Screen Printing is our most popular printing technique. The popularity is partly due to the durability, and also the speed at which it can be produced, not forgetting the fantastic value for money. Screen printing involves images being printing onto acetate paper, and then burned out a mesh screen. We can use almost all our garments for this technique, including screen printed t-shirts, screen printed sweatshirts and screen printed polo shirts. We also provide screen printed tote bags, which can be a great cost effective branding product for you and your brand. We also provide screen printing transfer, which has the durability of screen printing, but flexibility of transfer printing. This means it can be placed in unusual places, which is common in our workwear range. For every colour that is printed onto the garment, we need to create an individual screen which can take up to 45 minutes per screen. The ink is mixed according to the Pantone Matching System which allows for a universal matching of printed colours, so if your brand needs an particular pantone colour (which is essential for larger brands), please let us know and we can print using that exact colour. For screen printing, artwork is best provided as a vector image (.ai, .eps or vectored PDF) which allows us scale the artwork to whatever width is required. Screen printing is recommended from 20 units upwards, and with scale, the more you order the cheaper the unit price will become for the order. This is due to the initial set up cost when creating the screens. As well as standard plastisol ink screen printing (the most common used ink), we also offer some specialist inks, of which more details can be found below, including water based ink and the increasingly popular glow in the dark ink.
