Printed Apparel That Holds Up to Daily Wear
Our custom screen printing service is built for garments that are worn often and washed regularly. It is suited to t-shirts, golf shirts, hoodies, safety wear, uniforms and event apparel where you need strong branding across a full run. Screen printing gives a dense ink deposit, which helps the artwork show clearly on light and dark fabrics, even when the design is simple or highly detailed.
We work with cotton, polycotton and many blended fabrics, depending on the garment and the finish you need. For outdoor use, sports kits and workwear in Bloemfontein or further afield, we help you choose the right print area, ink type and colour placement so the final item matches the purpose of the order. This service is often chosen for batch orders because it keeps the look consistent across dozens or hundreds of pieces.
- Suitable for shirts, uniforms, hoodies, caps and event wear
- Works well for single-colour logos and multi-colour designs
- Good option for repeat orders and team issue clothing
What Is Included in the Printing Service
Every order starts with the artwork and garment details. We check print size, placement, fabric type and colour counts before production begins. If you need help with set-up, our artwork team prepares the file for screen work and checks whether the design will print cleanly at the size you want. We also assist with colour matching so your logo, text or school mark stays consistent across future orders.
The service can include bagging, sorting by size, and separating garments per department, class, team or branch. That matters when orders go to schools in Botshabelo, sporting groups in Thaba Nchu, or businesses sending uniforms to several sites. Couriered orders are packed carefully, and we can organise nationwide delivery from our Bloemfontein base.
- Artwork setup and file checking
- Colour matching for logos and text
- Size sorting and individual bagging
- Bulk packing for courier dispatch
How the Process Works From Enquiry to Dispatch
You start by sending your request through the enquiry form on our contact page. We then confirm the garment type, print position, quantity and artwork details. If you already have a print-ready file, we review it for size and clarity. If not, we help prepare the artwork so it is suitable for screen production. Clear artwork saves time and helps avoid mistakes on the first run.
Once the proof and quote are approved, production moves through screen preparation, ink matching, printing, drying and final inspection. Each order is checked before packing, with attention to print alignment and colour consistency. Willem handles quality control, while Kagiso oversees dispatch so couriered parcels leave the floor correctly labelled. For bigger runs, we recommend confirming sizes early, especially if the order includes mixed fits for adults and children.
- Submit enquiry and garment details
- Approve quote and artwork check
- Screen setup and print production
- Drying, quality check and dispatch
Turnaround Times and Order Planning
Turnaround depends on garment type, quantity, number of colours and whether artwork needs adjustments. Small runs can move faster, while bulk school or corporate orders need more planning time for sorting and packing. We always factor in production capacity, courier lead times and peak periods such as school term starts, sports fixtures and year-end event season. If your order is tied to a launch or function, it helps to place it early so there is time for sign-off and any size changes.
Bloemfontein weather can also affect planning, especially in colder months when drying times need to be managed properly. We keep the process practical and advise on realistic lead times instead of guessing. For couriered orders going to Welkom, Bethlehem, Kroonstad or Parys, transport time is added to the production schedule. Nationwide delivery is available, but please allow extra days for remote areas and peak courier periods.
- Small runs usually move faster than bulk orders
- Artwork approvals can affect the start date
- Courier timing is included in the schedule
- Urgent jobs should be discussed upfront
Pricing Based on Quantity, Colours and Garment Type
Screen printing pricing is usually driven by three main factors: quantity, number of ink colours and garment type. Larger quantities often give better per-unit value because the screen setup is spread across more pieces. A single-colour logo on standard cotton tees is usually the most economical option, while multiple print positions or specialised garments can cost more. If you are ordering for staff uniforms, school events or a launch campaign, we can often help you compare a few layout options before production starts.
We keep quotes clear and practical. If there are costs for artwork correction, special sizing, size sorting, individual bagging or courier delivery, these are shown upfront. That way you can budget properly for a 20 piece run or a few hundred items without surprises. For businesses in Hamilton or nearby areas such as Bloemfontein central and Botshabelo, collection can be arranged when suitable, while courier remains available for the rest of the country.
Care Advice for Longer Print Life
Printed garments last longer when they are washed and stored correctly. We recommend turning items inside out before washing, using cold or lukewarm water and avoiding harsh bleach. High heat in tumble dryers can shorten the life of printed areas, especially on stretch fabrics or softer knits. If the garment is used in a dusty work environment or exposed to coastal humidity on transit routes, it should be dried fully before packing away.
For repeat orders, it helps to keep one sample aside as a reference. That makes future reprints easier when you need the same logo, size or colour placement again. Schools and businesses that reorder each term or each quarter often save time by keeping a record of approved sizes and garment types. If you need maintenance intervals for a uniform programme, we can advise on how often to refresh stock based on wear rates, washing frequency and staff turnover.
- Wash inside out in cold or lukewarm water
- Avoid bleach and strong stain removers on the print
- Do not iron directly over printed areas
- Keep a sample for future reorders
