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 starts at $5.50 per piece at 100+ qty (1-piece runs from $9) and there are no setup fees at any quantity. For designs with three or more colors, screen printing usually beats DTF on price past about 24 pieces — below that we'll quote DTF automatically, often for less. See the full pricing table or get an instant estimate on the order page. Shipping is free on every order.
Screen print vs. DTF — which should you order?

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 order for screen printing?
No hard 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 $35 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.
