Screen printing is a popular decoration method that uses a squeegee to press ink through a fine mesh screen directly onto a product’s surface. A film of your design is created and applied to the screen, blocking off areas where ink shouldn't pass. Only the parts of the screen that match your design allow the ink through, transferring it precisely where it’s needed.
Each color in the design is applied one at a time, meaning a separate screen is required for every color. That’s why setup costs increase with multi-color designs—more colors mean more screens and more preparation.
