Screen Printing
Our Most Popular Technique
Screenprinting is what comes to mind for most people when they think of custom tee shirts or apparel.
It’s a highly versatile technique that can be adapted to most project needs, and it’s our default recommendation unless a customer has a specific technique in mind or has a design with many colors.
Is Screenprinting the Right Choice?
Let's compare pros and cons for the popular printing process:
Pros of Screenprinting
Cost-effective at scale
Can be applied to many print locations
Compatible with most materials
Cons of Screenprinting
Expensive for very small runs (under a dozen units)
Limited to 4-5 colors max for small runs, though larger runs (48+ units) can go up to 7 colors
Can’t be used on a handful of less common materials
It's worth mentioning that there are techniques to get around some of the limitations of screenprinting for smaller runs, like using halftones to diffuse and mix colors.
