Screen Printing: A Reliable Method for Branding Uniforms and Promotional Items

Screen printing is a proven, traditional technique for branding uniforms and promotional goods. This method uses a stencil to push ink through a mesh screen directly onto the garment. Each colour in your logo or design requires a separate screen, making simple one-colour designs more cost-effective than multi-colour prints.

Screen printing works well on a variety of garments, including T-shirts, polo shirts, jackets, aprons, and bags. It dyes the fabric directly, resulting in a smooth finish without raised surfaces. Screen printing is also versatile, allowing for printing on hard surfaces like mugs, keyrings, mouse mats, coasters, and even flip-flops.

Key Considerations for Screen Printing:

• Ideal for large orders with a large print area.
• Suitable for branding on pockets and seams.
• Not as durable as embroidery for garments that are washed and worn regularly.
• Limited colour combinations.
• Can only be applied to flat surfaces.
• No set-up costs for designs.
