Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh screen onto a garment. A stencil controls where the ink is applied. Each colour uses a separate screen, so multiple screens create a multicolour design.
This familiar printing method works well for promotional apparel, retail products, gift shops, and touring merchandise. This TicTac design uses white and green ink on a sport grey T-shirt.
Puff printing uses an additive in plastisol ink that expands when heated, creating a raised finish. It works well for vintage-style crewnecks, contrasting pastel colours, and bold designs.
Transfers are a great option for products that are difficult to screen print directly, including bags, garments with seams, zippers or pockets, sporting goods, and safety workwear.
Screen printed patches can keep detailed logos clear and legible at smaller sizes. They suit designs with many colours and fine details for hats, toques, or garment labels.
