hoodie front pocket?

[jason-23]

I have job and the image is going to run over the front hand pocket pouch thing. Any ideas on how to do this or is this a no go?

Good morning Jason:

It looks as if the image doesn't actually cross the pocket hem. If that is the case then there are things that can be done here to accomplish this. I would suggest that the main challenge is keeping the pockets from lifting when the screen come up.

1 - A Tight fit on the Pallet -  will put tension on the pocket layer and hinder it from movement.
2 - Small amount of starch glue inside the pocket.
3 - Using an ink with a low tackiness to make the release easier. Talk to your Ink supplier
4 - Applying silicone spray to screen and garment surface will eliminate problems.
5 - Print in two setups - body print and then the pockets. Use a hold down on the pockets.

Also - the part of the image that is over the pockets - burn separate screens that get shimmed up slightly to account for pocket rise.

I hope this helps - I think it's very do-able.

yup, can be done. you'll have to glue the pockets shut and use the padding to print over the seam.

Padding??

I should have enlarged that picture before replying. I see now that the top of the pocket image goes over the upper seam. Pierre's response made look closer.

Another possibility is using a Jacket Hold Down setup that has some super soft-top rubber on the print side ( as Pierre suggested ). The Hold down will keep the pocket in place instead of using he glue method.

Padding??

Padding = 1/4" neoprene rubber similar to a mouse pad. It's not very flash friendly but excellent for going over seams. yes - we do stock it. It's laminated with nylon on one side - identical to the common mouse pads.

  I would do two prints. On the pocket I would burn a screen at 90 degrees and use
a sleeve or pant leg pallet. Then there is no need to glue the pocket shut or use a lockdown and
you could build it up to print over the seam without a problem. I've done it many times.

Well I had a whole thing typed out and Doug B beat me to it. This works great too.....

That method also has the benefit  of centering on the pocket, rather than the shirt, it you wish (the two are rarely in the same place on two shirts in a row)
Only works if indeed, you don't need to jump the seam.

i was thinking 2 prints as well...using a leg pallet..

I just started doing a full front and pocket this morning and saw this thread.

[jason-23]

Thanks guys! I think I'll go for option 3, leg pallet. I can move the logo down to put on the pocket. If it was just the yellow i would be ok with just one screen but he needs black hoodies too so I'll need pfp yellow on black. Thanks again everybody, you guys are the best I dont care what spider says...joking!

What you don't like her grape crate bed. 
She has three of them. One outside in the back so she can command all she sees, one in the show room on the window sill for a afternoon sun tan and the one in the picture under the flash for those cold winter mornings.
