Wear Your Design…

Screen printing is a cost-effective printing technique that uses a mesh, typically made of synthetic materials such as Terylene or monofilament polyester, to transfer ink to a material. It is one of the most widely used printing methods for clothing manufacturers because it’s versatile and can reproduce vivid colors, even on dark-colored fabrics.

Artistic Imprints offers screen printing services for businesses across the US in need of custom apparel and promotional marketing items.

What Is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a popular printing method that uses a silk screen to print ink on a substrate. When decorating apparel, screen printing is ideal for use on cotton and cotton blends. However, it’s also suitable for other fabric types, such as silk, wool and synthetic fabrics.

The process works by mounting a mesh or screen on a frame or a pallet tape. A stencil is added to block parts of the screen, then a negative image of the design is printed on the open spaces of the substrate. Screen printing requires a pre-press process to prevent ink from leaking through the screen and staining the fabric.

Benefits of Screen Printing for Custom Apparel

Screen printing on clothing offers plenty of benefits to users, such as:

  • Print quality: Clothing screen printing uses thick layers of ink, allowing it to produce vivid colors, even on darker fabrics. It creates eye-catching designs that help make a brand stand out.
  • Cost-efficiency: Screen printing is ideal for bulk orders despite having higher setup costs than other printing techniques. Large-scale production reduces the cost per unit, making it an economical choice for brands.
  • Longevity: This technique produces durable prints that are resistant to fading, cracking and peeling compared to digital print designs.
  • Product consistency: Once the screens are prepared, screen printing delivers high-quality and accurately consistent designs, ideal for large-scale production.

At Artistic Imprints, we provide our customers with endless printing options. You can pick materials and specific brands of merchandise that fit your budget. If you prefer using branded clothing for custom apparel, like Nike or Carhartt, we can accommodate your request. Alternatively, it’s possible to work with a more cost effective brand if you prefer a more budget friendly option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Printing

Get answers to common questions about custom screen-printed apparel, bulk orders and choosing the right decoration method for your project.

You can get bulk screen-printed apparel from Artistic Imprints. We work with businesses, teams, schools, events and organizations nationwide. With over 20 years of experience, our team can help you choose apparel, colors and printing options that fit your brand, budget and timeline.

Screen printing and embroidery both create durable custom apparel, but they work best for different projects. Screen printing is a strong choice for bold graphics, event shirts, team apparel and promotional pieces. Embroidery thread adds a raised, professional look that works well for polos, jackets, hats and branded workwear.

  • Cost: Screen printing is often a better value for higher-volume apparel orders, especially with simpler designs. Stitch count usually determines embroidery pricing, so detailed logos or large designs can cost more.
  • Durability: Both options are made to last. Screen printing works well for colorful artwork, while embroidery uses thread to create a textured design that does not fade or peel.

Artistic Imprints can help you compare both methods and choose the right fit for your apparel, design and budget.

The final cost of screen printing depends on order quantity, apparel type, number of ink colors, print locations and design needs. Larger orders often have a lower per-item cost because setup is spread across more items. Item choice can also affect pricing, whether you want premium brands, budget-friendly options or a mix of products. Artistic Imprints can help you choose an approach that fits your goals, timeline and budget.

Minimum order requirements can differ based on the apparel type, artwork and project details. Screen printing is usually best suited for larger orders because each design and ink color requires setup. If you are unsure whether your order size is a good fit, Artistic Imprints can review your project and recommend the most practical option for your budget and timeline.
