HOW to decide on all-over printing?

Why choose all-over printing

The famous all-over printing method, known generally as the „all-over“, makes it possible to print literally all-over or at least over the large part of a t-shirt, hoodie or other apparel.
By choosing this method you won’t have to limit yourself as to the size of the motive anymore. It is mostly even possible to print over such traditional obstructions as the pockets or zippers.

Quality

The all-over is a screen-printing method and so the printing quality equals the classical screen-printing results, which belong among the best. The all-over is one of the most sophisticated and complex printing techniques of today and OP TIGER is proud to be one of the few European print houses to own it. The methodology of all-over printing has been evolving over the last few years. We try to develop it further and even contribute with some special improvements of our own.

Minimum volume

Printing all-over the t-shirts or hoodies requires the most complex preparations which means a higher price and thus also the printing in higher quantities. We are able to run the all-over machine for as low as 300 pieces from one motive.
Please note that with the all-over printing it is especially necessary to consult the order details (such as the choice of apparel, colors, motive size, positioning, delivery time etc.) with our sales team.

HOW long does it take?

Our standard delivery time for the all-over printing is about 10-14 days. This may vary according to the complexity of the particular order, the actual capacity at OP TIGER or the availability of the apparel.

Please always consult the delivery time of your order with our sales team.

Graphic programs

The ideal printing technique for the all-over is the „discharge printing“ based on the principle of a chemical reaction with the original color of the textile. It is also good to know that sometimes the ink may create thicker layers or be cracked in „difficult“ areas around the pockets, zippers, seams and such. But all these things belong with the typical „all-over look“. Please consult our sales team regarding all the other specialities of the all-over printing.

We offer the all-over printing in two variants – JUMBO and ALL-OVER - depending on the size of the motive. For the maximum printing sizes please see our maximum print sizes.

Nobody likes it when things go wrong and we do our best to avoid spoilage, nevertheless, printing is a craft and so there may be some (about 1% spoilage is generally acknowledged as tolerable). Please take this into consideration in case you plan to deliver your own apparel for printing.

HOW much does it cost?

Preview & sample printing

To double-check the print accuracy you may decide for:

personal printing preview

agree on the exact time of the first print & come to approve it. Please note that if you fail to show on time a fee for the wasted machine’s production time will automatically be charged.

sample printing

order 1 sample to be sent to you for approval. In this case we set the machines particularly for printing one piece and so the cost of this service is relatively high. It varies according to the complexness of the given motive and current production capacity.
