Screen Printing

Screen Printing used to be the only alternative to embroidery and probably got the whole concept of modern day corporate clothing started. It has been around for over 50 years and is tried and tested.

It is very versatile and can print most colours onto most colour garments!

The big problem with screen printing is the setup charges. For every different colour in the design you want to print, you have to create a screen. This in turn costs something like £15 to £30 each screen!

So before you start paying for the printing you could easily have a bill for over £60.

This problem is diluted when you want to print large quantities of garments. To be cost effective, you need to be talking in terms of over 100 items. The unit printing cost is very low. But be  very careful when you get a quote because you could get a price for printing only, with the screen costs showing up on the bill when the job is done.

The resulting quality is usually high, though you will be aware of a texure where the printing has taken place.
