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.
Pricing
Screen printing runs $20 per piece for 1–5 pieces down to $7 per piece at 250+ ($8 at 100+) and there are no setup fees at any quantity.

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
- Keep designs under 4 colors when possible for the best per-piece price
- 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. Practically, screen printing makes the most economic sense at 24+ pieces; below that we usually recommend DTF — same logo, often a lower total.
Do you charge setup or screen fees?
No. Per-piece pricing covers production. The only conditional fee is rush production — flat $50 for 2-day turnaround.
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 on our equipment, but past 4 colors the math tips toward DTF — we'll quote both so you can pick.
Will you keep my screens for reorders?
Yes. Reorders skip setup time and typically ship a day or two faster than the original.
