Choose the graphic finish
Solid blocks, finer detail and textured effects ask different things of the process. Identify the main visual goal and review how the selected ink feels across the full graphic area.

01 — In short
What is screen printing?
Screen printing applies ink through a prepared screen onto the garment or fabric. It is a useful route for repeat artwork, bold graphics and selected names or numbers. Ink selection, colour separations, curing and the base fabric all affect the result, which should be approved on a decorated sample.
02 — The order brief
Make the important details clear.
These are approval points for your specific garment. Materials, techniques, minimums and timing are confirmed in the written order brief.
- Artwork separations
- Agree the colours, final dimensions and any fine detail or halftone requirements.
- Ink hand
- Specify the desired coverage, surface feel and any special effect.
- Base colour
- Review underbase requirements and colour behaviour on the actual garment shade.
- Fabric compatibility
- Assess adhesion, heat response, stretch and dye migration where relevant.
- Approval
- Check registration, edge clarity, hand and wash appearance.
03 — From artwork to approval
Three decisions that shape the result.
Review the actual colour combination
Ink on a dark garment may need a different approach from ink on a light base. Approve the garment shade and print together rather than judging colours independently.
Test movement and care
A decoration should suit how the garment bends, stretches and is cleaned. Review the sample after the intended handling and care, including the edges and any large filled areas.

06 — Care and quality
Judge the complete garment.
Use the care label approved for the ink, base fabric and complete garment. Avoid direct pressing on artwork unless permitted, and assess the decorated sample through the intended wash and drying process.
Keep the approved sample and specification together. Review any change in fabric, artwork, trim or finishing before repeating a production run; a previous approval does not establish that a different combination will behave identically.

08 — Buyer questions
10 questions about Screen printing.
Practical answers for preparing the garment, artwork, sample and order brief.
What artwork works well for screen printing?
Bold shapes and repeat graphics are common starting points, but fine detail and halftones can also be discussed. Send the artwork at its intended size for process review.
Can screen printing be used on hoodies?
Yes, on a compatible body fabric. Consider the surface, print size, pocket seams and intended hand, then approve a decorated sample.
Can screen printing work on polyester?
A compatible ink and application process are needed. Review heat response, dye migration and the required stretch on the selected fabric and shade.
Does each colour need a separate screen?
Conventional multicolour artwork is commonly separated into individual print colours. The actual separation and production approach should be confirmed for the design.
Can a screen print feel soft?
The ink system, deposit, artwork area and fabric affect the hand. Describe the finish you want and compare a physical sample rather than relying on a process name alone.
Can screen printing include names and numbers?
It can be considered alongside other decoration routes. Provide the number of variations, garment sizes, artwork and quantities so the appropriate process can be discussed.
What is dye migration in garment printing?
Some fabric dyes can move into a decoration under heat or later conditions. Discuss a suitable ink or transfer system and approve a trial on the actual garment shade.
How do I maintain a screen-printed garment?
Follow the approved care label for the complete item. Protect the print from unapproved direct ironing and inspect its colour, edges and hand after sample care assessment.
Can I approve a sample for screen printing before bulk?
Discuss screen printing with the garment and artwork brief. Review the relevant physical sample or proof, record changes and approve the final specification before the agreed bulk work proceeds.
How are quantities and timing confirmed for screen printing?
Send the garment styles, sizes, colours, artwork versions and quantity breakdown. Minimums, development scope, sample requirements and timing for screen printing are confirmed for the order in writing; there are no fixed public prices.
09 — Your next step
Bring the brief. Approve the sample.
Send the product, target fabric, colours, size range, artwork and quantity breakdown. Explain the intended use and any required performance or care evidence. We discuss the applicable route, confirm the development scope and identify the sample or proof needed for approval.
Review the finish alongside the garment fit, labels and packing. Confirm the agreed revision and order conditions before bulk production.
