Screen Printing

The most popular and most durable method of textiles printing used mainly for clothes at high volumes. This technique consists in preparing a matrix of fine mesh stretched on an aluminum frame. It allows to perform even the most complicated prints by Pantone colours, which mirror multicolour projects with colour gradations.

Available materials allow us to obtain noteworthy effects such as: UV printing, fluoroscent or three-dimensional printing with the use of puffy paint.

Screen printing on apparel

Screen printing is one of the most classic and at the same time most effective methods of decorating apparel, and it is still widely used in the advertising, textile and fashion industries. Thanks to the exceptional durability of the print, the high quality of detail reproduction and an attractive price for larger runs, this technique has enjoyed steady popularity for years, both among large brands and individual customers. At RAVEN we offer direct screen printing – a modern, automated service carried out with precision and attention to every detail. Thanks to advanced technical facilities and many years of experience in printing on various types of textiles, we are able to meet even the most demanding requirements. Prints made using screen printing stand out for their intense colours, resistance to abrasion and repeated washing, and their universal application – from workwear to fashion collections and promotional products.

The screen printing method

Screen printing is a technique in which ink is pressed through a specially prepared matrix (the screen) onto the surface of the material. The stencil, made on a fine mesh (usually nylon or polyester), lets the ink through only in selected places, creating the desired design directly on the fabric. The process requires a separate screen for each colour, which makes it particularly cost-effective for medium and large runs. The advantage of screen printing is not only the durability and intensity of the colours, but also the possibility of achieving effects unavailable in other decoration techniques. Screen printing allows high-resolution prints, which works well both for simple graphics and for more complex designs.

In our workshop we use modern automatic and semi-automatic machines that guarantee perfect reproduction of the design, high repeatability and great efficiency. We also offer a wide choice of inks, including plastisol, water-based, eco-friendly, fluorescent and metallic ones, as well as special effects such as raised, pearl or glitter prints.

Screen printing to order

We offer a comprehensive made-to-order screen printing service – from preparing the artwork files and advising on material selection, through test prints, to final production. We handle every order individually, taking into account the client’s needs, the character of the project and the intended use of the apparel. We work for companies, advertising agencies, fashion brands, event organisers, public institutions, schools and individual customers. Whatever the scale of the project – from a dozen to several thousand pieces – we guarantee the highest quality standards and on-time delivery.

Our experience allows us to select the optimal printing parameters depending on the type of material (cotton, polyester, blends) and the expected visual effect. We also use advanced colour separation and proofing techniques, so that before printing the client receives a realistic visualisation of the final product.

Screen printing on T-shirts

One of the most popular applications of this technique is screen printing on T-shirts – as well as on sportswear, workwear and promotional apparel. Printed T-shirts made using screen printing are characterised by exceptional print durability, sharp detail and wide personalisation possibilities. We offer a full range of prints – from simple logos and advertising slogans to complex illustrations and artistic designs. Screen printing delivers saturated colours, strong contrast and special effects that make a product stand out from the competition. Thanks to our advanced machines we can complete even large orders quickly and precisely, maintaining quality regardless of the number of pieces. We print both on our own T-shirts and on garments supplied by the client. We help select the right cut, weight and colour of the apparel so that the final effect is not only attractive but also functional.

The cost of screen printing on clothing

The cost of a screen print on apparel depends on several factors, such as:

• the number of pieces ordered (the larger the run, the lower the unit cost),
• the number of colours used in the design (each colour means a separate screen),
• the type of apparel (weight, fabric, brand),
• the inks and special effects used,
• any costs of preparing the artwork and the screens.

At RAVEN we offer a transparent quotation system and an individual approach to every project. Based on the materials supplied we prepare a detailed cost calculation together with suggestions for optimisation. For clients placing regular or larger orders we offer attractive discounts and favourable terms of long-term cooperation. Get in touch and see our professionalism and flexibility for yourself.
