Screen Printing on Different Materials
Screen printing is a method that uses a stencilled mesh screen and ink to print designs on various materials. Screen printing is best known for custom apparel and t-shirts, but it can also be used for many other industries and purposes. In fact, it would be nearly impossible to find someone that doesn’t own at least one screen-printed product.
These are just a few ways that screen printing could be used in your business:
Glass and Ceramics.
Screen printing is a standard method of creating branded water bottles and mugs that feature logos, event information, or other designs. These products are great for promotional giveaways and branded merchandise, but screen printing is not only for these items; it can be applied to many other glass or ceramic surfaces such as mirrors and glass panels, tiles and other surfaces.
Textile Printing.
Screen printing is an excellent way for unique textiles. It can improve any fabric's appearance and create any type of pattern. Since screen printing is so versatile, you can apply almost any pattern that you can think of on materials to create beautifully unique designs. You can screen print on silk, wool, jersey, acrylic, polyester, or other fabrics.
Posters and Canvases.
Using a screen stencil, you can create multiple copies of the same artwork, signage, or poster. You can produce large quantities of the same item (like an invitation or advertisement) quickly and easily, allowing you to get the word out there while still keeping a tight budget. You can also mass-produce canvasses and sell them in retail stores, and so much more. Your imagination is the only limitation when it comes to screen printing.
Clothing and Promotional Products.
Many pieces of apparel can quickly and affordably be made with screen printing. This allows you to create high-quality uniforms, team apparel and merchandise such as hats, sweatshirts, pants and t-shirts for your business or event. You can add various elements to these pieces of clothing, including colours, logos, designs, team names, etc.
Product Packaging & Labels.
Screen printing allows for the easy creation of product labels and packaging that are usually woven or printed traditionally. This is a more efficient way to sustainably create unique designs in a shorter period. This will also give your labels and product packaging more colour and vibrancy, and it is also cheaper than many other printing techniques.
