Is Screen Printing The Best Choice For Custom T-Shirts In Brisbane?

Screen printing is one of the most durable and cost-effective ways to create custom t-shirts, especially when you need the same design across multiple garments for your Brisbane business, club, school, or event. By pushing ink through a mesh screen directly onto fabric, it produces bold colours and long-lasting prints that hold up to frequent washing and regular wear. This makes it ideal for uniforms, promotional tees, and merchandise where consistency and professional quality really matter.

For medium to large orders, screen printing becomes more affordable as setup costs are spread across more shirts, significantly reducing the cost per shirt compared with one-off or very small runs. You can choose from 1 colour, multi-colour, plastisol or water-based inks, and get guidance on the best option for your design and deadline. If your job is small or highly detailed, DTG or DTF digital printing may be recommended instead, with clear comparison pages and FAQs to help you decide.

Screen printing is widely used across many industries and events, including:

  • Sporting clubs and teams
  • Corporate uniforms and staff shirts
  • Schools and community groups
  • Events, festivals, and promotions
  • Trades and workwear branding

Because of its durability and consistency, screen printing is often chosen for shirts that will be worn regularly.

Limitations of Screen Printing

While screen printing is excellent for bulk orders, it does have limitations.
