Over-the-Zipper Printing
Get to know over-the-zipper printing.
Due to these crevices created by the seam around the zipper, the ink will not be distributed perfectly even as the squeegee runs down the garment, and small print imperfections are to be expected when printing over a seam or zipper.
Because some print imperfections are to be expected, we always recommend designing the T-shirt or zip-up hoodie with a distressed pattern to achieve a more consistent overall look. When printing over-the-zipper, avoid fine details like color blending or intricate designs.
