What To Know About The Applications of Screen Printing
Screen printing is a method that uses a stencilled mesh screen to produce a printed design. This can be used in many industries and for different purposes. Although few people are familiar with the process of screen printing, most have used and owned products that were branded using it.
Here are some examples of how your business can use screen printing:
Glass And Ceramics
Drinking glasses, coffee mugs and water bottles are popular branded and decorative merchandise choices. We’ve all seen customised water bottles and mugs printed with designs, logos or event information; most of these have been screen-printed. That’s not the only place that screen printing is used, however. It is also used on glass windows, tiles, mirrors, etc.
Textile Printing
It is an excellent way to enhance the fabric's appearance and create any type of pattern you desire. Many different types of materials can be screen printed, including cotton fabrics, silk fabrics, wool fabrics, jersey fabrics, acrylic and polyester fabrics, etc.
Canvases, Posters And Artwork
By using a screen stencil, you can create several identical copies of the same piece of artwork on multiple canvases, papers or fabrics. You can also make identical copies of posters and other signage. This means that you can create decorative pieces in bulk to be sold in stores, etc.
Decals And Stickers
Vinyl stickers can be made using screen printing. This can be a very cost-effective way to create these stickers and decals. These stickers will have greater detail and colour when made using screen printing techniques than other techniques.
Clothing And Promotional Products
Several pieces of apparel can be made using screen printing. Although there are several ways that clothing such as sweatshirts, hats and t-shirts can be branded, screen printing is one of the most affordable and time-friendly options.
Product Labels and Packaging
Printed labels instead of woven will have a higher vibrancy and colour and be more cost-effective. Screen printing is also a great way to easily create large amounts of labels in a relatively short time period.
Screen printing is a straightforward and easy-to-execute process that can simplify the creation of many products. To find out more about screen printing and to find the best solution for your business, contact Minuteman Press St. George’s Park.
