Screen Printing

Screen printing

Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil to receive a desired image. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance.

Screen printing is best used for printing a Single or 2 Colour logo where the logo is large and where quantities are greater than 25 items. It is the most economical for larger prints and can be used in conjunction with embroidery.  It is quite a popular practice to place embroidery on the front left chest of a polo or t-shirt and a large screen print on the back.

This process of decorating is direct to garment and can be used on clothing, stubby holders, bags etc.   It is achieved by pressing special fabric ink through a fine mesh screen, leaving a colour imprint on the fabric’s surface.  High visibility at a low cost on large quantities!

The screen printing cost calculation is based on the quantity of items to be screen printed and the number of colours.  A screen setup charge applies for each production run.
