Clean Printing Over Zippers
The Zipper Hoodie Easement Pallet (ZHP) was
developed to improve the quality of printing over zipper
and hem assemblies. The new design improvements
include a load side geometry that perfectly matches the
hood and shoulder seam. This improved geometry allows
you to very accurately load your zippered hoodie
garment and enables you to print all the way up to the
shoulder seam and the hoodie/neck seam.
The solid aluminum and rubber pallet has a slot
machined down its center to allow the zipper to drop
down to the perfect position for printing.
Why Do You Need a ZHP?
The challenge with printing zipper hoodies is that the
zipper rises off of the pallet. It messes up your print, and,
over time, destroys your screens. In order to print
cleanly, you need your zippers to drop into a slot so that
they rest at the same height as your print surface.
We have carefully measured many samples of the
hoodies and optimized their slot geometry, creating a
two-tiered slot for your zipper to drop into.
If you're trying to accomplish an absolutely flawless
over-the-zipper print, then this design is a must.
• Purpose: To accomplish a continuous print across the
zipper and hem assembly of a finished hooded sweat
jacket - aka - zipper hoodies.
• Fits all zipper hem assemblies.
• Made of solid aluminum & Soft Top Rubber. (Hopkins)
• One tier is easement for the zipper hem, and then a
deeper easement for the zipper.
