T-shirt printing

We're open and honest about our pricing system to help you choose what's right for you. You can read on for full details or contact us for a tailored quote.

Screen printing gives high quality, durable results. We screen print by hand onto T-shirts and tote bags using waterbased inks that contain no harmful ingredients at all.

Prices

Add together the following prices (screen prep, garment prices, screen printing & delivery), as appropriate. Please add 17.5% VAT to the total.

Or supply your own garments

Please add a 25p per garment handling charge. Make sure that the printable area is completely flat (no seams) and one layer of fabric only. The garment should be heat resistant and we must be able to stretch it over our printing boards for screen printing. Check with us first to be sure. Please supply between 1 and 5 extra garments (depending on the size of the print run) so that we have spares for the job.

Delivery

Delivery by next-day courier service costs £15 (plus VAT) to anywhere in the UK for a box of garments up to 15kg (one box can take up to around 100 T-shirts). You can come to the studio to collect if you prefer.

Samples

If you want to see unprinted sample garments or a sample of our printed work, please email us. We do sometimes print samples for clients. If you're interested in obtaining a sample garment please email us with details so that we can provide a tailored quote.

Printing extras

We can do:

  • length-wise colour blending
  • Glow-in-the-dark prints
  • Gold and silver prints

We don't do:

  • colour changes within one print run.

Turnaround

Currently around 1-2 weeks from receipt of artwork and deposit. It does vary though so place your order as early as you are able. Let us know if you have a specific deadline to meet and we'll do our best to help you.
