Neck gaiter face coverings
« on: July 01, 2020, 09:46:14 PM »
***I'm taking orders now. These are available in white and gray/silver with the image of your choice printed onto them.***

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.

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.

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.

I checked and the manufacturer doesn't specifically state that these are UV rated, so I assume that they aren't.

$10 printed with whatever image you’d like.

Only if you promise to take a picture while wearing it and use that as your avatar.  :chuckle:
