What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a garment decoration method where ink is pushed through a prepared mesh screen onto the fabric. Each colour in the design is usually printed through a separate screen, allowing for sharp detail, strong colour coverage and a durable finish.
It works best for logos, text, bold graphics, simple illustrations and repeat designs. For full-colour artwork, gradients, photos or smaller runs, another print method such as DTF or DTG may be more suitable.

What Is Screen Printing Best For?
Screen printing is best for designs that need to be bold, durable and consistent across multiple items.
It’s a strong choice for larger runs of shirts, uniforms and merchandise, especially when your artwork uses clean lines, solid colours, logos or simple graphics.
If your design is highly detailed, full-colour or needed in a smaller quantity, our team can recommend whether screen printing, DTF, DTG or embroidery will give you the best result.

Is Screen Printing the Right Method for Your Design?
Screen printing is a great choice for bulk orders, bold logos, solid colours and long-lasting prints.
However, it is not always the best option for every design or product. If your artwork is full-colour, highly detailed, needed in a small run or better suited to a stitched finish, another decoration method may be more suitable.

How Custom Screen Printing Works
1. We Prepare Your Artwork
Our team reviews your design and prepares it for printing. Each colour in your artwork is separated to ensure the final result is sharp, clean and accurate.
2. We Create the Screens
A custom screen is created for each colour in your design. These screens work like stencils, allowing the ink to pass through only where needed.
3. We Set Up Your Garments
Your t-shirts, uniforms or apparel are carefully loaded onto the printing press to ensure consistent placement across every item.
4. We Print Each Colour
Ink is pressed through the screens onto the garment one colour at a time. This process creates vibrant, high-quality prints with strong colour coverage.
5. We Cure the Ink
Once printed, the garments are heated to cure the ink. This step helps create a durable print that lasts through repeated wear and washing.
6. We Quality Check Every Order
Each garment is checked for print quality, placement and consistency before it leaves our production floor.
7. We Pack and Deliver
Once approved, your order is carefully packed and prepared for pickup or delivery.

Screen Printing FAQs
Is screen printing good for t-shirts?
Yes. Screen printing is one of the best methods for custom t-shirts, especially when you are ordering a larger quantity with the same design. It creates bold, durable prints and works well for logos, text and simple artwork.
What is the minimum order for screen printing?
Minimums can depend on the garment, artwork, number of colours and print location. If your order is better suited to another method, such as DTF or DTG, our team will recommend the best option.
Is screen printing better for bulk orders?
Yes. Screen printing is usually strongest for bulk orders because the setup process becomes more efficient when the same design is printed across multiple garments.
Can you screen print full-colour designs?
Sometimes, but screen printing is usually best for solid colours, bold graphics and clean artwork. If your design has gradients, photographs or lots of colour detail, DTF or DTG printing may be more suitable.
