SCREEN PRINT
Explanation:
-
Your logo is exposed onto a mesh screen and any blank areas in the design are coated with an impermeable substance, which means no liquids can pass through, then a squeegee pushes ink through the screen and your items are branded.
-
Pros: Cost-effective if you have large quantities to brand, great for large and bold logos and colours are printed one at a time to ensure accuracy. Allows for single or up to 6 multicolour branding.
-
Ideal for bags, t-shirts, umbrellas, coolers and other smaller items like notebooks and folders.
Steps:
Step 1
Your logo is exposed onto a mesh screen, this is where the term ‘screen print’ comes from.
Step 2
Special ink is applied to the screen in the shape of your custom design and hardens when exposed to UV light.
Step 3
The screen is then sprayed with water which washes the excess ink away and presses it through the mesh in the shape of your design.
Step 4
Thereafter, the screen gets locked into the station where printing ink is poured onto it.
Step 5
A thin layer of ink is spread onto the screen, which seeps through the logo portion of the mesh and onto your item.
Step 6
The ink is then heat dried, leaving your item branded.
