Screen Printed Labels

Bold Colors and High-Opacity Screen Printing

Custom screen printed labels belong to the printed label category. The market also uses the term silk screen labels for these products. During production, ink passes through a patterned mesh screen and transfers directly onto the label material. Each color usually requires a separate screen.

Screen printing creates a thicker ink layer than many conventional printing methods. This gives screen printed labels vivid spot colors and strong coverage on dark, transparent or specialty materials.

Custom screen printed labels work well for brand logos, solid-color graphics, text, names, numbers and safety warnings that need long-lasting clarity.

What Can We Print?

Custom screen printed labels can include:
  • Brand name and logo
  • Product name and model
  • Sizes, names and numbers
  • Fiber content and basic care information symbols
  • Operating instructions
  • Safety warnings
  • Equipment identification
  • Other product information

Product Features

1. Vivid Colors and High Opacity

Screen printing deposits a thick layer of ink onto the label surface. This produces bold, solid colors and strong coverage, even on dark or transparent materials.

2. Accurate Spot Colors

The screen printing process works well with brand spot colors, Pantone colors, solid color blocks and high-contrast graphics. Careful color matching and production control help maintain consistent brand colors across different batches.

3. Wash and Abrasion Resistance

By pairing the right material, ink and curing method, we can produce wash-resistant, abrasion-resistant or weather-resistant labels for clothing, workwear and industrial products.

 

The intended use affects actual durability. We therefore select and test the material and ink according to the washing method, working environment and expected product life.

4. Wide Range of Materials

Customers can choose from:

  • Fabric materials: satin, cotton, polyester and nylon
  • Film materials: PVC, PET, polycarbonate and other synthetic substrates
  • Rigid materials: metal, glass and other surfaces suitable for screen printing

Each material requires compatible ink, surface preparation and curing conditions.

5. Clear Text and Graphics

Screen printed fabric labels can reproduce logos, clear text and simple graphics with accurate proportions. They can also produce smaller text and cleaner lines than many woven label constructions.

 

Screen printed labels work best with a limited number of spot colors and solid artwork. Digital printed labels or heat transfer labels usually suit photographs, complex gradients and designs with many colors better.

Applications

Custom screen printed labels suit:

  • Brand labels for T-shirts, hoodies and casual clothing
  • Name and number labels for workwear, uniforms and team apparel
  • Screen printed care labels, size labels and logo labels
  • Labels for footwear, hats, bags and outdoor products
  • Instruction labels for electronic products
  • Safety warning labels for containers, tools and equipment
  • Industrial screen printed labels that require high opacity or abrasion resistance requirements.
