Why Screen Printing Still Works Wonders in 2025

If you’re looking for a printing method that gives bold colours, lasts for years, and works on almost anything, screen printing is still one of the best options around. It’s a technique that’s been used for decades, but don’t let that fool you — it remains one of the most reliable and popular ways to print on t-shirts, bags, posters, and more.

At East London Printer, we’ve helped clients all over the UK create eye-catching prints that not only look great, but also stand the test of time. Whether you’re a small business, an artist, or organising an event, screen printing might be exactly what you need.

What Is Screen Printing?

Screen printing is an innovative, cost-effective printing technique. This method involves pushing ink through a mesh screen with your design burned into it – only where intended, creating an unblemished, sharp image. Each colour in your design must be printed separately using individual screens for best results.

Manual processes produce stunning, long-term results.

Why Choose Screen Printing?

There are many reasons why people still choose screen printing, even with modern digital options available.

Durable Prints

Screen printing utilizes thick inks that sit nicely atop fabric for printing, which means your prints won’t quickly fade with multiple washes and retain their vivid colours for many washes to come.

Great for Bulk Orders

Screen printing is the ideal method for mass producing T-shirts, tote bags and hoodies at once. Once screens have been created for mass-producing multiple items at the same time.

Strong Colour and Detail

Screen printing produces vibrant colours that really pop off the page, perfect for logos, bold text, and other simple artwork – looking professional when done properly!

Versatile

Screen printing can be applied to many surfaces besides clothing – paper, card and wood being among them – making it an extremely flexible technique that offers multiple uses.

Who Uses Screen Printing?

Screen printing is used by all sorts of people and businesses. Here are just a few examples:

• Small businesses wanting to add their logo to uniforms or merch

• Artists and designers creating custom prints for their followers

• Event organisers printing t-shirts or bags for giveaways

• Schools and clubs making team or leavers’ gear

• Charities and campaigns creating promo items that stand out

Whatever the goal, screen printing delivers results that are both beautiful and built to last.
