What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is the oldest and most-established method of applying a custom design to fabric. Ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen — one screen per color — directly onto the garment. Bright, saturated, dramatically more durable than any digital method over years of washing.
How the Screen Printing Process Works
Design separated into individual colors, one screen per color, design burned into light-sensitive emulsion. Each garment loaded onto platen, screens aligned in sequence, squeegee pulls ink through mesh, flash-cure between colors, final cure at ~320°F on conveyor dryer. 100+ wash cycles.
Screen Printing vs DTF
DTF (direct-to-film) transfers win under 40–50 pieces, on mixed-garment orders, and on photographic art. Screen wins above 25–50 pieces of the same design, on long-term wash durability, and on simple 1–4 color designs at any volume above 12.
Screen Printing vs DTG
DTG (direct-to-garment) wins on 1–15 pieces, full-color/photographic art on cotton light garments, and rush turnaround. Screen wins on 25+ pieces, per-shirt cost at higher volumes, and color intensity.
Screen Printing vs Embroidery
Embroidery stitches your logo into the garment — wins on polos, jackets, caps, high-friction wear, and premium look. Screen wins on t-shirts, hoodies, athletic wear, and larger design sizes.
Screen Printing for Miami Businesses
Because our delivery routes hit Wynwood, Brickell, Downtown and Miami Beach daily, our Miami screen printing customers are the ones running deadline-driven event and corporate orders where 200-plus matching shirts have to be right and on time. Three categories dominate our Miami volume: Miami Beach Convention Center exhibitor and trade-show apparel, PortMiami cruise-group and family-reunion sailings, and Brickell corporate plus Wynwood event plus film-production crews.
Miami Beach Convention Center & Trade Show Exhibitors
Miami Beach Convention Center runs one of the country's densest trade-show calendars, and screen-printed exhibitor staff apparel is our steady work here. Typical order profiles: small booth 25–50 shirts, mid-size booth 75–200 shirts, major activation 300–1,000+ shirts across staff tiers. The design is usually the corporate brand or a show-specific creative, in 1–4 colors, on cotton or tri-blend tees or polos.
Because exhibitor calendars are tight (art often approved 10–14 days before show setup), we quote turnaround honestly against the show date and confirm feasibility before starting. Rush production is available on most Convention Center orders. Delivery direct to the booth staging area at Convention Center loading dock coordinated the day before setup.
PortMiami Cruise Groups & Family Reunion Sailings
PortMiami's Terminal E and Terminal F sail dozens of departures a month, and matching apparel for cruise groups is standard: family reunions boarding a 4-night cruise want the matching tee for 40–80 relatives, bachelorette groups want matching tees, corporate incentive trips want branded cruise-week apparel. Screen printing serves the 25+ piece cruise-group orders where the design is set and the quantity is fixed.
Timing is the critical constraint: cruise apparel has to be ready before sailing day. We quote turnaround against sailing date and confirm feasibility before starting. Delivery direct to PortMiami on sailing day — meeting the group at Terminal E or F — is available for time-sensitive orders.
Brickell Corporate, Wynwood Events & Film Production Crews
Three more Miami order types round out our steady screen printing volume. Brickell corporate: tech and finance staff apparel for team days, off-sites, product launches, and company-branded internal merch — typically 40–150 shirts on a first order with reorder cycles as headcount grows. Wynwood events: gallery openings, art fair staff, brand activations at Wynwood Walls and along NW 2nd Avenue, event-tier apparel typically 50–300 shirts.
Film and media production: production crews on location shoots use screen-printed shirts for cast and crew tiers, wrap party gifts, and department-specific shirts. Miami's film production activity generates steady rush-order volume — always tight deadlines, always paid promptly.

Pricing, Quantities & Turnaround for Miami
Screen printing has a fixed setup cost per screen that spreads across the order. Under 12 shirts, DTG or DTF is usually cheaper. At 12–25 shirts, screen and DTF are within a few dollars. At 25–50 shirts, screen pulls ahead. At 50+ shirts, screen dominates — often 40–60% cheaper than DTF at 100 pieces, 60%+ at 200 pieces. For Convention Center exhibitor orders at 200+ shirts, screen is dramatically cheaper.
Standard turnaround. First-time orders 5–7 business days from proof approval. Reorders on existing screens: 3–5 business days. Larger orders (200+ pieces, common for Miami convention work): 7–10 business days.

Screen Printing in Miami — frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for screen printing?
There is no hard minimum, but screen printing becomes cost-effective at about 12 shirts and dramatically better at 25+. For 1–11 shirts of the same design, DTG or DTF is usually the better call. We tell you honestly at quote time which method fits your order.
How many ink colors can you print?
Up to 6 spot colors on most orders. Each color requires its own screen and setup, so cost climbs per color — but the print itself is unbeatable for durability and color intensity. For photographic or gradient artwork, we usually recommend DTG or DTF instead.
How does screen printing pricing scale with quantity?
There's a fixed setup cost per screen (roughly $25–$40 per color) that gets spread across your order. That's why per-shirt price drops steeply as quantity climbs. At 25 shirts a 2-color print typically runs $8–$14 per shirt; at 100 shirts the same design runs $5–$9; at 250 shirts, $4–$7. Send your exact garment and quantity for a real quote.
How long do screen printing prints last?
Properly-cured plastisol ink outlasts the shirt itself — 100+ wash cycles without noticeable fading is standard. Wash inside-out on cold and tumble-dry on low for maximum longevity. Do not iron directly over the print.
Can you screen print for HOAs and building events in Miami?
Yes — HOA board shirts and building event tees for towers in Golden Isles, Three Islands, and along the beach are one of our regular Miami accounts. We keep artwork and screens on file for repeat orders and typically turn reorders in 3–5 business days. Delivery to your building or free pickup at the shop, your choice.
Can you screen print team uniforms with player numbers for Miami schools and leagues?
Yes — youth league and school team uniforms with numbered backs are a large part of our Miami screen printing volume. Numbers print at the press, not as a separate add-on, so quantity pricing stays predictable. We coordinate with league and school administrators on rosters, sizes, and start-of-season deadlines. Rush turnaround is available for season starts.
