Screen Printed Labels
Custom screen printed clothing labels are similar to woven labels except your design is printed onto the woven ground material. We can accommodate any ground color and up to 4 print colors. The screen printing process allows for an extremely accurate translation of your artwork onto a soft fabric clothing label. Small text, logo details and precise proportions that may not work well woven in thread become possible with printed woven labels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is screen printing different from digital printing for labels?
➤
Screen printing uses stencils to apply ink in layers, producing bold, vibrant colors that are extremely durable. It's most cost-effective for large quantities with limited colors (1-4). Digital printing is better for full-color, photographic designs and small runs.
Q: What's the minimum order for screen printed labels?
➤
We have a low minimum of just 5 pieces, but screen printed labels become most cost-effective at quantities of 100+ due to setup involved. For smaller runs, digital or woven labels may offer better value.
Advantages of Screen Printed Clothing Labels
Screen printed clothing labels use ink to ensure an accurate translation of your logo without the distortions thread can sometimes cause. This makes a screen printed label a good choice for brands that need to ensure a precise reproduction of their logo. They're also great for designs with very small text. Screen printed labels are also slightly lighter weight than their woven counterpart due to only one thread color being used in the background material. Fade resistant inks are custom mixed to match your specified print colors and will last the lifetime of the label. When your design requires crisp edges and perfect proportions, consider a screen printed label for your products.
Add Size Versions to Screen Printed Labels
For screen printed labels, we use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to communicate your desired colors to the production team. If you don't have a Pantone color chart, don't worry! We will match the colors from your artwork file to the closest Pantone equivalent for you. However, if you have specific Pantone colors you need used on your labels, please specify them in your artwork file or the comment section of your order. Of all the different Pantone chart types, we find the Pantone Coated chart generally provides the best reference for production. You'll be able to approve the selected Pantone colors for your order when you receive your digital proof.
Turnaround Options for Screen Printed Labels
We specialize in delivering screen printed labels with the flexibility to meet various timelines. Our standard production turnaround time is a competitive 15 business days, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship. For those with tighter schedules, we provide a rush production option, delivering in just 10 business days without compromising quality. This expedited service caters to clients with time-sensitive requirements, ensuring that our embroidered patches meet the highest standards while accommodating tight schedules. We achieve this by directing your order to a specialty production facility dedicated to producing the highest quality labels as quickly as possible. This service includes a 50% rush fee.
How Small Can I Print Text?
Screen printed labels are a great choice for designs with small text that may not translate well using thread. While woven labels can only accommodate 5pt fonts, this type of label can display fonts as small as 2.5pt. At the very smallest sizes, we recommend you select a simple sans serif font and avoid script or other fancy font options. If you are unsure if the text in your design will translate clearly, send the design over to our team and we'll point you in the right direction. All orders are reviewed by our team to ensure your artwork will work well at scale before production of your order begins.
Screen Printing Requires Vector Artwork
The screen printing process requires a vectorized version of your artwork. Vector file formats include AI, EPS and SVG. This is because when screen printing, each color is printed individually. Common bitmap files such as JPG or PNG are flat and don't allow us to separate each color. If you need a screen printed label and don't have a vector file, please submit the highest resolution file you have, ideally 300dpi or higher. Our graphic artist will try to convert your bitmap file to vector. If we have any problems we'll let you know before production begins.
