Screen Printing
LAS VEGAS
When you need 50, 200, or 1,000 shirts and every one of them has to look the same, screen printing is the answer. It’s the most durable print method on the market, the lowest cost per shirt on bulk runs, and the method Las Vegas businesses have relied on for branded apparel since long before DTG existed. At AA Custom T-Shirt Printing, we’ve been running screen printing in-house in Las Vegas since 2010 alongside our DTG, DTF, and embroidery operations.
WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?
Screen printing is one of the oldest and most trusted methods in custom apparel. A design is separated into individual color layers, one screen per color. Each screen is coated with a photosensitive emulsion, exposed to UV light, and washed out to create a stencil. Ink is then squeegeed through the mesh onto the garment, one color at a time. The result is thick, vibrant ink that sits on and bonds with the fabric.
The reason screen printing remains the dominant method for bulk orders is simple economics. The setup work creating the screens is a fixed cost spread across the entire run. The more shirts you print, the lower your cost per shirt becomes. A 500-piece run costs a fraction of what a 24-piece run costs per shirt. For any business ordering branded apparel consistently, screen printing is almost always the right long-term choice.
The honest limitation: screen printing works best with solid colors and designs that don’t require photographic detail or gradients. Each color needs its own screen, so designs with many colors or complex blending are better handled by DTG or DTF. We’ll always tell you which method is right before you order.

HOW SCREEN PRINTING PRICING WORKS
Screen printing pricing has two components: a setup cost and a per-shirt cost. The setup cost covers creating the screens one per color in your design. This is a fixed cost regardless of how many shirts you print. The per-shirt cost then drops the more pieces you order.
This is why screen printing becomes more economical the larger your order gets. A 500-shirt run has the same screen setup cost as a 24-shirt run but that cost is spread across 500 shirts instead of 24. For any business planning to reorder the same design consistently, screen printing is the clear long-term value choice.
