How screen printing works
Screen printing pushes plastisol ink through a fine mesh stencil — one screen per color — directly onto the fabric, then cures it at high heat so the ink bonds into the fibers. Because the ink becomes part of the garment rather than a surface layer, screen prints are famously vibrant and famously durable. A properly cured screen print should last the life of the shirt.
The tradeoff: each color needs its own screen, and most printers pass that setup cost to you as high minimums or per-color upcharges. We don't charge setup fees, and we keep small-order pricing fair — even a 12-piece team order is worth doing right.
What screen printing is best for
Solid-color logos
Sharp edges, opaque coverage, and a vibrancy DTF can't quite match on bold designs.
Team & event orders
Soccer teams, charity runs, company picnics — the bread and butter of screen printing.
Brand apparel
Restaurant staff shirts, gym branding, small-business merch — looks more "real" than a transfer.
Heavy-use workwear
Construction, landscaping, warehouse — survives industrial laundering better than any method.
Reorders
We keep your screens on file. Reorders skip setup and ship faster than the original.
Specialty effects
Puff ink, metallic, glow-in-the-dark, water-based discharge — only possible with screens, and quoted per order.
Pricing
Screen printing runs $20 per piece for 1–5 pieces down to $7 per piece at 250+ ($8 at 100–249) on a Gildan 5000, and there are no setup fees at any quantity. Screen print and DTF cost the same per piece, and full color costs the same as one color, so we pick the method that looks best for your art.

Screen print vs. DTF — which should you order?
Screen printing wins for solid-color logos at 24+ pieces. DTF wins for full-color art, photos, gradients, and small quantities. The price is the same either way — not sure? Send your art and we'll recommend one on your proof. Full breakdown: Screen Printing vs. DTF — Complete 2026 Comparison.
Artwork requirements
- Vector files preferred (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) — they scale cleanly and separate easily by color
- High-res raster accepted (300 DPI at print size) if vector isn't available
- Color count doesn't change the price — full color costs the same as one color
- No print-ready art? We'll review what you have — see our artwork guide
FAQ
Is there a minimum quantity for screen printing?
No quantity minimum — we don't require 12, 24, or 48 pieces. Our only rule is a $20 order minimum. Screen printing is the classic for solid-color logos at 24+ pieces; below that we often print DTF instead — same logo, same per-piece price.
Do you charge setup or screen fees?
No. Per-piece pricing covers production, with no per-color charge. The only optional charge is rush production — a flat $50 for 2-day turnaround. Specialty inks (puff, metallic, glow) are quoted per order.
How long does a screen print last?
A properly cured print outlasts the shirt. Wash cold, inside out, skip bleach, and tumble low.
How many colors can I have?
Up to 6 spot colors on our presses. Color count doesn't change your price; for art with more colors, gradients or photos we print DTF instead, at the same per-piece price.
Will you keep my screens for reorders?
Yes. Reorders skip setup time and typically ship a day or two faster than the original.
