Screen Print

Bold colour, built for volume

When you need scale without compromising impact, screen printing delivers. Ink bonded into the fabric gives a bold, vibrant, hard-wearing finish, and the per-garment cost drops as your numbers climb, making it the most cost-effective method for large runs of the same design.

Where screen printing is the right call

High volume: the most cost-effective method as quantities grow.
Bold, simple artwork: solid shapes and a defined set of colours reproduce crisply.
Long-lasting wear: excellent durability on tees, hoodies and promotional apparel.
Event and team merchandise: consistent output across big runs.

For photographic images, gradients or full-colour artwork, Supacolour Premium DTF is the better choice.

Executed correctly, every time

Our artwork team prepares your design and confirms it on a proof before production. We keep your artwork and screens on record, so repeat runs match your original, every time.

Your Questions, Answered

How durable is screen printing?

Screen printing bonds ink firmly into the fabric, producing a hard-wearing finish that withstands repeated commercial and domestic washing. It's an excellent choice for large runs of the same design.

Can you match my exact brand colours?

Yes. Screen print colours are mixed as solid spot colours and matched closely to your brand colours. Each colour in your design is printed as a separate screen, so screen print suits designs with a defined number of solid colours. For photographic images, gradients or full-colour artwork, we recommend Supacolour Premium DTF.

Is there a limit to how much detail you can print?

Screen printing is best for bold, solid designs and spot colours. Very fine detail, gradients and photographic images are less suited to the process; for those, Supacolour Premium DTF is the better choice.

Which garments and products can be screen printed?

It works best on flatter, larger print areas on garments such as tees, polos, hoodies and bags, in cotton and blends. Highly structured or curved items, like caps, are better suited to other methods.

Will it look exactly like my logo?

For solid spot-colour designs, yes, screen print gives a crisp, faithful result. Effects like gradients and photographic detail are adapted, or better reproduced with Supacolour Premium DTF. Our artwork team shows you a proof before we proceed.

Once my logo is set up, do you reuse it for future orders?

Yes. Once your design is prepared for screen printing, we keep your artwork and screens on record and reuse them for your future orders, so your branding stays identical every time you reorder ... and no Artwork Setup Fee applies for that configuration.

Can I approve how my logo will look before the full order is produced?

Yes. You'll receive a hi-res artwork proof (see Sample Artwork Proof) to approve before anything goes into production, so you can confirm the placement, size and colours. We don't proceed until you're happy.

Can you print on garments I supply myself?

We don't decorate customer-supplied garments. Everything we print comes from our own range, which keeps quality, sizing and colour consistent and means we stand behind the finished product end to end. With over 200,000 variants across Australia's leading brands, our team will help you find the right fit for your team.
