What Is Screen Printing?

Screen printing pushes ink through a fine mesh screen onto the garment. Each color in your design gets its own screen, and the colors are printed one layer at a time. It takes some setup, but once the press is ready, each additional shirt goes quickly. That is why screen printing is a popular choice for larger quantities of the same design.

Why Choose Screen Printing for Bulk Orders?

  • Great for volume: it is efficient for larger runs of the same design.
  • Soft, durable prints: the ink soaks into the fabric for a comfortable feel that holds up wash after wash.
  • Bold, vibrant color: solid spot colors look clean and strong, especially on simple logos and text.
  • Consistent results: every shirt in the run looks the same, which is ideal for teams and uniforms.

Screen Printing vs DTF: Which One Do You Need?

Screen printing usually fits large runs of designs with a few colors. DTF (direct-to-film) usually fits smaller runs, many different designs, or full-color artwork with gradients and photos, because it prints every color at once with no per-color screens. Our guide on DTF vs screen printing vs HTV breaks down the differences in plain English.

If you want to press shirts yourself, you can skip the setup entirely and order full-color transfers on our Build a Gang Sheet page. Upload your designs, arrange them on a sheet, and check out online. Not sure which is right for your project? Call us and we will help you choose.
