Custom Screen Printing Services at ApparelBus

Screen printing is one of the most reliable and popular methods for customizing apparel. It creates bold, long-lasting prints that stay vibrant through repeated washing and daily wear like t-shirts and hoodies. At ApparelBus, we make this process easy for businesses, teams, schools, nonprofits, and event organizers who need quality results at wholesale prices.

Whether you’re ordering a few dozen shirts or a large bulk run, our screen printing service delivers consistent, professional results every time. Many of our clients choose to order personalized apparel with screen printing services for events, uniforms, and branded promotions.

What is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is a decoration method where ink is pressed through a mesh screen directly onto fabric. Each color in your design is applied with its own screen, which allows for bright colors and crisp edges. This process works best for bold graphics, company logos, team names, and solid-color designs.

Unlike digital printing, screen printing offers unmatched durability. The ink bonds with the fabric, creating prints that last for years without fading. That’s why it’s the first choice for uniforms, promotional items, and branded merchandise like screen-printed t-shirts.

Types of Screen Printing We Offer

At ApparelBus, we know every project is different. That’s why we offer a variety of screen printing methods, each designed to handle different types of designs, fabrics, and end uses. Here’s a closer look:

• Standard Screen Printing

  This is the most common and cost-effective technique, perfect for clean, bold graphics, logos, and text. It delivers solid colors with sharp edges, making it a go-to option for schools, events, and company apparel.

• Spot Process Printing

  Best suited for complex or multi-color designs, this method can handle up to 10 colors with precision. It’s often used for detailed logos or promotional artwork that needs more depth and variety than standard printing.

• 4-Color Process Printing (CMYK)

  If your design looks like a photograph or includes gradients, shadows, or intricate details, this is the method for you. It blends cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks to recreate full-color images.

• Specialty Inks

  Sometimes you need something extra. We offer a range of specialty inks, including:

  • Metallic inks for a shimmer effect that catches the eye.
  • Stretch inks designed for performance wear and athletic gear.
  • Soft-hand inks for a lighter, vintage feel that adds comfort and style.

• Custom Neck Label Printing

  For brands that want a professional, retail-ready finish, we can replace manufacturer tags with your own printed label inside the garment. This gives your apparel a polished, branded look that customers will remember.

Products Suitable for Screen Printing

Screen printing adapts well to a wide range of fabrics and apparel styles, making it one of the most versatile decoration methods. Products we commonly print include:

• T-shirts and long-sleeve tees
• Hoodies and sweatshirts
• Polos, uniforms, and workwear
• Tote bags, aprons, and towels
• Jackets and safety vests
• Team jerseys with names and numbers

From lightweight cotton to heavy fleece and performance polyester, our team applies the right inks and methods to fit the fabric.

Artwork & Design Support

To get the best results, we recommend sending production-ready vector artwork sized for your chosen garment. This helps avoid delays and extra costs.

If your artwork isn’t ready, our design department can assist with:

• Converting bitmap files into clean vector artwork
• Adjusting or enhancing existing vector files
• Converting CMYK or RGB colors to Pantone for consistency
• Resizing artwork to fit different garments

We also offer Pantone matching within 90% tolerance, ensuring your logo colors stay on-brand. For complete confidence, you can request a digital proof to see exactly how your design will look before production.

Placement Options for Custom Prints

Your logo or design can go in more places than just the front of a shirt. Popular placement options include:

• Front and back prints
• Sleeve designs (short or long)
• Pocket and above-pocket areas
• Side wrap designs without seams
• Inside neck labels for branding

This flexibility allows you to create apparel that looks professional and unique to your brand.

Extra Customization Options

Our screen printing service can be combined with additional finishing touches, including:

• Specialty Inks – Metallic, stretch, or soft-hand options.

• Packing & Finishing Services – Folding, polybagging, hang tags, stickers, or hangers.

• Team & Event Customization – Add player names, numbers, or sponsor logos to jerseys and uniforms.

These services turn your order into a complete, retail-ready product.
