The pocket platen is designed specifically to print on and or above the pocket by raising the area so that it is raised higher than the placket (button area) of a polo shirt and or the pockets seam to avoid a head strike. The Pocket platen is also a fixed area and by setting up your artwork with in the 3.5” by 6” area you can quickly set up your artwork to print.

 

The Pocket Platen is a special platen that clips to the right or top left edge of other GTX platens – including the Adult Platen, the Oversized Platen, the Youth Platen, and the Baby Platen. If you have the gripper kit attached to the front of the platen then this will prevent the pocket platen from being attached.  The Pocket Platen covers a rectangular area on the platen of 3.5” by 6” and raises that printable area by 2mm.  This allows you to lower your platen further to accommodate polo shirt buttons and pockets without losing the quality of a print in that area.  The pocket platen can also be helpful when used with the template as it will aid in showing where the print will fall on the platen.
