If you’re in search of the best choice for custom apparel for your business, team, or event, then look no further. Screen printing is the best method for customizing your apparel and bringing your vision to life. Let us explore screen printing and show why it remains unrivaled in its ability to outlast other methods of custom apparel decoration.
Screen printing involves creating a stencil on a mesh screen coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. A custom design is transferred to the screen through exposure to light, creating a stencil for printing. The screen, now burned with the stencil, is aligned on a printing press over a material such as fabric or paper. Ink is applied and spread across the stencil using a squeegee, transferring the design onto the material, which is then dried to ensure the permanence of the ink. It sounds a bit like magic, but it’s actually screen printing! Dive deeper into the process and how-to of screen printing in our Screen Printing 101 article.
Here are the many advantages of screen printing:
1. Cost-effective
The higher the quantity you order, the more budget-friendly screen-printed apparel becomes. This is especially good for organizations ordering employee apparel, team uniforms, or event merchandise. When you order bulk, the cost for each printed item goes down, making screen-printed clothes a cost-effective choice. Therefore, the more garments you order, the more budget-friendly the overall cost becomes.
2. Fast Turnaround
Because screen printing is best for bulk orders, printing the apparel is fast! Our facilities can churn out a massive number of garments per hour. Once you approve your design, we can start printing and finish your job at lightning speed. Typically our orders are fulfilled within 10 business days once art is approved.
3. Durability
Screen printing ensures long-lasting prints on all your apparel. Screen printing uses inks designed to resist fading when exposed to multiple washes and various elements. Screen printing is ideal for items like team jerseys, work uniforms, and event merchandise. Iron-on designs or direct-to-garment printed designs are not bonded to the fabric like screen-printed designs so they will fade quickly. Screen-printed apparel will last for years and your designs will retain their vibrant crisp colors.
4. Color Options
Screen printing inks come in an endless rainbow of color options, it’s easy to achieve vibrant colors with screen printing. Thick layers of ink penetrate the fabric creating crisp bold designs even on dark-colored apparel.
5. Texture and Effects Options
Specialty inks can be used to create a variety of effects and textures. Allow your design to stand out from the crowd with puff, glitter, metallic, or even glow-in-the-dark inks. It’s easy to create dimension and interest in your custom apparel with the versatility of screen printing.
6. Increased Brand Exposure
