Gamer t-shirts are compact and compressed.

Printed Gaming t-shirts are one of the most popular promotional merchandise for the Gaming Industry! People love to ‘wear’ their favourite games. By making them compact, compressed T-shirts add instant value and interaction.  It’s amazing to see T-shirts expand and take on their natural form. And, with the added bonus that they are easy to post too!

How do compressed t-shirts work?

Simply remove the eco shrink wrapping, and compostable carton and then places the t-shirt in water for a short while. It will quickly expand and take on its natural shape. They then remove it from the water and let it dry. Alternatively, just put it directly into the washing machine. It’s as simple as that! The t-shirts have a 100% ‘recovery’ from compression. Instructions can specify “open, place in water, iron” or “open, place.

Types of screen printing for gaming t-shirts.

From 1 to 10 spot colour printing on white garments using mostly water-based inks resulting in a soft hand/feel.

• Four colour process printing onto white garments
• Photographic printing onto dark garments using a special silkscreen separation of up to 10 colours using plastisol inks or discharge printing.
• Screen printing with glossy finish: after a garment is printed, we apply a special laminate to create a super glossy finish.
• Discharge printing: creates an ultra-soft print onto dark garments. It’s super innovative as it is still a screen printing process where the same techniques and equipment are used but instead of normal ink, discharge inks are used, which remove the shirt’s dye instead of putting a colour on top of the t-shirt.

Options of compact and compressed shapes to choose from:
