Sleeve Printing and Three-Side Printing Explained
Sleeve printing adds a second print location to your garment without a big jump in price. It works well for team uniforms where you want a sponsor logo on the sleeve alongside the main chest print. Three-side printing goes further, covering the front, back, and one or both sleeves. It sounds complex, but our setup process keeps the registration tight so every panel lines up the way it should.
These techniques are popular with sports teams and events where the garment needs to work hard as a walking advertisement. If you're ordering for a large group, three-side printing is often the most cost-effective way to pack in all the branding you need.
White Underbase Application for Dark Garments
Printing on black, navy, or any deep colour requires white underbase application as a first layer. Without it, the ink blends into the fabric and the colours look muddy. We apply the underbase, cure it, then print your colours on top. The result is bright and clean, even on the darkest blanks.
This is one area where working with a proper screen printing shop really makes a difference. A lot of online print services skip this step or charge extra without explaining why it matters. We build it into the quote from the start so there are no surprises.
Names and Numbers Printing for Teams
Getting a full squad's worth of names and numbers printing sorted can feel like a headache. We make it simple. Send us a spreadsheet with each player's name, number, and size, and we handle the rest. Each garment gets printed accurately before it's packed and labelled.
This service is popular with footy clubs, netball teams, and school sports days across Australia. Pair it with screen printing 1 colour for the club logo and you've got a complete uniform without paying boutique prices.
