Screen Printing - Custom T-Shirt Printing - Auckland NZ

• Screen Printing is very cost effective for large runs and gives a high quality, vibrant and long lasting print. 
• Screen set up costs apply per colour as every colour for a design requires a separate screen. 
• Screen set up fees are a one-off cost. Any subsequent reorder of the same image will not require this charge, but will incur a screen reset fee. 
• Price is based on the quantity of garments being printed and number of colours used. If you are printing bright colours onto dark garments you may also need a white base and this counts as an extra colour.

A popular alternative to Screen Printing is Direct-to-Film T-Shirt Printing, which is often more cost effective and makes vibrant colours really pop!

How does Screen Printing for Custom T-Shirt and Design Work? 

The most durable transfer method for custom printed t-shirts is screen printing, which involves creating a stencil (printers call this a “screen”), and then using that stencil to apply layers of ink on the printing surface. Each colour is applied using a different stencil, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look.

Screen printing is the best option for designs that require a high level of vibrancy, when printing on dark shirts, or for specialty products. The ink in screen printing is applied thicker than other methods, which results in brighter colours even on darker shirts.

Every order is different and whether you’re curious about the cost of your order or the price difference between different designs or products, we’re always here to provide a quick, accurate price quote with no obligation to buy.

Your all-inclusive price is determined by

• The product(s) you select
• The total number of ink colours needed for printing
• The total quantity of items in your order
• The artwork / graphic supplied

Other factors such as personalisation of the t-shirt design (adding personalised names and/or numbers to your items) or special requests also affect the cost. Whilst there's no minimum order quantity, the cost per t-shirt significantly reduces with quantity. If you're looking for other options for your brand, you may also wish to consider custom embroidery of your logo on polos or a combination of embroidery and custom printed custom tees. 

Savings tip: The easiest way to reduce the cost per item is to increase the quantity of your order. Consider ordering a few extras to maximize your savings. Reducing the number of ink colours in your design can also lead to significant savings. Our team of talented artists can make any design shine with only three, two, or even one ink colour!
