SCREEN PRINTING

BETTER VALUE WITH QUANTITY

Screen Printing is best for your budget if you want to print a lot of items with just 1 or 2 colors.  If you are custom printing 1 color on 100 shirts or more, Screen Printing (or Silk Screen Printing) is usually the most affordable option. Screen Printing allows for commercially mixed PMS color matches and specialty inks like glitter, metallics, glow and puff. Screen Printing with plastisol ink typically has a slightly raised touch on garments.

DIRECT TO FILM

BETTER FOR MULTICOLOR

Direct to Film Printing is most cost effective when printing under 25 pieces or printing artwork with a lot of colors. Commercial Direct To Film Printing is a relatively new technology that prints multicolored artwork faster, cheaper and with more precision than traditional screen printing. The added benefit is that DTF uses ink that maintains the  same vibrance and feel of a screen printed shirt vs DTG or sublimation.

DECORATIVE VINYL

BETTER GLITTER & REFLECTIVE

Cut vinyl was the goto for small quantity full color garment printing and could look sharp with the right artwork. If someone you know has a cricket cutter at home, commercial cut vinyl is its big brother. Cut vinyl has traditionally been used for individual names and numbers on shirts and jerseys. Cut vinyl is still tops for glitter and metallic lettering, neon colors, reflective lettering, car decals, wall decals, glass decals, car magnets, stickers, and signage

EMBROIDERY & PATCHES

BETTER FOR FLEECE & WOVEN

Nothing matches the level up in class of embroidery. Dress up your polos, hats, jackets, blankets and uniforms with a stitched logo or name. Screen Printing increases in price per color. Embroidery increases in price by stitch count. So the size and density of your logo have a big impact on price,. You can use 1 to 6 colors of thread for about the same price on most orders. Heat applied patches, stitch apliques, woven stickons, and custom woven labels also fall into this category .
