What does screen printing consist of?
Before we get to whether screen printing is the most durable method of marking – let’s take a look at the technique. Much is revealed here by the name itself. Sito-printing, that is, printing through a kind of screen. Or rather, it is a stencil, applied to a very fine mesh. In this way, the ink is distributed only in those places where it should be. Each print is then pressed through the stencil, which allows the design to be firmly fixed.

What to use the most durable marking method for?
Screen printing will be a hit if you care about marking clothing or other textiles. Due to the nature of the method – printing on wood, metal or plastic might not be permanent and clear. That’s why it’s so important to discuss with the printer the material on which your design will eventually be placed. However, clothing promotional gadgets or creating your own clothing brand should not be a problem at all!

What does screen printing look like?
Now that we know what this method is and when it works best… let’s talk about the effects. And these are phenomenal! The fine mesh with which the pattern is applied allows you to achieve extremely clear and sharp colors. In addition, the whole process of screen printing completely eliminates the risk of imperfections or deficiencies in the final print. This is why it is so often used by the world’s biggest apparel brands. However, is that the only reason?

Screen printing – the most durable and cheapest marking method?
Although it may sound unbelievable, but it is! The low price is the result of using a stencil. As a result, the larger the print run that goes into signage, the lower the final unit price. If you are planning to create your own brand, this method will allow you to scale your business very conveniently and profitably. In addition, larger quantities will not mean a decrease in quality!

When is it worth using screen printing?
Due to the fact that screen printing is the most durable method of marking – it is worth using it whenever you care about impeccable quality. It will also be extremely useful when we plan to print on large print runs. However, as we wrote above – it will not work well on non-clothing surfaces, such as metal, wood or plastic.

We hope that you are now able to determine whether screen printing is the right method for your needs!
