Default Screen Printing Onesies

Would like some information for printing onesies. What type of platen should I be looking for? A sleeve or leg platen or something else? I think the child/youth platen will be too large even if we open up the onesie.

Thanks!

I dont know about for screen printing but I would imagine the platens are close in size. I do dtg printing and the platen that works for me is the long sleeve platen or pocket platen. I dont know if you use a pocket platen in screen printing but that is the one that works best for me with onsies. You are right about youth platens, they are a bit big for onesies expecially the smaller sizes such as 3 months. Hope this helps some I dont know if it will since I am referring to sizes of dtg platens but like I said they should be similar in size.

Hi Melissa,

Just find one that is about the same width as the smallest size. You can usually make one up yourself if you are just using a manual press.
