FOR CUSTOMERS LARGE AND SMALL…SCREEN PRINTING IS THE CORNERSTONE OF KTB!

Screen Printing still comprises the majority of what we do. With a capacity to fulfill any size order, we love to work on orders from 10 to 10,000 – whether you are organizing a small family reunion or putting on a large running event.

WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?

Screen Printing involves creating a stencil, known as a screen, and then using that screen to apply ink on the printing surface. Each individual color is applied using a different screen, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look. The more colors a design has, the more screens that are needed, and the more setup time required.

The ink in screen printing is applied thicker than digital printing, which results in brighter colors – even on darker shirts. Screen printing is the best option for designs that require a high level of vibrancy, specialty products, or for quantities greater than 6 pieces. While KT Bee Creations has no minimums for screen printing, price is usually a prohibitive factor under 6 pieces.

PRICE FACTORS:

Type of Garment: For almost every product type we have an inexpensive, mid-range, and high end option, and there are many styles to choose from – not just t-shirts!

Quantity Ordered: Due to the setup involved in screen printing, the more shirts you order, the lower your price will be as you pass price break points.

Number of Locations Printed: Each location requires new setup and runs for your imprint. A front print only will always be cheaper than a front and back print.

Number of Colors on Each Design: The number of colors in each design affects the run time and setup for each location. A one color print will be less expensive than a three color print. If you have a lot of colors and tones of colors in your design, a process print may be a cheaper solution.

In-Hands Date: Orders are produced for the agreed upon due date. Garments needed in a few days from your order placement date will be more expensive than those needed in a few weeks.
