Custom and Wholesale T-Shirt Printing: Screen Printing
Wholesale T-shirt printing is generally carried out to order, and it is possible to have such work carried out online rather than you having to visit printers trying to find the right design or the best price for your order.
Garment printing is a popular means of adding logos and script to garments, and screen printing T-shirts is one the more popular means of doing so. This type of clothing has always been very popular, particularly with younger people, and while they come in a very wide variety of designs and logos you can’t beat a customized Tee printed in a personalized design or even designed by yourself.
When seeking custom or wholesale garment printing firms online, it is normally screen printing that would be used unless specified otherwise. However, screen printing T-Shirts is more economical for large orders because of the expense of making the screen. This can be explained better by means of a quick description of the screen printing process.
Screen Printing
Also referred to as silk-screen printing, the screens are made of fine mesh, originally silk, that are coated with a light-sensitive polymer emulsion. The artwork is photographed onto the light-sensitive emulsion, and where the design permits the light to pass through, the emulsion hardens. When the emulsion is washed off the design areas are left behind to block the passage of ink through the screen.
The screen is placed over the garment, the ink is applied to one side of the screen frame, and a squeegee, as it is called, pulls it across the screen. The areas where the emulsion was washed off allows the ink to penetrate the fabric and so prints the design.
Because of the way it operates each color has to be applied individually, so a number of screens are needed for multi-color printing. That is why screen printing is best when used for wholesale T-shirt printing. Screen printing T-shirts on an individual basis is expensive because of the cost of preparing the screens.
Most commercial custom Tees printers do not apply separate set-up charges, such as the cost of making the screen, but instead include that in their quoted price. By doing that customers know exactly what they are paying for their screen printed T-shirts.
Custom Tee are very popular, and customers for screen printed custom T-shirts or who require wholesale T-shirt printing can have up to 4 colors printed, but if your order is large enough you can have up to 7 colors. Order size matters so that you are not paying too much for your T-shirts, and 7 colors would require 7 different screens to be prepared. However, you can generally get what you want if you are prepared to pay for the extra set-up costs.
Wholesale T-Shirt Printing
Wholesale printing is the least expensive way in which to order printed T-shirts. While a single T-shirt can cost almost $30 to have color printed, this price drops dramatically with volume, and wholesale T-shirt printing orders for between 500 and 1000 can be as little as $5, or $6 for seven colors! That is a significant price difference, and many wholesale retailers have their customized T-shirts printed this way.
The colors with screen printed T-shirts are much brighter than with any other fabric printing technique, and unlike inkjet, can be used on all types of fabric, natural or synthetic. There are also no specific washing instructions other than for the fabric itself. In addition, you generally get to choose the make of shirt you prefer from a range offered by the printer. Examples can include Ramo, Bella and Fruit of the Loom, so the T-shirt printing carried out by printers is not only first class quality but so too are the T-shirts being printed.
Many online printing firms allow you to offer your own designs for printing – now that is really cool! You can be totally unique with your own custom T-shirts and you don’t have to know anything about printing. Screen printing can handle any design you want, but keep in mind that due to the printing process, screen printed T-shirts become increasingly expensive the more colors you use.
Not only T-shirt Printing
It’s not only T-shirt printing that these screen printing can handle, but practically any article. Some popular examples are hoodies, rashies and polo shirts, and screen printing techniques are also ideal for personalizing items such as mugs, coasters, mouse pads and a whole range of personalized gifts for your friends and family. Just get online and find a printer that offers printed T-shirts, silk screen printed items or even wholesale T-shirt printing if you are a retailer interested in selling them. You could even take orders online and pass them on to the printer, adding your own markup.
Custom and wholesale T printing is becoming very popular and an increasing number of printers are screen printing T-shirts, mugs and a whole host of items to meet this demand. A personalized item, or one designed by you, is always a welcome and very much appreciated gift – and with the holiday period coming up. . .
