Screen Printing

Durable, vibrant prints for team shirts, spirit wear, and events — done in-house on Garland Rd.

What is screen printing?

Screen printing pushes ink directly through a stencil (the 'screen') onto fabric, one color at a time. It's the industry standard for t-shirts and team apparel because prints come out bold, colorfast, and tough enough to outlast the garment. We print in-house at our Dallas shop, which means our team controls quality on every run.

  • Team and spirit shirts in quantity
  • Bold multi-color designs

How it's done

  1. Artwork prep

    We separate your design by color and flag anything that won't reproduce well on fabric.

  2. Screens & setup

    Each color gets its own screen, registered so the layers line up cleanly.

  3. Printing

    Ink is pressed through the screens onto each garment, color by color.

  4. Curing & check

    Prints are heat-cured for wash durability, then checked before packing.

Common questions

What files do you need for screen printing?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) are ideal because each color separates cleanly. High-resolution PNGs or JPGs (300 dpi at print size) usually work too. If your art needs cleanup or a redraw, our design team handles that — see Artwork & Design Help.

Screen printing vs. embroidery: which should I choose?

Choose screen printing for t-shirts, spirit wear, and large or multi-color designs at quantity. Choose embroidery for polos, caps, and jackets where a stitched logo reads more professional. Many programs use both — printed tees for players and fans, embroidered polos for coaches and staff.

Why does the number of ink colors matter?

Every color in your design needs its own screen and press station, which affects setup cost. Simplifying a design from five colors to two often saves money without hurting the look — we'll tell you when that trade-off is worth it.
