Why is the inside of my shirt sticky?Updated a year ago

No need to worry! It’s normal and will be gone after your first wash.

The most important thing in screen printing is making sure that your garment doesn’t move during the printing process. To recreate your masterpiece onto apparel, we need to ensure that the garment is stable on a flat surface, so each layer of ink is lined up perfectly when it is pushed through the screen.

And to make sure that your shirt stays put, we apply a water-based adhesive to our platens.

Please note that it is more common to find that “sticky” feeling on the inside of fleece or outerwear.

Unfortunately, we have to use a stronger adhesive to keep them in place during the printing process.
