Screen Printing can get pricey.
Over the years, however, I’ve noticed that there are a few little things
you can do that will save you money. Here are five ideas that will keep costs down:
First: Just use a one color
design! If you only print on one side of
the shirt, this is probably the best way to keep the cost down. Most of my favorite shirts that we print are
when customers choose a large, one color, artsy design that covers the front of
the shirt. Here’s an example:
Second: If you want to have some sort of differentiation between
shirts, just change the shirt color. It
doesn’t cost extra to change the color of the shirt as long as the ink choice
still works with that shirt color. This
is the main trick to separate teams, group dates for high school, or just to
add variation.
Third: Another way to add
differentiation is to change ink colors.
You keep the same design, but change the ink. Although this is not free (usually costs
around $5.00 each ink change), it is less expensive than changing designs.
Fourth: We get a lot of questions about mixing and matching different
items for the same print. We can do this
and we recommend it! We can print the
same design on t-shirts, hoodies, athletic shirts, cinch bags, you name
it. As long as the design you pick fits
on all of the items, this is a great way to save screen charges.
Fifth: Half Tone your design! (See
the previous post about Half Tones).
Basically it is the process of making a one color design look like a two
color design by pixilating your image.
Now that you know some great cost effective screening tips, give us a
call for pricing!
