Custom Screen Printing
We offer custom screen printing for the runs where consistency and durability matter most — the classic, cost-effective way to put a bold design on a lot of garments and have every piece look the same. From team uniforms to event tees, it's built to hold up wash after wash. Rooted in Traverse City and shipping to your team wherever they are.
Where screen printing is the right call.
Bigger runs
The more pieces you print, the better the per-unit cost. Screen printing shines on larger team, event, and giveaway orders.
Bold, simple artwork
Solid shapes and a handful of colors reproduce crisp and bright — ideal for logos, slogans, and event tees.
Gear that gets worn hard
Cured ink bonds into the fabric and stays vivid through heavy, repeated washing.
How screen printing works.
Separate the art
Your design is split into individual colors, one screen per color.
Burn the screens
Each color gets its own stencil so ink only passes where it should.
Print and cure
Ink is pressed through the screens onto the garment, then heat-cured so it lasts.
Choosing the right decoration method
A quick side-by-side of the four ways we decorate apparel, so you can match the method to the piece, the artwork, and the run size.
| Method | Best for | Look & feel | Color range | Minimums | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | Polos, caps, outerwear, and bags | Premium, textured, dimensional | Best for simpler, solid-color logos | Low | Excellent — lasts the life of the garment |
| Screen printing | Larger runs of tees and hoodies | Bold, classic, opaque | Great for a few spot colors | Higher (setup per color) | Very good |
| DTF (direct-to-film) | Detailed art, mixed garments, smaller runs | Vivid, full-color, slight surface feel | Full color, gradients, and photos | None to low | Very good |
| DTG (direct-to-garment) | Photo-quality prints and one-offs | Soft, prints into the fabric | Full color, gradients, and photos | None | Good — best on cotton |
