What Makes Screen Printing a Smart Choice for Teams

Screen printing lays down bold, solid color that holds up through repeated washes and daily wear, which is part of why it's a go-to choice for team apparel and event shirts. As a screen printing company built around corporate and bulk orders, AZ CAP Co focuses on getting your logo looking sharp across every piece in your run, not just the first one off the press.

This is built for team, department, and company-wide orders rather than single pieces. If your group needs matching gear for a shared event or an ongoing program, screen printing is one of the most dependable ways to get there.

What Custom Screen Printing Costs

Pricing for screen printing comes down mainly to three things: how many colors are in your design, how many locations you’re printing, and how many shirts you’re ordering. Each color requires its own screen, and adding another print location, like a design on the back or sleeve, adds another step to the process. Both can increase the cost per piece. On the other hand, large quantities generally bring that per piece cost down because the set up gets spread across more shirts.

How the Process Works

Every order runs through a proof-first process, so nothing goes into production until you've had a chance to review the details and give us the green light.
1
Share your logo and order details
Send over your artwork, the products you're interested in, and a rough quantity to get things started. Vector artwork is preferred for screen printing, but if you're not sure what kind of file you have, send us what you've got and we'll take a look.
2
Review your proof
You'll see the proposed size, placement, colors, and overall layout of your design before production begins.
3
Approve and move to production
Once everything looks right and you've signed off on the proof, your order can move forward.
4
Production and delivery
Most decorated apparel orders are completed in about 10 to 14 business days after proof approval, although timing can vary depending on the order and product availability.
That last part is worth keeping in mind when you're working toward a deadline. The production timeline starts after your proof is approved, not when you first ask for a quote or place the order. Reviewing your proof promptly is one of the easiest ways to help keep everything on schedule.

Order Minimum and When DTF Makes More Sense

The threshold for a one-color print sits at 24 pieces. Preparing screens takes real setup work no matter the order size, which is why screen printing fits team and bulk orders better than small or single-item requests.If your run is smaller, or your design has fine detail, gradients, or a lot of colors, DTF printing is usually the better route. It has a lower minimum and handles detailed artwork more easily than screen printing can. The team can help you figure out which method fits your logo and order size best before you commit to either one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me choose the right products for my industry or brand?
Yes. Whether you’re just developing your brand or expanding into new markets, we’ll guide you through product selection based on your goals, budget, and industry. From durable workwear and retail-inspired apparel to promo essentials and signage, we recommend options that help your business look polished, professional, and consistent as you grow.
I don’t have formal brand guidelines. Can you still match colors?
Absolutely. If you don’t have established guidelines, we’ll color-match to your existing products or digital assets as accurately as possible using Pantone standards. We also document the Pantone colors used for your orders, ensuring consistent branding and easy reordering as you grow.
What are some good starter items if I’m new to branded products?
Needs will vary depending on your business or brand but popular starter options include polos, hats, and signage with a few promo goods like stickers or tumblers.  Our team can help you put together a simpler, cohesive starter kit that gives your business a polished, professional look from day one.
Do you offer design help or logo adjustments?
Yes. We can refine your artwork for clarity, convert it to vector format, or prepare it for print or embroidery. This ensures your logo looks sharp across all products.  Depending on the required amount of artwork adjustments additional fees may apply.
I need branded items quickly, can you help?
Our standard turnaround time for most items is 10-14 business days.  We offer several fast-turn options depending on the item and decoration method. Let us know your timeline, and we’ll recommend the best products to meet your deadline without compromising quality.
What's the smallest order you can place for custom screen printing?
Screen printing orders start at 24 pieces for a one-color design. Preparing screens takes real setup time no matter how big or small your order is, which is why screen printing tends to work best once you're ordering for a group rather than a single shirt. If your count is under 24, or your artwork has a lot of fine detail, DTF printing is usually the better fit and starts at a lower quantity.
How long does custom screen printing take?
Most orders are completed in 10 – 14 business days after proof approval. Getting your proof reviewed and signed off quickly is the best way to keep your project on schedule, since production doesn't begin until that approval comes through.
What affects the cost of a screen printing order?
Cost comes down mainly to three factors: your color count, number of print locations, and your order size. Each additional color and print location requires its own screen, which adds setup time and cost.
When should I choose DTF instead of screen printing?
DTF tends to be the better choice for smaller runs or designs with fine detail, gradients, or a high number of colors, since it doesn't require a separate screen for each color. Screen printing works well for bulk orders.
What's the process for placing a custom screen printing order?
Send over your logo and a rough sense of order size on the AZ CAP Co contact page, and you'll hear back with product and pricing options. Production kicks off once you've signed off on your proof, with most orders produced 10 – 14 business days after approval.
