Silk screening applications

Specialist print production for branded and practical business applications

Silk screening can support a range of repeat and custom print requirements. The suitability of the item, material, print area, artwork and quantity should be assessed together before the production method is confirmed.

01

Branded business applications

Company logos, wording or graphic elements can be screen printed onto suitable items or materials where branding forms part of the finished physical requirement.

Useful for: business branding and custom company applications
02

Promotional applications

Silk screening can be considered for suitable promotional pieces where a repeated logo, message or graphic needs to form part of a campaign or branded activation.

Useful for: promotions, events and campaign material
03

Identification & information print

Text, numbering, branding or other information can be assessed for suitable items and components where clear printed identification forms part of the finished requirement.

Useful for: identification, information and operational applications
04

Campaign production

Where the same campaign artwork needs to be reproduced across a quantity of suitable items, silk screening can form part of the wider production requirement.

Useful for: branded campaigns and coordinated production runs

The process can be considered where a consistent logo, graphic or information element needs to be reproduced across multiple suitable pieces as part of one production job.

Useful for: recurring or quantity-based production requirements

Custom specialist jobs

If the requirement falls outside a standard category, send DSP the item or material, dimensions, artwork, print position and quantity so the most suitable production approach can be assessed.

Planning the silk screening job

Start with the item, print area and quantity

A silk screening enquiry is easier to assess when DSP can see what needs to be printed, where the artwork needs to appear and how many pieces are required. The item, dimensions, artwork and intended use all help shape the production setup.

01

Item or material

Explain what needs to be printed and provide a clear photograph or sample where practical. The specific item or material needs to be considered before the production method is confirmed.

02

Overall dimensions

Provide the approximate dimensions of the item, panel or piece so DSP can understand the physical format and how the artwork needs to fit within it.

03

Required print area

Show where the logo, wording or graphic needs to appear and provide the approximate print dimensions where known. A marked-up photograph can be useful for explaining the required position.

04

Artwork & brand material

Send the best available logo, graphic, wording or existing artwork. DSP's in-house design team can help prepare or adapt the layout around the confirmed production requirement where needed.

05

Quantity

Let DSP know the number of pieces required and whether the same artwork will be repeated across the entire job or whether different versions are needed.

06

Intended use

Explain how the finished printed item will be used and whether it forms part of a business, promotional, campaign or specialist production requirement.

Only have the item and an idea of what needs to be printed? Send DSP a photograph or description together with the approximate dimensions, quantity and wording or logo. The team can help establish what artwork and production information is still required.

    The artwork position, dimensions, quantity and practical setup are confirmed before the screened production run begins.
