Screen Printing
The classic choice for vibrant, durable designs
Screen printing is the workhorse of custom apparel. Each color in your design becomes a stencil pressed through fine mesh, laying down thick, opaque ink that fuses with the fabric for decades of wear. It is the most cost-effective method for medium and large runs, and the result is what people picture when they think of a real printed t-shirt.
