Silkscreen Printing

  • Silkscreen printing is a printing method where ink is printed directly onto soft materials like cloth, bags, or lanyards.
  • The designs printed via silkscreen printing are durable and very long-lasting. They can withstand thousands of washes, allowing apparel that is customized with silkscreen printing to last for many years. 


  • We use this for 1 to 2 colors printing only. 




UV Color Printing


  • UV color printing is a printing process that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to dry or cure inks through a machine. UV inks are more durable and vibrant than traditional inks, making them ideal for outdoor signs and other high-use applications. UV color printing is a popular printing method for hard surfaces. 


  • We use this for printing with 3 colors and more.
