Screen Printing

Screen printing is the most economical option for garment decoration, particularly for larger designs with multiple colors. It is commonly used on T-shirts, bags, towels, and other flat-surface products. Each color in the design requires a separate screen. For light colors printed on dark fabrics, a base coat or underlay is applied to prevent the garment’s color from bleeding through.

We proudly partner with the Building Lives Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps homeless veterans transition to permanent, independent living, for our screen printing services. By working with us, you not only receive quality prints but also contribute to a meaningful cause. For more information on Building Lives, please visit www.wearebuildinglives.org.

Screen printing can also be integrated into your uniform management program, making it a versatile option for both uniforms and promotional products. However, for smaller items, printing is typically limited to one or two colors.

Screen printing setup costs are charged per color, per location. Typically, setup fees are $40 per color for apparel. The application cost is based on the number of colors in the design and the quantity of items being printed. Contact us for a detailed quote.

We require high-resolution, camera-ready artwork for screen printing. Vector files in formats such as Adobe .ai or .eps work best, as they scale easily. We can also work with .jpg, .tiff, or .psd files, provided they are at least 150 dpi at the desired size or larger.

It’s important to note that increasing the resolution of a low-resolution file doesn’t improve its print quality. If your design doesn’t look good when printed on a standard home printer at the desired size, it’s unlikely to print well during screen printing either.

If you don’t have a suitable file, we can professionally re-draw your artwork in vector format. This service typically costs between $40 and $100, and we will provide you with a copy of the re-drawn file for future use.

Our standard turnaround time for screen printing is approximately two weeks. We always strive to meet your deadlines while ensuring high-quality results.
