What is Silk-Screen Printing?

Screen printing is one of the most popular printing techniques used amongst a vast range of companies for printing designs onto various products. The screen printing process has been around for a long time and has evolved from simple stencilling to a complete merchanised printing method. Most often, the process is used for printing onto posters, fabrics and packaging. However, it has been adapted to a larger variety of items as the technique is much more advanced today.

It has been used for more than 100 years in the commercial and artistic sector and is mainly used for printing images and designs on T-shirts, tote bags, paper, wood, ceramics and other materials.

There are different types of silk-screen printing, depending on the aim and the printing process used. Among them, we can find serigraphy for the graphic design sector, serigraphy for the art sector and textile printing, which is what interests us most.

Screen printing is optimal for creating an increase in brand awareness through the use of different promotional products.
