Custom Screen Printing for Businesses, Teams & Events
Need custom shirts that look consistent, hold up to regular wear, and make your organization recognizable? Anton Sport helps businesses, schools, teams, and event organizers plan screen-printed apparel around their design, quantity, budget, and deadline.
What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a method of applying ink to fabric through a prepared mesh screen. Each color in a design is typically printed separately, and the ink is cured so the finished graphic is ready for everyday use.
The process is especially effective when the same artwork is repeated across multiple garments. Once the artwork and screens are prepared, a production run can deliver a consistent look from shirt to shirt.
Screen printing works well on many common cotton and cotton-blend T-shirts, sweatshirts, and other compatible garments. The best ink and printing approach depend on fabric, artwork, and intended use.
Why Companies Choose Screen Printing
Consistent branding
Put the same logo, message, or event design on shirts for an entire crew, team, or organization.
Strong value at quantity
Setup is spread across the order, so screen printing is often an economical choice for larger runs of the same design.
Built for repeat wear
Properly selected and cured inks create durable prints suitable for work shirts, spiritwear, and event merchandise.
Clear, bold artwork
Logos, lettering, and graphic designs can print with strong, recognizable color and detail when prepared appropriately.
Options across garments
Coordinate staff tees, event shirts, hoodies, and other compatible apparel using a shared visual identity.
Local project guidance
Work with an experienced Tempe team that can review garments, placements, artwork, and timelines before production.
What Is Screen Printing Best For?
Company & crew shirts
Matching shirts for landscaping, construction, hospitality, retail, and other customer-facing or field teams.
Events & fundraisers
Volunteer shirts, charity walks, conferences, community events, and merchandise for supporters.
Schools, clubs & teams
Spiritwear, camps, clubs, tournaments, and coordinated group apparel.
For a small quantity, photographic artwork, or many different designs, another decoration method may be a better fit. We’ll help compare options rather than recommend screen printing automatically.
Our Screen Printing Process
Tell us about your project
Share garment type, estimated quantities by size, artwork, desired print locations, budget, and the date you need everything in hand.
Review shirts, artwork & pricing
We help identify suitable garments and review the design for print size, colors, placement, and any artwork preparation needed. Your quote reflects the actual project specifications.
Approve the final details
Before production, confirm the garment selection, quantities, decoration details, and artwork proof or other approval materials provided for your order.
Prepare screens & print
Artwork is separated as needed, screens are prepared, ink is applied to the garments, and prints are cured using the appropriate production settings.
Quality check & delivery
Finished pieces are reviewed, counted, and prepared for pickup or shipment according to the arrangements for your order.
What Affects Screen Printing Cost?
There isn’t one universal price per shirt. The biggest variables are garment style, total quantity, number of print colors, number and size of print locations, artwork readiness, and deadline.
Printing the same design across more shirts generally improves the per-piece economics. Additional colors or placements may add preparation and production steps.
Practical tip: If you have a target budget, share it with us. We can help balance shirt quality, design complexity, and quantity.
How to Get the Best Results
Start with clear artwork
Vector files are preferred when available. If you only have a PNG or JPEG, send it and we’ll review whether it can be used or needs preparation.
Choose the right fabric
Fabric weight, blend, color, and intended use affect how a print looks and feels. A lightweight event tee may call for a different choice than daily crew apparel.
Keep placement intentional
Left chest, full front, full back, and sleeve designs serve different purposes. Consider how the garment will be worn and viewed.
Screen Printing vs. Other Decoration Methods
Screen printing: A strong choice for repeating the same design across a group of garments, particularly with bold graphics and practical order quantities.
Full-color transfers / FlexPrint: Often useful for detailed multicolor artwork or smaller mixed runs, depending on garment and design requirements.
Embroidery: Adds stitched texture and a polished look to polos, hats, jackets, and professional apparel.

Screen Printing FAQs
Is screen printing good for company uniforms?
Yes. It’s commonly used for coordinated employee shirts, workwear, and branded apparel. Garment selection and print placement should reflect the work environment and how often shirts will be worn.
Is there a minimum order?
Screen printing typically requires a minimum of 12 pieces, but Anton Sport can customize as few as one item using other decoration methods. Larger quantities generally offer better per-piece pricing. Tell us how many you need, and we’ll help you choose the best option.
Can you print multiple colors?
Yes. Multicolor designs are possible. Each color typically requires additional preparation, so the number of colors can affect pricing and production.
Can I supply my own shirts?
Ask us before purchasing outside garments. Customer-supplied items require a compatibility and production review, and may be subject to different terms.
What files should I send?
Vector artwork is ideal, but send what you have. Include the intended design size and location if known. Our team can review the file and explain any preparation needed.
How long does screen printing take?
Plan for approximately 10 business days in typical circumstances after final approval, subject to product availability and production scheduling. Ask about your specific deadline before placing the order.
Do you work with businesses outside Tempe?
Yes. Anton Sport serves businesses and organizations throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, the surrounding Valley, and beyond. Pickup and shipping arrangements depend on the order.
