Screen Printing Platens & Pallets: FAQ

What is the benefit of Aluminum Platens vs. Wood/Composite?
Aluminum Platens are the professional standard because they do not warp under the intense heat of a flash cure unit. They provide a perfectly flat, consistent surface for high-speed automatic production. Composite Platens are a durable, cost-effective alternative for manual printers and smaller production runs.

How do I choose the right Slip-Tube for my press?
It is critical to match the Slip-Tube Style to your specific press brand. Lawson offers Diamond, Rectangular, and specialized sliding hardware to ensure your pallets sit level and lock in securely for consistent registration on Lawson, Workhorse, and DCC presses.

Should I use Platen Tape or Adhesive?
To protect your equipment and speed up cleanup, we recommend using Screen Print Pallet & Platen Tape. Applying PalletGel Adhesive over the tape allows you to easily peel away lint and ink buildup without the mess of traditional spray adhesives.

Does Lawson offer custom platen sizes?
Yes. If you don't see the specific size you need among our Sleeve, Koozie, or Face Mask platens, we can manufacture Custom Vacuum Platens or specialized shapes to fit your unique printing requirements.
