T shirt printing hits the big time at Fanela
Monday, 14 June 2010 15:10
The Leicestershire-based T shirt printing company Fanela are about to complete one of their biggest orders ever!14,000 t shirts have been printed, not just once, but twice – on front and back – in a complex multi stage t shirt printing method.
The t shirt printing order, for a national next day delivery courier company, has been competed in a record ten days and is delivered to the client later today!
All 14,000 multi-sized t shirts have been printed with a lithographic transfer. In this process, the image for both the front and back of the t shirt is first printed (with specially created inks) onto transfer paper - essentially creating a traditional fabric transfer.
A strong and long-lasting fabric adhesive is then screen printed on to this transfer image, so that the transfer itself (with adhesive on) can then be heat pressed to the t shirt.
All in all, some four or five t shirt printing processes are used to apply the front and back designs to 14,000 t shirts. That’s an incredible 28,000 impressions in just 10 days!
Artie Pallari, Managing Director of Fanela said:
“We love orders like this as they really require us to work together, across all departments to ensure that the product is delivered perfectly, and on time. And of course we are delighted to be working on such a complex t shirt printing order with a big corporate client too.”

Why Use T Shirt Printing for Promotional Purposes?
Over the last 60 years or so, t-shirt printing has become more and more popular. The main method of t shirt printing has always been screen printing - a very simple technique that uses a mesh and a stencil to transfer ink to certain sections of a t shirt’s fabric - but digital printing is becoming more common now too.
Almost any colourways are possible with t shirt printing, and any design, and whilst the process is a little more complicated on dark fabric, it’s relatively easy to get amazing effects (and you can even use glitter or foil t shirt inks for a really unusual look!)

Whatever you do with your printed t shirt, there is no doubt it is a superb way of making a business or a brand more visible. Everybody knows the power of advertising, and printed t-shirts are just that – superb advertising. Not only can a printed t-shirt remind people of your company or your product every time they see it, but it can also create a really strong identity for your sports or social club too, and without huge expenditure either.
