Screenprinting
Screen-printing
What Is It?
Screenprinting is a versatile and time-tested printing technique that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen onto a surface to create a design. It’s widely used for customizing apparel like t-shirts, hoodies, and tote bags, but it can also be applied to posters, signs, and various promotional products. Known for its durability and vibrant colors, screenprinting is especially effective for bold graphics and high-volume orders. Each color in a design is applied using a separate screen, making it ideal for simple, impactful artwork. Whether for businesses, events, or personal projects, screenprinting delivers a professional, long-lasting result.

How does your pricing work?
What you receive in a quote is what you will be charged!
For screenprint, cost depends on the quantity of items, the number of print locations, and the number of colors.
For embroidery, cost depends on the total quantity being sewn and the stitch count, which impacts how long the item runs on the machines. If your logo for embroidery has to be digitized, we will add in a one-time digitizing charge the first time and then hang on to your logo for any future use.
We are happy to work up a quote for you without sneaky setup or art fees, which are always included!
