What is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a process where ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto fabric using a stencil, creating a clean and durable design.
Each color in the design is applied separately, allowing for vibrant, layered prints that stand out on garments.

Screen printing is the go-to option for many custom apparel projects because of its durability and efficiency.
- Cost-effective for large orders
- Vibrant, long-lasting colors

Because the ink bonds to the fabric, properly printed designs resist fading and wear over time.
