What is the Process of Screen Printing?

Screen printing involves applying UV inks directly onto a product's surface by pushing ink through a fine mesh screen using a squeegee. This method typically prints one colour at a time, making it ideal for logos with a single colour. If your design has multiple colours, additional screens are used, and pricing depends on the number of colours printed. There are two main types of screen printing: Flatbed, which is great for t-shirts and tote bags, and Rotary, which works best for cylindrical items like drink bottles.

Advantages
  • Versatile Print Areas: Can print on both flat and cylindrical products.
  • Perfect for Bold Designs: Best for large, solid blocks of colour.
  • Colour Matching: PMS colours can be matched on white or light products.
  • Fast Drying: Inks dry quickly, allowing for fast turnaround and shipping.
  • Metallic Inks Available: Gold and silver inks can be used on request.
Limitations
  • Not Suitable for Fine Detail: Struggles with intricate designs or half-tones.
  • No Personalisation: Variable data, like names or numbers, can’t be printed.
  • Colour Matching on Dark Items: Close PMS matches may not show well on dark products.
  • Setup Cost per Colour: Each colour incurs an additional setup fee.
Artwork Requirements
  • Format: Vector artwork (EPS, Ai, or PDF) is needed.
