Screen Printing

A cost-effective way to decorate apparel for events, teams, and larger runs, well suited to full-color or detailed designs on t-shirts and similar garments.

Event & team apparel use cases

Event T-Shirts

A common, cost-effective choice for conferences, races, and company outings.

Team Apparel

Matching shirts for a department, event staff, or sports team.

Larger Runs

Per-unit cost typically improves as quantity increases.

Full-Color Designs

Better suited to detailed, multi-color artwork than embroidery.

Artwork & garment considerations

  • Fewer distinct colors generally means less setup and lower cost
  • High-contrast, simplified artwork tends to print more cleanly than fine detail
  • Flat, stable fabrics (cotton tees, totes) print more predictably than stretchy or heavily textured material

Frequently Asked Questions

When does screen printing make more sense than embroidery?

Screen printing suits larger, more detailed, or full-color designs, and tends to be more cost-effective at higher quantities: event t-shirts, team apparel, and one-off runs are common fits. Embroidery tends to suit smaller logos on uniform-style apparel that gets worn repeatedly. See our Embroidery page for that side of the comparison.

What should I know about artwork and colors for screen printing?

Screen printing uses a separate screen per color, so more colors generally means more setup. Simpler, high-contrast artwork with fewer distinct colors is typically faster and more economical to produce than a photo-realistic, many-color design.

What garments work best for screen printing?

Cotton and cotton-blend t-shirts are the classic fit, but the method also works on hoodies, tote bags, and other flat, stable fabric surfaces. Very stretchy or textured fabrics can be harder to print cleanly.
