The Craftsmanship Behind Screen Printing

Screen printing, a time-honoured technique, forms the foundation of our craft. This intricate process employs a fine mesh with a design stretched over a frame, allowing for the transfer of diverse images onto garments, paper, and even wood. Originating in ancient China and later gaining popularity in Europe with the advent of silk mesh, this technique – sometimes referred to as silk-screening – has a rich history. Surprisingly, one of Andy Warhol’s iconic multicoloured Marilyn Monroe pieces is a product of screen printing.

Our process begins with your approval of the visual design for the back of your leavers hoodie, which our skilled designers create. This sets the stage for screen setup. Depending on the design intricacy, we utilise varying degrees of mesh density for each screen. Our use of photo-reactive emulsion allows us to solidify your design on a screen. Subsequently, an inverted version is transferred onto one of our machines. Colour is then mixed, applied onto the screen, and squeegee-d onto each hoodie. The final step involves curing the ink onto the fabric, completing the screen printing process.

Personalised Touches: Vinyl and Embroidery

While screen printing excels for uniform designs, personalised nicknames on each hoodie are brought to life using vinyl and a heat press. Vinyl pieces, containing individual names, are precisely cut, placed on the hoodie, and pressed using heat and pressure. This technique guarantees unique personalisation for each leavers hoodie, though it requires additional time for larger orders.

Embroidery is the third avenue of personalisation we offer. For intricate logos of your school or university, we source high-quality images online, which we then digitise into a format compatible with our embroidery machines. For intricate logos, this process can take up to an hour or more, highlighting the dedication we invest in every detail.

In conclusion, leavers’ hoodies hold a special place in everyone’s heart. However, understanding the meticulous care and effort infused into each personalised hoodie elevates it to a treasured memento, commemorating a significant milestone in your journey.
