Custom Screen Printing

Custom Screen Printing

AMBRO Manufacturing is a Custom Screen Printing company based in New Jersey.  We work with companies of all sizes in the U.S. and Canada to provide them with contract Custom Screen Printing services.

With over 26 years of experience, and a family owned and operate mid-sized company, AMBRO Manufacturing understands the needs of each of our customers and we treat each job as though we would be wearing the garments our self.

Custom Screen Printing is tricky because every aspect of every job is custom.  We’re not making widgets here and we don’t just stamp out hundreds of the same thing each and every day.  Most of the time, we’re printing a companies brand mark, an organizations logo or a design that commemorates an important event or milestone.  So each and every time, we have to be as close to perfect as we can be.

Custom Screen Printing

The process of Custom Screen Printing begins with the art concept.  While every component of the process is important, without a great design the finished product will fall flat.  One of the nuances of Custom Screen Printing is that art on fabric, looks a lot different than art on paper.  Just like a painter that would paint on canvas needs to use different inks and techniques than those artists that create on paper, the Custom Screen Printing company needs to have expertise on which inks, techniques and art works on which type of fabrics.

When everyone wore 100% cotton T-shirts Custom Screen Printing was far easier, but with today’s performance blends, different inks, additives, temperatures, techniques and know how all come into play to ensure an amazing end result.

Care is always taken when screen printing to ensure that each print looks as similar to the prior print as possible.  Most screen printing is done with artwork that include logos, branding and important messages about an event, company/organization or product.  While T-Shirts don’t seem like it, they are often as important as a print in a magazine or a commercial on television.  Extreme care must be taken by your silk screen partner to ensure that your brand or event is always represented properly.

Silk Screen Printing

Silk Screen Printing

Silk Screen Printing is the process of using plastisol based inks and passing them through a silk screen onto a substrate, usually fabric, metal or glass.  The process of Silk Screen Printing evolves every year and new and interesting methods and techniques become available on a regular basis.

Most of the advances in Silk Screen Printing have come in the form of unique inks.  Today, if you are interested in Silk Screen Printing you can print with scented inks, florescent inks and even conductive inks used in the medical field.

Silk Screen Printing

One of the most intriguing aspects of Silk Screen Printing is the low cost of entry for start up companies that are launching their own t-shirt line.  For minimal set up fees and even lower cost per piece/print fees, any start up can get started with their brand in no time and with a tight budget.

Screen printing can also be used effectively on fabric that can be delivered in panels and then sewn into items like bags, covers, t-shirts and other items.  One of the major advantages of using screen printing as a method of personalization is the cost.  Other print methods like DTG or Sublimation produce unique results but are far more costly than screen printing.

For small projects, or prototypes, screen printing can provide rapid turn around and changes can be made quickly and within days.

When searching for a screen printing partner, one of the things that you want to check is if they are doing their printing on an automated press or by hand.  Hand presses produce inconsistent quality and produce items slowly.  When moving into full production, you may want to work with a shop that has automatic equipment so that they can print thousands of items per hour.

If you are interested in Silk Screen Printing or are trying to find a high quality and reasonably priced Silk Screen Printing services, please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

USA Screen Printing

USA Screen Printing

Over the last decade there has been a big push on bringing manufacturing back to the United States and I can tell you that USA Screen Printing is a very strong niche industry and is thriving.  AMBRO Manufacturing has been in the screen printing industry for over 26 years and we’ve seen the industry change each year in a positive way.  New technologies for printing emerge and new methods and techniques are being developed on a regular basis.

What is most encouraging about USA Screen Printing methods and industries is that the bulk of the manufacturing of equipment, engineering, inks and processes are happening in the USA.  Major equipment manufacturing companies that support USA Screen Printing continue to release new products for the industry and do so right here on American soil.

When you are searching for an American Screen Printing Company, ask for samples of the work that they’ve done and if you are concerned that everything happens here in the USA, then ask questions about their in-house production capabilities.  Some companies may be based in the US, but sub their work over seas.  If you are working with a sub-contractor, you may be sending your work overseas without realizing it.

Most contract screen printers will welcome tours of their facility and when choosing a USA Screen Printing partner, it’s important to know who you are working with and what their in-house capabilities are.

USA Screen Printing

Screen printing is still a very economical way of promoting your organization, team, brand or business.  There are many selections of garments available for every price range and budget.  If you are looking to partner with a USA Screen Printing company for your screen printing project we would be interested in hearing from you.  Please consider giving us a call (908) 806-8337 or email us.

Wholesale Screen Printing

Wholesale Screen Printing

Searching for the best Wholesale Screen Printing company can be very frustrating.  There is no shortage of screen printers in the market, but it is VERY difficult to distinguish between who’s the real deal and who isn’t.  Building your T Shirt business or getting quality event T Shirts for your clients is too important to guess on the right Wholesale Screen Printing Partner.  Doing research online can be frustrating, and asking for and checking on referrals can be time consuming.  So what should you do to make sure that you’re finding the right partner?

Wholesale Screen Printing

Here are 5 things to consider when trying to find the best Wholesale Screen Printing partner:

1.  What is the experience level of the screen printing partner that you are considering?  If they have been printing less than 5 years, you may want to consider another partner.  There are always exceptions and there are some amazing printers out there that have only been printing for 3 months, but you want to make sure that you see several examples of their work before you make a decision.

2.  Will your screen printing partner communicate with you and keep you informed on each contract print job?  Keeping your customers informed during their custom t shirt printing job is critical.  However, you can’t keep them in the loop if you aren’t being kept in the loop yourself.  If you’re working with a 1 man/woman shop, communication might be a challenge, so looking for an organization that has several employees might be a better option.  Again, there are some single person shops that do amazing work, you just have to decide if they are going to be amazing for you.

3. Is there the proper balance between price and quality?  If you are searching for a partner and using terms like “cheap screen printing” or “low cost screen printing” then you are going to find partners that likely won’t meet your turn around time and print quality standards.  Just like in any business, there is a cost of doing business and if you find partners that skimp on those costs, there have to be quality issues that follow.  It might be quality of print, quality of duration of print, quality of communication etc … Finding the proper Wholesale Screen Printing partner may require compromise in terms of price vs. value.

4.  Do you like who you’re working with?  You may have heard the term “business is business” but in reality, business is people.  You may find an amazing partner that meets the quality that you want, the price point that you want and is great at communicating, but if you don’t like them because they are rude and abrupt, or because they treat you like a number instead of a valued customer, your business relationship with them won’t last.  It’s one thing if you are buying a non-custom product that requires no communication and not interfacing with your vendor.  But in the Wholesale Screen Printing business, there is a lot of interaction with your partner, whether it is face-2-face, phone or email, you will need to be able to deal your partner or eventually the relationship will fail.

5.  Does your Wholesale Screen Printing meet your expectations?  You might find a partner that has amazing print quality, good artistic design and is a good communicator, but if you have expectations of 5 day delivery and they work on a 6 week turn-around time, then you have a major miss match.  There is always going to be some give and take in any business relationship, you have to determine which expectations are the most important and which you can be flexible on.  When finding the best Wholesale Screen Printing partner, compromise is a factor, because not every company is going to meet all of your requirements.
