Pallet Zipper Channel

Zipper hoodies are notorious for uneven prints because the raised zipper throws off pressure and ink coverage. A simple solution is cutting neoprene to fit your pallet and carving a recessed channel down the center. 


This lets the zipper sink in while the rest of the garment stays flat, producing smoother, higher-quality prints. It’s a low-cost adjustment that eliminates common flaws on zip-up jobs.
