Bold Prints Built for Frequent Wear

Custom screenprinting for t-shirts, hoodies, and team apparel in Wabash, Indiana.

You need printed apparel that holds up through events, practices, and daily use without fading or cracking after a few washes. Custom screenprinting produces bold, durable prints on t-shirts, hoodies, polos, quarter zips, sweatshirts, and group apparel used by teams, schools, and businesses across Wabash. The ink cures into the fabric, creating a finish that stays vibrant even after repeated laundering and wear in conditions typical of workwear or athletic use.

Wabash Engraving Inc provides screenprinting for bulk orders and repeat runs, working with organizations that need consistent branding across uniforms or event shirts. The process involves pressing ink through a mesh screen onto the garment, layer by layer, to build the design. You select garment styles, ink colors, and print placement, and the team handles setup and production. Screenprinting works on t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, workwear, healthcare apparel, golf apparel, dress shirts, visors, sweats, pullovers, and bandanas.

If you are planning apparel for a school event, sports team, or local business in Wabash, request pricing and review garment options to match your budget and timeline.

What Happens During Setup and Production

You provide the design, and the team creates screens for each ink color in your artwork. Garments are loaded onto platens, and ink is applied through the screens one color at a time, then heat-cured to bond the print to the fabric. The process is repeated across your order, whether you are printing two dozen shirts for a fundraiser in Wabash or outfitting a larger group for a seasonal event.

After printing, you receive apparel with graphics that sit slightly raised on the fabric and remain bold through machine washing and regular wear. The ink does not peel or crack the way vinyl transfers can, and colors stay true without fading. The print becomes part of the garment rather than sitting on top of it, which helps it hold up over time.

Setup includes preparing screens and mixing inks to match your brand colors or selected Pantone shades. Turnaround depends on order size and whether your design requires multiple colors or placement on both the front and back of the garment. Larger orders often qualify for better per-unit pricing, and repeat orders using the same screens can be produced more quickly since setup is already complete.

Most groups want to know about costs and timing

These are the questions that come up most often when schools, teams, and businesses in Wabash are planning custom screenprinted apparel orders.

What is the minimum order size for custom screenprinting?
You typically need to order at least twelve to twenty-four garments to make screenprinting cost-effective, since setup involves creating screens for each color. Smaller orders may be better suited to other printing methods.
How long does screenprinted ink last on t-shirts?
Screenprinted ink cures into the fabric and lasts through hundreds of washes when garments are laundered inside-out in cold water. The print does not peel or fade the way heat transfers or vinyl often do.
How many colors can be included in a screenprinted design?
You can include as many colors as your design requires, but each color adds a screen and increases setup cost. Most group orders use one to three colors to keep pricing manageable.
What is the turnaround time for a bulk screenprinting order?
Turnaround depends on order size and the number of colors in your design. Most orders are completed within two weeks once garments and artwork are finalized, but rush timelines may be available.
Can I mix garment styles in one screenprinting order?
Yes, you can order a mix of t-shirts, hoodies, and other styles as long as the print placement and design are the same across all items. The team will confirm setup requirements before starting production.
