WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?

Screen printing pushes ink through a fine mesh screen, one screen for each colour, straight onto the garment. It lays down a thick, vivid layer that is hard wearing and holds up wash after wash, which is why it is the classic choice for bold, punchy designs. Because there is a setup step to make the screens, it really shines on larger runs, where the cost per piece keeps dropping the more you print. For one or two strong colours across a team kit, an event or a merch drop, nothing beats it.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Send your artwork
Vector files are ideal. We separate your design into spot colours.
2. We setup the screens
One screen is made for each colour in your design.
3. We print and cure
Ink is pulled through each screen, then heat cured to lock it in.
4. Pick up or we ship
Collect in St Peters or we post it to you.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Screen printing has a setup step to make the screens, so it works best from 26 pieces. For smaller runs, DTG or DTF is usually the better and faster option, and we are happy to point you the right way.

Screen printing is built for bold spot colours, usually one to ten per design. If your artwork is full colour or photographic, we will suggest a digital method instead.

Vector files (AI, EPS or PDF) are ideal so we can separate the colours cleanly. Send what you have and we will get it press ready.
