Main Methods Used for Printing T-shirts

Various methods exist for printing t-shirts. The method selected depends largely on the type of design, colours to be used, area to be printed and number of shirts you want to print.

We do not only provide a wide range t-shirts to select from for companies ordering in bulk, but also offer various t-shirt printing methods, some of which are briefly discussed below to help you make an informed decision regarding branding or promoting with t-shirts.

Silk-Screen Printing

With silk screen printing a master plate is created to transfer the ink from the screen to the fabric. It is a suitable method for printing of t-shirts where the designs are not complicated with extra details and too many colours. Artwork is normally supplied in vector. Screen printing involves the creation of a master stencil design with a design program, a frame, spraying, drying and transfer. As such screen printing is more suited for bulk orders.

Video-Flex Printing

The video-flex method involves the usage of a heat press for the transferring of images onto the t-shirts. It is one of the cheapest methods available today and with no set-up costs involved it is well-suited for small orders.

With video-flex we can print complicated images without having to create specific stencils for such. The artwork can be in one of various formats. We recommend lighter shirts if you want to save on time and costs when making use of video-flex printing. Projects can be completed in shorter timeframes because of the specific print method.

Embroidery

The method is well-suited for small designs and logos on golf shirts or caps. Since it is more expensive than the screen or video-flex printing, it is recommended for corporate clothing rather than t-shirts. It is also better suited for smaller orders.

Apart from offering you professional t-shirt printing services, we also supply t-shirts, promotional items, pants, blouses, customised uniforms, sportswear, active wear and kiddies clothing in bulk or in small order format. Expect amazing discounts on bulk orders.
