Custom Screen Printing for Apparel and Merchandise
Screen printing is one of the most durable and cost-effective ways to produce custom apparel for businesses, teams, schools, and events. It is ideal for bold graphics, consistent branding, and large orders where quality and long-lasting prints matter.
725 Print Lab uses professional screen printing equipment and proven production methods to deliver vibrant prints that hold up through repeated wear and washing.
Screen printing is best suited for bulk apparel orders with a 50-piece minimum.
How Screen Printing Works
Screen printing uses mesh screens to transfer ink onto garments. Each color in the design is applied through a separate screen, creating vibrant and durable prints that bond with the fabric.
Because screens must be created for each design, screen printing is most efficient for larger quantities of apparel where the setup cost is spread across the order.

The Advantages of Screen Printed Apparel
Screen printing remains one of the most popular printing methods because it produces bold, durable designs that hold up well over time.
Durable Prints
Screen printed designs are embedded into the fabric, making them resistant to fading, cracking, or peeling.
Vibrant Colors
The printing process allows inks to sit on top of the fabric, creating bright and highly visible colors.
Cost-Effective for Bulk Orders
Once screens are created, printing larger quantities becomes very efficient and affordable.
Consistent Production Quality
Every item in a production run receives the same precise application of ink, ensuring uniform results.
Screen printing is the preferred option for businesses, organizations, and events ordering large quantities of apparel.
