Whether for your
business or for a gift, the thought of design
your own shirt is on the rise. Many sites offer to create your own logo,
slogan and print on the clothing of your choice. There are several printing
systems, but you can do it yourself, at home, at home.
House printing
It is now
possible to create your own t-shirt at home. You need an iron, a good printer
and paper transfer (sold in office supply stores). Once your logo is created or
your image is chosen, simply print on the transfer paper. Then put your shirt
(new, never washed) on a hard, straight surface like a work surface. If your
image is smaller than the sheet of transfer paper, cut out the excess by making
rounded corners. Put your iron hot and lay it on the whole image by lifting it,
do not drag it. Wait a few minutes and repeat the operation. Let the fabric
cool down and carefully remove the transfer paper by folding it back on itself
(do not pull). Easy to make, the
Flocking
If you want a
more durable solution, you can opt for flocking. It consists in projecting floc
(fiber powder) on a surface previously adhesive (on which we put glue). It will
be placed perpendicular to the surface, which will give a velvet touch. The
advantage is that it is cheap for small quantities. That's why this technique
is used when you have your favorite football shirt customized. It is available
in several specialty stores or in sports shops. Care should be taken to wash
your T-shirt upside down to prevent flocking from crumbling.
Screen printing
Main technique
used in the personalization of clothing, it can be applied on all forms,
textures and surfaces. It consists of injecting ink directly into the fabric.
It is common for stickers, clothes, perfumes, etc., and allows for advertising
campaigns thanks to the screen-printed objects on behalf of the company. Very
advantageous custom tshirt printing at
the price level for large quantities (from 50 impressions), it is also much
more resistant.
