Screen Printing
What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a traditional apparel decoration method that uses individual screens for each ink color. Ink is pressed through the screen and cured into the fabric, producing durable, consistent prints at scale.
It is the industry standard for:
- Bulk production
- Simple, repeatable designs
- Long-term programs and reorders
Our Screen Printing Process
Production begins after artwork approval.
Artwork review and proofing
Screen setup and test prints
Production run
Curing, quality check, and packing
When Screen Printing Makes Sense
-
Orders of 24 pieces or more
-
Simple or limited-color designs
-
Projects that will be reordered
-
Programs where consistency matters
When to Consider Another Method
- Very small quantities
- Full-color or highly detailed artwork
- One-off or short-run projects
- Projects with frequent artwork changes
In these cases, DTF may be a better solution.
How Screen Printing Is Priced
Screen printing pricing is primarily based on:
- Quantity ordered
- Number of print locations
- Number of ink colors
- Garment type
As quantity increases, the price per shirt decreases because setup costs are spread across more pieces.
This is why screen printing is most efficient for larger runs.
