Put your logo on event tees, useful totes and selected drinkware. Screen printing brings bold shapes and defined colors to promotional products people can wear, carry and use every day.
These are illustrative product ideas, not specific catalog items. Available colors, imprint sizes, placements and print methods vary by product.
A clear design starts with the artwork
Is screen printing right for your logo?
Screen printing is a useful starting point for logos with defined shapes and distinct colors. The right preparation depends on the product and how large the artwork will print.
A good starting point
Bold shapes, clear lettering and well-defined edges.
Artwork organized around distinct solid colors.
Original vector files that can be prepared at the intended print size.
Details worth reviewing
Fine lines, tiny lettering and small gaps between printed shapes.
Photos and gradients that may need halftones, special separations or another method.
Light inks on dark garments, which may require an underbase.

Plan your printed project
Product, artwork and color work together.
A logo that prints well on a flat tote may need a different size or setup on a bottle. Review the surface and print area alongside the design.
Color count
Ink colors, print locations and any underbase can affect the screens, setup and quote.
Surface & size
Material, seams, curves and available print area influence the detail and coverage that can be achieved.
Quote & timing
Product, quantity, artwork preparation and printing requirements help determine cost and production timing.
Worth considering for detailed multicolor designs on compatible apparel and fabric products.
Compare with screen printing
Screen printing uses prepared screens to apply ink. A suitable digital transfer can reproduce colorful detail without preparing a separate screen for every design color. Fabric and care requirements still need review.

Compare with screen printing
Embroidery builds a design with thread sewn into the fabric. Screen printing produces an ink graphic on the surface. The preferred look, artwork and chosen product determine which option is suitable.
Before you choose your finish
Screen printing questions, answered.
Are screen printing and silkscreen printing the same thing?
Silkscreen printing is another name commonly used for screen printing. A prepared screen controls where ink reaches the product. The suitable mesh, ink and production process depend on what is being decorated.
How many colors can my logo use?
The available color count depends on the product and printing setup. Additional ink colors typically require additional screens and alignment. Send your logo so we can review the options for your chosen item and confirm the quote.
Can screen printing reproduce photos and gradients?
Some screen-printing processes reproduce tonal artwork using halftones or multiple color separations. Whether that is suitable or available depends on the item, artwork and print area. Digital printing or a transfer may be a better option for some detailed full-color designs.
Will the printed colors match my brand colors exactly?
Ink, product color and surface texture all influence the result. Dark garments may need an underbase to support the intended colors. Share your brand color references so we can review the available options and explain any limitations.
What artwork should I send for screen printing?
Send the original vector logo if you have it, along with your color references and placement ideas. If you only have a raster image, send the highest-quality version available. We’ll identify any preparation needed at the intended print size.
What affects the price and production time?
The selected product, quantity, ink colors, print locations and artwork preparation can all affect the quote. Share your deadline and preferred items so we can confirm suitable options and production timing for your project.
