Pocket Pallets

[inkman996]

Zoo having 4 up has actually allowed us to increase our print speed dramatically. When we took on  a massive order that required on pocket printing we decided to try to get the fastest possible set up going, initially we didn't know if loading and printing 4 on one palette would make a difference but it actually does. My loader can load 4 index then load 4 more much faster than load one index then load another. I think anything between 3' and 4' is best fine for just about anything out there, but in our case we needed smaller because these are custom made shirts with the smallest pocket I have ever seen.

Brandt, don't get the 3, you will be sorry!  4 is what you need!

No kidding, I'll reevaluate that Thx!

We use the action pallets without the rubber top. They are 3.5 wide. We print 10's of thousands of comfort colors a year.  They are tighter than a gildan pocket and will not fit easily on a 4 inch pallet.  So it will depend greatly if you expand out to more than a standard pocket.  We use one up and can index as fast or faster than a full shirt.  I don't know how you could keep the flashes at temp if you did multiples.

I got a quote for pallets from Action that are different widths on each end so you can turn them around.
I am not sure how other machines work but with the MHM if you make the pallet shorter than a shirt pallet and position the pins correctly you can turn the pallets around.
I think sleeve pallets should be shorter than than shirt pallets, with a T shirt you have an area from the neck to the print of at least 3", with sleeves you want to be able to print close to the edge.
I can post a sketch if anyone is interested.
