Silkscreen stickers

Screen printing involves an initial set-up cost per colour, whereas digital printing does not. Once you reach a certain quantity, that one-off cost is no longer offset by the lower price per item, and from that point onwards, screen printing is the most cost-effective option. That threshold shifts downwards if your design has few colours and upwards if it has many. Send us your design and the quantity required, and you can then compare the two prices side by side.

Screen printing works with solid areas of colour, and each colour is printed using a separate screen. It is therefore better to create a photograph or a gradient digitally. Logos, line art and text are, however, the greatest strengths of screen printing.

Yes. The ink is colour-matched for your print run, so all the stickers come from the same batch. Silver, gold, fluorescent and glow-in-the-dark colours are also available.

Dry – so without soap and water. If, when applying it, things don’t go as expected, one of our staff members will explain the best way to proceed.

That depends on the type of vinyl we print on, not on the printing technique. Monomeric vinyl is designed for flat surfaces and short-term use, whilst polymeric vinyl lasts longer and can be applied to slightly curved surfaces. There is also a protective laminate available for both short-term and long-term use.

The difference lies in the technique and, consequently, in the pricing structure. A digitally printed sticker is a viable option from as little as one piece and can handle any image. Screen printing only becomes viable for larger print runs, but it then delivers a uniform colour that remains consistent throughout the entire run.

Yes. Rectangular, with rounded corners, or a shape cut to match your design – anything is possible. Text and logos can also be cut out and peeled away, with application film over the top so that you can apply them in a single movement.

For a print run, you usually apply them yourself, and they stick on quite easily when dry. If the stickers need to be applied on site to vehicles, building façades or equipment, our own installation team will visit you as agreed.

Screen printing is not included in the ordering module, as the price depends on the number of colours and the print run. Please provide your design, the number of colours and the print run, and we will calculate the cost for you.

Screen printing requires a separate screen for each colour, and the set-up cost is only charged once. For runs of around a hundred items or fewer, digital printing is usually cheaper; above that, the balance shifts. We’ll work out the costs for both options and let you know which one comes out on top.

Limited by the screen size, so screen printing remains smaller than digital printing. For a large image in a corporate colour, we sometimes combine the two: digital printing for the background, screen printing for the logo.
