Can you screen print on the pocket of a t-shirt?
We can and do screen print on pockets of t-shirts all of the time. It is a very common request when it comes to custom pocket t-shirts. However, there are just a few things I would like to make you aware of when requesting a screen printed design on the pocket.
The size of the pocket is actually pretty small. This really limits the size of the design that we can print. It also limits the amount of colors we can print on the pocket because of poor registration with multiple colors. Registration is the lining up of the colors to match the design for print. Hitting such a small space with the screen in the right location for multiple colors to match up against each other is a very difficult process. It is something we will gladly do but we typically limit it to two printed colors on the pocket.
Most often when we explain these limitations, our customers opt for us to print right above the pocket. We print above the pocket much more frequently than we do on the actual pocket itself. This allows us to print more colors in the design, line it up better, and make it larger. We definitely suggest this route almost every time. There are very few use cases where printing on the pocket is better than printing above the pocket.
There are even fewer use cases where we print on the pocket and above the pocket. This is only possible when the design is not a continuous print. It also costs more to do so because it is considered two locations for print.
