Why Choose Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a time-tested method that delivers bold, vibrant prints with exceptional durability. It’s ideal for large runs, making it the go-to option for events, uniforms, and merch where consistency and longevity matter. Screen printing handles solid colours with ease and produces a crisp, professional finish - especially on cotton and other natural fabrics.
While setup costs are higher, the cost-per-unit drops significantly with bulk orders, making it perfect for businesses, schools, and clubs.
If you're looking for high-impact prints that last wash after wash, screen printing is a rock-solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (Screen Print)
What file types do you need?
We recommend vector files (AI, PDF, EPS, SVG) for best results. High-resolution PNGs (300dpi at print size) are also acceptable.
What’s the minimum order for screen printing?
Our minimum order is 30 units per design.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes. Each colour in your design requires its own screen setup ($50.00 / colour).
How many colours can you print?
We can screen print up to 6 colours per design. For more complex, full-colour images, we recommend DTF or DTG printing.
Can you print on any fabric?
Screen printing works best on cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, but we can assess other garment types if needed.
Do you keep screens for future reorders?
We keep screens for 14 days after your order is completed. After that, the screens are reclaimed for other projects and a new setup fee will apply.
How long does production take?
Turnaround is typically 2–3 weeks from artwork approval, depending on order size and complexity.
Can I reorder the same design?
Absolutely! If your design is saved in our system, reorders are quicker. Just note: if more than 14 days have passed, setup fees may apply again.
