How it works
Quality custom screen printing is the result of many different people and processes working together to create an exceptional final product. But it all starts with your vision. Let’s dive into how it works.
1. Finding your blank
We work with all of the major blank apparel brands to ensure you have limitless options, but to help you narrow it down, we categorize our bestselling products into Good, Better, and Best.
Browse our catalogs or reach out to us and one our Account Managers will be happy to make suggestions that best fit your needs.
Pro tip: In most cases, there is no additional cost to use multiple garments in a single print run. Use this method to help reach better price breaks. For example, order 24 hoodies and 24 t-shirts with the same design to receive 48pc pricing on everything.
2. Adding your art
With the perfect blank garments selected, it’s time to add your design. Every file you send receives an expert art review to ensure the best quality prints.
Our in-house designers will provide mock-ups for approval so there is no confusion about how the final product will look. They are also standing by if you need help creating new designs for your print project.
Print pricing is based on how many colors are in your design & how many locations you will be printing so keep this in mind when designing.
3. Optional finishing & add-on’s
Before we hit the presses, there are a few options available to take your project to the next level.
Most projects receive plastisol ink by default, which is the industry standard. Plastisol ink sits on top of the shirt and provides the boldest color and best color correctness. For a a more vintage look or soft hand-feel you might consider upgrading to waterbased or discharge inks. There are also specialty finishes such as puff ink, foil, or glow in the dark.
Additionally, our finishing options will help take any print project up a notch. Private labeling your garments and adding custom woven hem tags will make them retail ready while polybagging can give them an extra wow-factor that your customers won’t forget.
Finishing options will add additional production days to your order so be sure to factor this into your timeline.
4. Let’s print!
This is where the magic happens. Films are produced, screens are burned, inks are mixed, garments are counted, and the presses are registered. Every piece is printed individually and inspected for flaws before being packed and handed off to be shipped or picked up.
