Nets are used in a variety of applications, including sports, mainly for protection. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for manufacturing nets which are imprinted with text or graphics on one or both sides. These nets serve the dual purpose of protection and advertising, without requiring any sort of appurtenance. The nets typically comprise single or multiple pieces of netting, engineered to fit the application, and are made of nylon or polynylon woven into a mesh configuration without standard knots. The front and/or back surface area of the net is printable with graphic or text messages by way of digital printing, silk screen, air brush painting, roller painting, airless spray painting, aerosol spray painting, dyeing, and other methods. The nets are placed on a platen having paraffin or similar substance, and then the imprinting is made. The paraffin prohibits or impedes the imprinted material from getting unintentionally transferred to the opposite side of the net.
