Wholesale Blank Apparel for Screen Printing

Screen printing is an apparel decoration style that involves using paint, a screen and a t-shirt or apparel item. The t-shirt is laid down and the screen is then laid down on top. The paint is pulled and pushed in both directions. The screen’s cut out has a design on it, and the finished product is a colorful and vibrant print on t-shirt.

The best material for screen printing is 100% cotton, cotton/poly blends, or polyester. You can screen print on anything, as long as it fits in your machine! Higher quality fabrics will hold the paint better and keep your prints looking brand new for as long as possible!

When it comes to actual washing practices, we suggest two options, the first being either hand wash in cool water with a mild, diluted soap. The option is if you still want to machine wash. Just make sure you follow a few rules. Wash at cooler temperatures on the gentle cycle either alone, with other shirts or with delicates. You don’t want the edges of the print to peel from rubbing against abrasive surfaces. Turning the screen printed somewhat inside out will also help to protect the design. Use a mild detergent. Air dry if possible. If not possible, tumble dry on the lowest setting.
