What is
Screen Printing?

Screen printing has been around for centuries, but it wasn’t until the popularity of t-shirts began to rise in the 1960s that screen printing took off. The process of screen printing involves a variety of modern technology, colored ink, a mesh stencil/silkscreen, and a heat press. Our team starts by picking out your desired apparel and creating your mesh stencil using digital technology. This stencil is the outline for your design that we can use for t-shirts, jackets, pants, and more. Once the stencil is positioned correctly over the fabric, ink is applied to the stencil, and using a commercial pressing machine, is stamped into the desired apparel.

Once your design is dried into the fabric, we place your order under a heat press machine to seal the ink and get it ready for shipping.  In a matter of minutes, you now have a quality, long-lasting, custom design for your small business or group. Interested in our screen printing services? Give us a call today or order now!

How Do I Get Custom T-Shirt Designs?

Our process starts with a logo or design; you can either create the design yourself and send it to us via email, or you can give us an idea of what you’re wanting and we can create the design for you! Once a design has been selected, we print and burn your logo onto one of our quality screens to transfer the design onto a t-shirt, sweatshirt, hoodies, and more! Whether you need 12 shirts for your bachelorette party or a hundred for a corporate meeting, we work with the top name brands in the industry to give you endless options when it comes to the color, brand, and style of apparel you’re wanting.
