But be careful here, Jersey has the tendency to curl up on the edge, which is terrible to place the small panel on the palette. There are some techniques, to avoid curling edges. By spraying starch on it or other efforts exist. To prevent this curling of the edge. Be aware of it, as this will slow down your production, just by having a hard time placing this face mask panel to the palette.
The other option is, to print on the finished mask. What could lead to buying a special palette for your screen printing machine? This is properly the easiest solution, but be aware, how the mask is.

Not a good idea this way. Better assure, that the print area, is free from any stitching seems.
