We work with customers who require both smaller production runs and high-volume screen printing, helping you choose the right garment, ink, colours, and printing method for your project.
What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing, also known as silk screen printing, is a traditional garment printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto fabric.
A stencil is created for the artwork, and ink is pushed through the open areas of the screen onto the garment. Each colour in a design is generally printed using a separate screen, allowing the ink to build up to create a bold, vibrant print.
Once printed, the garment is cured to ensure the ink bonds properly with the fabric.
Screen printing is known for producing strong, vibrant prints that can withstand regular wear and washing, making it an excellent choice for clothing that is used frequently.
Why Choose Screen Printing?
Screen printing remains a popular choice for businesses and organisations because of its durability, consistency, and cost-effectiveness, particularly for larger quantities.
Durable Garment Printing
One of the biggest advantages of screen printing is its durability. Professional screen-printed garments can withstand repeated washing and regular use when properly printed and cared for.
This makes screen printing particularly suitable for:
- Work uniforms
- School clothing
- Sportswear
- Promotional T-shirts
- Event clothing
- Corporate apparel
- Clothing brands
Vibrant and Bold Colours
Screen printing produces strong, opaque colours that stand out on garments. It is particularly effective for bold logos, typography, illustrations, and graphic designs.
We use quality inks and carefully controlled printing processes to produce consistent colours across your order.
Cost-Effective for Bulk Orders
Screen printing becomes increasingly cost-effective as order quantities increase. Once the screens have been prepared, the same design can be reproduced efficiently across hundreds or even thousands of garments.
This makes it an excellent option for businesses, schools, events, sports teams, and clothing brands placing larger orders.
Our Screen Printing Process
We use a professional production process to ensure that your garments receive clean, consistent, and durable prints.
Artwork Preparation
We begin by reviewing your artwork to ensure it is suitable for screen printing. Artwork may need to be separated into individual colours before production.
If your artwork requires adjustments, our team can help prepare it for printing.
Screen Preparation
A separate screen is prepared for each colour in the design. The artwork is transferred onto the screen to create the stencil used during printing.
Garment Setup
Your garments are carefully positioned on the printing equipment to ensure the design is placed correctly and consistently.
Ink Application
Ink is pushed through the prepared screen and onto the garment. Each colour is applied individually to create the final design.
Curing
After printing, the garments are cured using appropriate heat to ensure the ink properly bonds with the fabric.
Quality Control
Every order is checked for print alignment, colour consistency, coverage, and overall quality before it is packaged.

Screen Printing vs DTF Printing
Both screen printing and DTF printing are excellent garment decoration methods, but they are suited to different applications.
Screen printing is often the preferred option for larger quantities, bold designs, and projects where durability and cost per garment are important.
DTF printing is generally more flexible for smaller quantities, highly detailed artwork, and designs containing many colours.
If you’re unsure which method is right for your project, our team can recommend the best option based on your artwork, garment type, quantity, and budget.
