Custom screen printed t‑shirts

We use state-of-the-art digital screen printing equipment and industry expertise to design and produce screen-printed T‑shirts that represent your brand.

Spot color screen printing

The MVP of personalized T‑shirt printing, this screen printing process uses the stock color of the ink, creating vibrant, solid spots of color. Try this for designs that require specific, consistent colors across prints, making your business logo shirt pop.

Simulated process printing

Simulated process screen printing can reproduce full-color images with a limited number of ink colors. Unlike CMYK printing, which uses four ink colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a range of colors, simulated process printing utilizes carefully selected spot colors to achieve a similar effect.

Halftone printing

Halftone printing uses dots of varying sizes to create the illusion of a full spectrum of shades with just a few inks. This technique achieves a gradient effect with limited colors, adds depth to custom screen prints, and works well for complicated designs.

Make your promotional T‑shirts stand out with innovative screen-printing approaches and hybrid print methods.

Here are creative screen printing ideas you can try:

• Puff ink screen printing: Create raised, 3D textures that add tactile elements to logos or key design features.
• Metallic and shimmer inks: Incorporate gold, silver, or iridescent screen-printed elements that catch the light.
• Glow-in-the-dark screen printing: Use phosphorescent inks that charge in daylight and illuminate your design at evening events.
• Distressed screen printing: Apply intentional vintage effects for a worn-in, established brand look.
• Discharge printing: Remove existing fabric dye rather than adding ink on top, creating soft prints with no hand feel.
• Water-based screen printing: Choose eco-friendly inks that penetrate fabric for an ultra-soft finish.
• High-density screen printing: Build up multiple layers of ink for pronounced dimensional effects.

Take your screen-printed shirts to the next level with these complementary techniques:

• Embroidery: Add dimensional embroidered elements to accent a screen-printed design
• Sublimation printing: Place your logo front and center, and sublimation-print an all-over design for a maximalist effect.
• Appliqué: Attach patches or leather pieces alongside screen-printed areas
• Foil: Apply metallic foil over a special adhesive ink base for brilliant metallic details
• Laser etching: Burn patterns into fabric surfaces to complement printed elements
• Heat-applied patches: Combine traditional prints with removable or interchangeable patches

Custom T‑shirts are versatile enough for most corporate applications. You might want to screen print T‑shirts for these situations:

• Corporate gifting programs: Screen-printed shirts are an economical way to show employees or clients your care, over and over again.
• Employee welcome kits: Create orientation packages with branded shirts that new team members can wear proudly.
• Festival sponsorships: Design eye-catching tees with bold graphics to create a staple item among attendees.
• Trade shows: Stand out from competitor booths with premium shirts that attendees will want to wear.
• Outdoor corporate retreats: Equip participants with branded tees for team-building activities.
• Retail promotions: Offer limited edition custom-printed T‑shirts as purchase incentives.
• Fundraising incentives: Create exclusive designs for donors who contribute above certain levels.
• Team building kits: Distribute cohesive shirt designs that become useful souvenirs after the event.
• Product launch campaigns: Design tees that connect to your new product’s aesthetic and branding.

No matter your industry or event, we can tailor the materials, design, and customization to match.

Anthem Branding makes ordering wholesale T‑shirts in bulk simple and streamlined. Our customer service team guides you through initial design to shipment. We can even dropship your shirt order directly to recipients. Our bulk shirts maintain the same high standards, whether you’re ordering hundreds or thousands.

The screen printing process involves creating individual fine-mesh silk screens for each color in your design. Ink is pressed through these screens onto the T‑shirt using a screen printing squeegee. This technique creates durable, vibrant prints that maintain quality.

Bold, solid designs with defined edges and limited color complexity work well for screen printing. We can screen print photorealistic images through advanced techniques such as halftone printing or using a digital squeegee, but simple graphics create the most striking and durable results. Our design team can help optimize your artwork for the screen printing process.

We utilize commercial-grade screen printing presses. Each screen printing machine features multiple screen printing frames and precision screen printing squeegee tools for consistent ink application. Our garment printer setup includes adjustable print head positioning and calibrated light source elements for perfect registration on light and dark garments.

Standard screen printing typically allows 8 – 10 colors in a design. Each color requires a separate screen and setup. For designs requiring more ink colors or photorealistic prints, we offer advanced techniques that can achieve these effects.

Cotton and cotton-polyester blends provide the best results for screen printing. We can also print on performance fabrics with moisture-wicking properties. Our team can recommend a fabric based on your intended use, design complexity, and budget.

Our minimum on screen-printed T‑shirts is typically 48 pieces per design. This minimum helps offset the setup costs involved in the screen printing process. If you need a small run, contact our sales team for more information.
