Screen printing for teams
nationwide.

Screen printing is the most cost-effective way to put your logo on a lot of shirts — and after 25+ years running presses in Louisville, we know how to make it look sharp on the first run. Bold color, thick opaque ink, and a free digital proof before a single shirt is printed.

What It Is

Best value for bigger runs.

Screen printing forces ink through a fine mesh stencil onto the garment, one color at a time. The screens take setup, but once they’re burned every additional shirt is inexpensive — which is exactly why it’s the standard for staff shirts, school orders, 5Ks, festivals, church groups and any run past a couple of dozen. It also lays down far more ink than digital printing, so your colors stay bright on black and heather garments instead of looking washed out.

  • Lowest cost per piece once you pass ~24 shirts
  • Thick, opaque ink that stays vivid on dark garments
  • Cures into the fabric — survives years of washing without cracking
  • PMS color matching against your real brand guide
  • Specialty inks: soft-hand water-based, puff, metallic and glow
  • Oversized and sleeve prints, plus tagless neck labels

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

Screen printing makes sense from about 24 pieces per design. Below that the screen setup dominates the price, so we’ll usually recommend embroidery or digital print instead — we’ll tell you honestly which is cheaper for your run.
Yes. We mix PMS-matched ink and proof it against your brand guide. Send Pantone values if you have them; if not, send the logo and we’ll pull the closest match and show you before printing.
It depends on garment, quantity and number of ink colors. A one-color print on a basic tee at volume is dramatically cheaper than a four-color print on a premium blank — send your details and you’ll have real numbers within a business day.
Standard is roughly 7–10 business days after you approve the proof. Rush turnaround down to about 3 days is available on most in-stock garments — tell us the date and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s doable.
Often yes, on customer-supplied goods. There is some risk on garments we didn’t source, so we’ll walk you through it before we take the job.
