Screen printing
Bold color.
Best price at volume.
Ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen onto the garment — one screen for each color. We run a ROQ automatic press with a 5-arm setup for fast, consistent bulk runs with bright, durable color.

Why we use it
When you're printing hundreds, nothing beats it.
For bulk runs with simple, bold designs, screen printing gives you the best price per shirt and the most durable print. Print in bulk for an event or a single order — or print in bulk and we'll store the stock in-house and ship it out to your customers as orders come in. For small runs or full-color artwork, we'll steer you to DTG or DTF instead.
