reply's and help. In regards to belt printers, they are expensive to purchase, the time it takes to glue the t-shirts on the inside with an adapted glue sprayer ( annamister ) that sprays corn starch inside them takes two people to do it and also two people to load the belt printer. You are correct in saying that shirts printed with a belt printer have questionable redgistration, as even though the shirts are glued on the inside and that the belt is also tacky they still have movement from shirt to shirt, not to mention that the loaders don't always place the shirts in the exact same position everytime. Belt printed t-shirts look great however, you only need to look at Affliction and Remetee ( to name just a few ) to see that. The gap that is left down the sides of t-shirts that are printed on the ' Winged Sleeve All Over Pallets ' is a smidgen bigger than the one left by a belt printer but not much. Belt printers for the most part have a minimums t-shirts run, most company's will only touch your job if it is over 150 pieces, some are much higher than this. To get yourself set up with the ' Winged Sleeve All Over Pallets ' would be expensive to begin with as you will undoubtebly need more than just one sized pallet for the various t-shirt sizes. So far prices for these things are up in the $700 - $ 900 dollar mark each, if you times that by how many you need for a carousel ( manual/automatic ) by how many sizes you will need for the various t-shirt sizes, it does start to get very expensive. But if you have the work coming in they will soon pay for themselves in a short time. The price difference between purchasing a belt printer v's carousel set up with Winged Sleeve Pallets is huge, as you would have seen in the video I attached that it is very easy to run with just two people, you could even run it by yourself if you had to, although production would be much slower.
Hi guy's, thanks for your assistance. The pallets from mrprint and actionengeneering are not the ones I am looking for, they are not the same as the ones in the video i posted, they are very similar but not the same. In the video I posted you will see that the pallets have a straight action to them, they do not swing like the ones at mrprint and actionengeneering. The pallets in the video i posted go in and at the same time, not the case with the swing arm sleeved ones. The difference here is ease of loading and unloading = time = money = less frustration and less parts that will break down. Hope this has cleared things up some , but thanks for your reply's, it is appreciated muchly.

I agree, the ones on your video looked much nicer than those from the Action videos (which looked pretty crappy, IMO).
I searched all over based on the domain name, the LLC, the address, and couldn't find anything. It's possibly that someone bought them up (cough, Action..).. Good luck.
Thanks for your efforts on this, one does live in hope that someday we'll find them. In regards to Actionengeneering buying them out or for that matter mrprint, I have heard on the grape vine that mrprint and action copied as much as they could that particular version which was apparently made by a company over 25 years ago named ' Advance.......? ', and they had to modify it as the original is patented/copyrighted. Yes the pallet in the video looks much easier to load/unload than the others and also looks alot more stable/solid.

I contacted the website admin for printingpallets.com and he said the Autopallet is still in development stages. They are based in L.A.
Hey thanks for doing that, much appreciated. Development stage hey, well develop away my friends cause i want some of them pallets. Lol.
Could you pass onto me the e-mail address of the admin you spoke to please? Thanks again for your efforts. Ash.
