All-Over Belt Printing
Over-sized prints, all-over prints, belt printing... there are many different names for it but not too many screen printers in the U.S. are doing it. Prewards has been following this trend towards larger and larger prints for years but not until the recent acquisition by our decoration facility of the new over-sized Alpha 8 screen printing press were we able to accomplish such huge designs. The addition of this equipment and technology is just another example of how committed Prewards is to bringing the latest innovations in screen printing and embroidery to our customers.

Specialty Inks and Screen Prints
Specialty Inks and Decorations
The apparel industry has come a long way in the last 10-15 years in regards to new ink technologies, screen making techniques and decoration textures. Puff ink used to be the only specialty tool we had, and now our imagination is our only boundary. Retail customers demand a much more sophisticated t-shirt these days and so do our clients. The research we put in to stay ahead of the curve is one of the core drivers to our continued success. As you can see from the examples below the possibilities are endless. We use a core pallet of specialty inks and bases that lay the foundation for many of these samples but the ink alone doesn't create that one of a kind look we are going after. The real magic comes in the creative partnership between Prewards and our valued client base.
