SCREEN PRINTING

Screen Printing

Screen Printing is an Ink based printing application where your logo design is applied using a film onto a fine mesh screen pushing the Ink through which transfers the image to the surface of the product.

  • Screen Printing provides a tighter registration, which means it has a more precise and crisp print than Flexo Ink Printing.
  • It is often used on fabric, such as T-Shirt printing. For packaging, it is used on canvas and non-woven bags, paperboard boxes, and paper bags. 
  • Up to three colors can be Screen Printed since this is more of a precise method and has less movement when printing. Each color is printed separately and requires it's own Screen.

Screen Printng on Packaging Example


  • Ink is not an opaque substance, and you can see through it. If you print Ink over a vibrant or dark color of box or bag, the Ink will appear different in shade or color. Samples of your Ink will require approval before production begins.
  • Bounce Factor: Since two or three-color printing requires each color to be printed at separate times, a slight bounce factor (or movement allowance) of 1/4 inch may occur between the colors of your logo.

DIGITAL PRINTING

Digital Printing

Digital Transfer Printing (aka Digital Printing) uses a heat transfer technique where the image is printed on a heated material and then pressed onto the product. Digital printing uses 4 Color Process (CMYK), allowing for printed photographs or full-color images.

  • This method of printing gives the tightest registration of printing on a surface. The individual ink dots that make up your image are extremely close together and "tight," which makes the colors and edges of your image or logo appear more crisp and tight than Flexo Ink Printing.
  • Canvas, Non-Woven, Cotton, PET Plastic, and Paper Boxes and Bags can be printed using Digital Printing.
  • Items on our site that can be printed by this method are limited to the manufacturers that offer it.
  • Four-Color Process Digital Printing Mixes all of the colors together based on the colors: CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black), similar to a laser printer. Exact PMS spot colors can not be matched with Digital /4 Color Process Printing.
  • Ink is not opaque, which means colors will naturally change when printed on various substrates and colored backgrounds.  This is especially noticeable when printing a light ink color on a darker surface.
