What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a method where ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto the garment, one colour at a time. Each colour in your design gets its own screen, and the ink is then cured with heat so it bonds into the fabric. The result is a vibrant, durable print with a clean, professional finish.
Because the screens are set up once and reused for every garment, screen printing becomes more cost-effective the more you order. That makes it the go-to choice for uniforms, merchandise and event wear in larger quantities.

Screen Printing FAQs
What is screen printing?
Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh screen onto fabric, one colour at a time, then heat-cures it. It creates bright, durable prints and is ideal for larger orders of the same design.
Is screen printing good for bulk orders?
Yes. Screens are set up once and reused for every garment, so the cost per item falls as the quantity increases. It is the most cost-effective method for larger runs.
How long does screen printing last?
Screen printed designs are among the most durable. The ink bonds into the fabric, and with the right care the print stays vibrant through many washes.
How many colours can you screen print?
We can print multi-colour designs, with each colour needing its own screen. Designs with fewer colours are more cost-effective. For photos or gradients, DTF printing is often a better fit.
What is the difference between screen printing and DTF?
Screen printing uses a separate screen for each colour and is most cost-effective in bulk. DTF prints full-colour designs onto film and suits detailed artwork and smaller orders.
Do you offer eco-friendly screen printing?
Yes. We offer water-based inks and organic fabric options for a more eco-friendly print.
How long does screen printing take?
Turnaround typically ranges from 3 to 7 business days, depending on order size and design. Same-day printing is available in London for urgent orders, so contact us early in the day.
What file format should I send?
Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF work best. High-resolution PNG files at 300 DPI are also accepted.
