Pocket Pallets

[GraphicDisorder]

What are you guys using for pocket pallets? (size?)  We very rarely get requests for it but a couple larger customers recently asked so I probably need to get the pallets.

Thanks in advance.

3" or 4" sleeve pallet depending on the pocket.

Flip the art upside down on screen and print it.

We use those 4" on our manual, thought about getting them for our auto but since we don't to a ton of pockets I'll just stick with the ones we have for our manual...they're rubber coated.

So 3" or 4" pallets will work for all pockets?

4",  but we have run into some American Apparel pockets that needed smaller.  Might be a non-issue now.

We bought the 4 up pocket palettes from action, they come 3" wide but we modified the inner two on all the palettes because we are running custom made shirts that have tiny pockets. The 3" seems to work with everything else we ever used them for.

Are you just letting shirts dangle or do you tie them up?

[inkman996]

They hang from the pocket which is close to midway of the shirt, as of yet I don't think we have had any issues with them touching the ground, and we run thousands of the damn things ugh. But for anything that does drag the ground we don't tie we just flip the excess over the  rear of the palette arm right behind the palette.

How about these? Would double be worth doing or just single?

Get the ones from Action. Got a full set (single style) that I keep setup on our diamondback full time.

Dangle.

4" can be too wide for some pockets to fit.  Last time this came up I mitered down the end of a 4" sleeve platen to about 3".  Worked great and I wondered why all sleeve platens aren't two sided like that.

So you think I should go 3 inch wide pallets?  Dual pallet option?

I have never found a pocket that doesn't fit on our 4 in boards...

Gildan, alstyle, american apparel, all fit on our 4 " boards.

I think you should have both options ideally but if Andrew's saying that the majority fit on 4" no need for the 3".

Never saw any efficiency improvement or advantage to multi up platens, everything we print is one piece to one platen.  Others seem to like 'em though.

Andrew, this was DT6000P that needed a 3" to load.

Roger Zoo!

We don't have that style up here, I have never printed them!
