If posters are our bread and butter, garment printing and design is the knife we cut and spread it with. Doing posters isn’t easy, but decorating garments is a bit more difficult due to the wide variety of materials, shapes, and sizes the designs and ink have to be manipulated into. It is for this reason when we can create a really great garment (with helpful detailed and dedicated client input!) that we are so stoked.
Here we have the Concert Chick T we put together with Denise owner of
Concert Chick. We visualized the design from great sketches Denise provided and began a very detailed and lengthy back and forth to develop the final design. What we ended up with is a 5 color front (with metallic copper foil), 5 color back, and single color interior tag print using soft water-based inks on a great Alternative Apparel top. These are some of the more complex and impressive shirts to come of our press, so keep checking in at
concertchick.com for details about when these are available to purchase! Thanks Denise!
