The apparel industry is a highly competitive market. Brands often differentiate from each other though unique fabrics, colors, and designs. One of the most and versatile way of standing out is through the various ways art is printed on the styles.

Nearly from the dawn of time, people have desired to bring color and design to textiles. To separate themselves from other cultures and to set themselves distinct, ancient cultures used color and design. To the textile sector, printing has brought a fresh perspective and diversification.

There are numerous fabric printing methods, each of which produces a unique outcome. The type of textile printing utilized is frequently determined by a variety of factors, ranging from print runs to durability.

Being the prominent Clothing Manufacturer in India, Aryan Apparels employs a variety of printing techniques to improve the uniqueness of the material. Stay with us, as we dissect various types of fabric printing. This allows you to instantly determine which printing technique best suits your business’s identity.

Rotary Screen Printing

Rotary screen printing is a continuous printing method that uses a punctured cylindrical screen to apply a colorant made of pigment or dye. The colorant is pressed from the cylindrical screen’s inside onto the fabric. On a commercial scale, we can produce high-quality printed material using Rotary Screen Printing technology.

With this method, you may get continuous all over printing (AOP) of complicated designs all over the fabric. We can print graphics in up to 12 different colors.

We can produce many sorts of Rotary prints utilizing various inks such as water-based pigment and non-PVC inks.

These printing method are suitable for both natural and synthetic textiles.

Printing with Water-Based Non PVC Inks

Water-based inks represent the future of printing in terms of sustainability. We can print patterns with non-PVC water-based inks that are free of hazardous phthalates and other harmful substances. They could be pigment or dye-based.   They are far more environmentally friendly than traditional inks.

Water-based inks can be used for discharge printing to generate patterns on fabrics and garments composed of organic fibers or tri-blends. These prints give the fabric a charming vintage vibe.

This printing technique is suitable for both Rotary Screen AOP and Placement prints on T-shirts and other clothing.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is considered the next generation of printing, as opposed to traditional fabric printing. With fabric printing going digital, many textile entrepreneurs are investing in digital printing technology, as it is the most promising printing method. Digital printing is also an excellent choice for printing detailed designs. This technique can be used to print on fabrics as well as directly on clothes such as t-shirts, shirts, and trousers. This printing technology does not require screens and has no color restrictions.

Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing is a permanent printing procedure for polyester or polyester blends, which are synthetic materials that are typically light in color. It begins with printing on a special sheet of paper and then transfers the image to another material. We can accomplish this for both AOP and placement printing.

The prints are vibrant, high-resolution, and smooth, as well as washable. As a result, there is no danger of the prints being scraped or scratched.

Embossed Printing

Embossing is a procedure that uses heat and pressure to generate images and patterns on the surface of a product. It is a simple and elegant process that changes the appearance of the material on which it is conducted. Cotton, leather and pleather, polyester, velvet, and fleece are just a few of the fabrics that can be embossed with designs, patterns, or text. This method is highly recommended for a more classy and elegant finish.

Embroidery Printing

Embroidered apparel has a pattern or emblem embroidered into the fabric. Embroidery on clothing is long lasting and sturdy. It may be more expensive than standard printing, but the permanence makes it more cost effective. Avoid excessive gradients and complex color palettes for the best results. We recommend embroidery for branding and smaller to medium sized designs.
