Screen Printing Overview

Screen Printing is the highest quality and longest lasting printing option that we have to offer here at Bayside.

Once we receive your artwork, our graphic designer will work with you to confirm that the design is the correct size and color. We can accommodate up to 6 colors in your design. Once approved, the final design moves onto our printer, who separates your design by color and creates a unique screen for each one. There are no rush services available for screen printing, so plan ahead for a standard two week turn-around for your project!

What is Spot Color Printing?

All screen printing projects are in spot color. This method uses screens to apply the exact color directly to the material. This method is good for simple logos with text and basic shapes that do not require gradients or excessive colors. For every different color in your design, another screen is made to print that specific color. We use Pantone colors for our printing. Pantone colors have specific formulas that will guarantee the same color is printed each time.

Minimums and Materials

You can bring in your own materials, or we can order for you via our wholesalers, which you can find here. When we quote your project, just mention whether or not you will be providing materials and we will factor it into the pricing.

The minimum amount of items depend on the amount of colors that are in your design.

1 – 2 Color – 24

3 Color – 36

4+ Colors – 48

Pricing

For screen printing, there is a set up charge of $25 per screen. Application fees depend on the amount of material that you will be ordering, where we will be printing, and the total number of colors in the print.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a sample printed before we continue with a larger order?

Depending on the project, we accept single samples to be run for a fee. In most cases the sample is made using heat transfer printing instead of screen print. This makes changing the design before print easier by removing the need to produce multiple screens. Please allow an additional week for the sample to be created.

Can I request a rush on my screen printing order?

Screen printing has a hard two week turn-around and unfortunately we cannot rush the process. If you have a small run and need them quickly, consider digital printing!

I have an existing design that I had done elsewhere. Can you copy the same design?

Yes! We can recreate your artwork in house. Our graphic designer will work with you to make sure that everything is done correctly. If you have a sample of the previous design bring it in and leave it with us so we have something to refer to.

An important thing to note is that we cannot guarantee an exact color match unless you have the existing Pantone Colors from your previous print. We can get very close, but be advised that it may be slightly off of the original. This is also why leaving a sample shirt with us is helpful because then we can refer to the specific color on the original print.
