For bulk orders and solid graphics, screen printing is the best choice

In the screen printing method, the ink is pushed through a woven or mesh screen and onto the fabric. The ink doesn’t soak into the fabric, but instead lays on top of it.

Screen printing requires a different type of set up because a screen (think of it like a stencil) is made for each color of your design. The colors of the design are then layered on the garment like a puzzle. This is why a more detailed design takes longer and feels thicker; it has more layers.

The setup time means screen printing is best for bulk orders. It’s simply not cost effective to spend hours creating a screen for a couple of T-shirts.

Screen printed garments – when properly cared for – are durable, and the designs are long lasting. [Pro tip: turn them inside out before washing and don’t wash them in hot water.]
