Screen printing is our passion, we love to do it and we do it perfect! With two automatic 8 colour presses and two 4 station manual carousells we have ample machinery for high throughput work.

Worried about a turn around time; well give us a heads up and we will confirm if we can make it happen for you prior to quoting. 

There is a lot more to it than applying your artwork to a garment, we have to make important decisions from artwork and films to screens and meshes but most importantly we have to select the inks we use to get the best results for your design. Each colour in your design require its own personal screen, screens are then layered up one after another to fit perfectly, thus producing your end design.

Screen printing is a low-cost method for printing big volumes. The printing process is fast and efficient, allowing for high-volume manufacturing at a cheap per-unit cost. This makes it a popular alternative for companies and organisations wishing to generate personalised products or promotional items in large quantities. Screen printing does need specialised equipment and experience, but with the correct tools and instruction, it is a reasonably simple procedure to learn and master. Anyone wishing to manufacture high-quality, custom-printed items should consider screen printing. Consider trying your hand at screen printing; you may become the next viral phenomenon!

  • Aside from the benefits already mentioned, there are other significant characteristics and advantages of screen printing that make it an appealing alternative for a wide range of projects:

  • Screen printing is versatile because it may be used to print on a number of materials, including fabrics, paper, plastics, and metal. As a result, it is a versatile solution for a variety of applications.

  • Screen printing creates long-lasting prints that are resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling. This makes it an excellent choice for printing on goods that will be used or worn on a regular basis.

  •  

  • Customizability: Screen printing allows you to easily produce bespoke designs and prints that are suited to the exact requirements of your project. Screen printing provides you a great degree of customization, whether you're printing a brand, a piece of artwork, or a one-of-a-kind pattern.

  • Cost-effectiveness: For printing big numbers of things, screen printing is a cost-effective choice. After the initial setup, the cost per unit drops dramatically, making it a popular alternative for enterprises and organisations.

  • Screen printing allows for the employment of numerous layers of ink, resulting in rich, brilliant colours that burst off the page or cloth.

  • Consistency: Screen printing consistently creates high-quality prints, ensuring that your finished product looks professional and polished.

  • Sustainability: Screen printing is now a more environmentally friendly printing choice because to the use of eco-friendly ingredients in many of the inks that are produced.

Screen printing can be quite complicated or hard to understand so check out some of the questions we have had before below or go to our FAQ’s to any other questions. 

What are Screen Charges? 

Every print shop charges for screens, but they are a one off cost. Because you pay for a screen charge it does not mean you own the actual screens, we do not release these. Screen charges are charged at a flat rate of £25 per colour, per size and design. This charge covers the set up and separation of your design from our artwork team to make sure that it is exactly the right size and position for print. It also covers the film, screen prep and machine set up. 

 

Do you charge for colour Changes?

 

Yes we do, with small orders we need to charge these fees as we have to remove the screens from the machine, wash and clean them down. Followed by drying and setting the machine up again as you can imagine this can take quite a while. We only charge a £15 fee with a minimum of 15 units per change so it’s not that bad right?One of the key advantages of screen printing is its ability to produce vibrant, long-lasting colours. Unlike other printing methods, screen printing allows for multiple layers of ink to be applied to the surface, creating rich, bold colours that won't fade or wash out over time. This makes it an ideal choice for printing on clothing, promotional products, and other items that need to withstand wear and tear.

 

Do you have minimum orders?

Printing all depends on the colours in your design, minimum orders are 20 pieces per design but we do have a colour break chart see below.  You can mix your minimum orders between different garments and you can have a mixture of sizes.

20+ Units = Maximum of 4 Screens

50+ Units = Maximum of 8 Screens

150+ Units = 8 Screens Plus


How long do you take?
Generally anywhere up to 14 working day is a normal turn around from approving your artwork, obviously if they are ready any sooner we will ship them immediately. Although when ordering in busy season please leave up to 18 workings days to receive your order. Turn around times are not set deadlines they are estimated times for completion therefore your stock could be with you much sooner or slightly after this estimated date. 

Can I see my design before placing an order?

We do not visualise orders before confirming and paying for the order. As you can appreciate it takes a lot of time and attention to visuals all artwork before it goes to a printing stage. Once you have confirmed and made payment on your order all artwork is passed over to our design team and they will visualise your order back to you for approval before anything goes to print.

***We need an approval directly to our design team before any production starts.

What size prints can I have?

Based on T-shirts see the maximum sizes and locations below, sizing will vary depending on the product and product size you choose, screens and prints are one size fits all.  Check out our comparisons page for other varations, we do have oversized screens but they are price and sizing on application. 

E.G if you have an Extra small Garment and a Triple Extra Large Garment the print can only go as large as a the Extra Small. Therefore it will look large on the Extra Small but on a Triple Extra Large it will look small in comparison to the garment size.
