When screen print is the right call.

Choose screen print when quantity is on your side and the artwork uses solid colours: event and giveaway tees, team hoodies, uniform tees and merch runs. Each colour in the design is applied through its own screen, so unit cost drops fast as quantity climbs, and the ink sits bold and opaque even on dark garments.

Because each colour needs its own screen setup, small runs with many colours cost more per unit. That is where DTG takes over. Send us the artwork and the quantity and we will quote both methods so you can compare directly.

Artwork that prints well.

Vector artwork with defined spot colours prints best: logos, typography, flat illustration. We supply a press-ready proof showing print position and Pantone-matched colours before anything runs. If your file is not print-ready we will tell you straight and sort it, usually without drama.

Method questions

What buyers ask about screen printing.

What is the minimum order for screen printed apparel?
Screen printed apparel typically starts at 25 units, and the per-unit price improves quickly from 50 units up because the screen setup is spread across the run.
How many colours can you screen print?
1 to 4 spot colours is the sweet spot. Each colour adds a screen and a setup cost. Full-colour or photographic artwork is usually better as DTG on smaller runs.
How durable is screen print?
Very. Properly cured plastisol or water-based ink outlasts dozens of wash cycles. We will recommend the ink system that suits the garment fabric and your artwork.
