I'm looking to see how many people would be interested in custom printed neck gaiter face coverings. The coverings are 85% polyester and 15% lycra. These would be sublimation printed, so that means I can do a full photo quality image on a white gaiter. Sublimation printing isn't ink on the fabric like a screen print, but actually dying the fabric so that the image doesn't wash off or change the "feel" of the fabric. Also unlike screen printing, each print can be unique and I don't have to make a batch of similar designs. You can pick just about any image, but I have a max print size of about 8"x10.5". This is one that I made for a buddy as a joke. Image is a little washed out because it's printed on a silver fabric, but you'll get the idea.

I know the face coverings are a hot topic, but many folks (like myself) are required to wear them at times while working and I thought this would be a way to have some fun with it. The printed gaiters would be $10 each plus a few dollars for shipping. The minimum order for the blanks is pretty high, but if I can get enough interest I'll order them.

Could we send you a pic to put on them?
Lots of interest.
Lots of potential.

Yes, absolutely. That’s the cool thing about sublimation prints, they just get printed one at a time with a sublimation printer, so it’s the same time/material cost to print 100 of the same design or 100 individual styles. And there’s very few limitations on the images that can be printed.

Because white and I don't get along :chuckle: After a day of wearing this in the desert it would be brown :yike:

That's racist! :chuckle:
I'll order some of the grey/silver style too. Just remember that the image washes a bit out on darker colors. The trick is that I can't sublimate the color white, so anything that would be white in the image will show up the color of the mask.
are these like the UV rated ones? I'd be interested since I could use on the water as well..
I checked and the manufacturer doesn't specifically state that these are UV rated, so I assume that they aren't.

What will the cost be a SWAG is fine. I`m thinking about 6-12.
$10 printed with whatever image you’d like.
Can I get a white one with this on it?
Only if you promise to take a picture while wearing it and use that as your avatar. :chuckle:

You can do any image? That is cool, where are they made?
Yes, any image. Sublimation is a pretty cool process; it's the same process used to make mugs, photo tiles, and stuff like that. It only works on polyester fabric and specially coated sublimation blanks though, so it does have limitations.
I can't find specific info from the vendor about where the blanks are made, but I assume China. I'll let you know when the blanks show up.

The price will be $10 each plus $3 to ship them. If you want a couple of them I'll figure out how many I can stuff into a small flat rate box. If anyone wants more than 10, let me know and we can work a deal on the pricing.
Here are two more of the masks I've made so far just to give you some ideas. These were both shirt designs that I made for myself to wear at work. :chuckle:

Hey Yorke,I dont think they have ear hangers. I do believe they are neck gaiters like you would wear hunting but I am not 100% sure

They don't have ear hangers, they're a gaiter like emac and Jolten said. Jolten's avatar pic is what they'll look like when you wear it. :chuckle:

Sorry, for the delay huntnfmly. I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks wadu1 and Jolten.
I'd say the neck gaiters are a hit.
