Our Screen printing Principles
LOW COLOUR DESIGNS
Screen printing works best with designs that have standard or spot colours. The fewer the colours, the more cost-effective the job. Orders start from 10 pieces.
BULK ORDERS
Once the screen is set up, printing large quantities becomes fast and efficient. The more you print, the lower your cost per unit.
CONSISTENT REPEAT PRINTS
Every item comes out identical: same ink coverage, same placement, same result. Ideal for uniforms, branded apparel and anything that needs to look exactly the same across the run.
BUILT TO LAST
Plastisol ink is cured directly into the fabric under heat, bonding it to the material. The result is a print that holds its colour and doesn't crack or peel over time.
BOLD, VIBRANT COLOUR
Screen printing lays down a thick layer of ink that produces rich, opaque colours, even on dark fabrics. Whites and bright colours pop in a way that other methods can't match.
THE COST-EFFECTIVE CHOICE FOR BUSINESSES
For bulk orders of the same design, screen printing offers the best price per unit of any print method. The more pieces you need, the better the value becomes.
Screen Printing FAQ
Our minimum for screen printing is 10 pieces. Each colour needs its own screen, so from 10 pieces up you get the best price per item, and the more you order, the better the value. For one-offs and orders under 10, our DTF and heat-transfer vinyl options have no minimum at all.
Plenty. Our automatic silk screen printing machines print up to 6 and 8 colours, so we handle everything from a simple one-colour logo to detailed, multi-colour designs. Fewer colours still keep your setup and cost per item lower, but you’re not limited to just a handful. For photographic or gradient artwork, DTF is the better choice.
No. We cure plastisol ink directly into the fabric under heat, so it bonds to the material and holds its colour wash after wash, which makes it ideal for uniforms and kit that get worn and washed constantly.
Most orders are ready in a few working days from artwork approval, then couriered to your door anywhere in South Africa. Larger runs can take a little longer, so ask for the current lead time when you get your quote. Rush jobs are available.
Yes, it’s the most cost-effective method for bulk orders of the same design. Once the screens are set up, your price per item drops as the quantity goes up, which is why it’s the go-to for teams, schools and corporate uniforms.
