Overview
Experience and process control at production scale.
Contract screen printing is a major part of the Impress Designs operation, but it is not the only way customers work with the team. The same production systems support direct brands, distributors, managed programs, and established organizations with recurring or high-volume requirements.
Impress Designs began printing apparel in 1977. The current operation connects production-aware artwork, separations, laser-to-screen exposure, printing, quality control, finishing, and distribution under one accountable team.
The process is selected around the garment, artwork, color requirements, run size, end use, and repeatability the program requires. Standard spot-color work and high-detail process printing are evaluated differently because the right result starts before an order reaches the press.
Capabilities & scope
A complete screen-printing capability set.
Production buyers can evaluate the methods, controls, applications, and related finishing work together rather than treating each printing technique as an isolated service.
Simulated process
Photographic-style reproduction on dark garments using an underbase and a multi-color separation, commonly eight or more colors.
Four-color process
CMYK process printing for photographic work on white garments, with spot colors available where solid coverage improves the finished graphic.
Water-based and discharge
Soft-hand printing options used for retail-oriented garments. Discharge removes garment dye to create an especially soft result and requires fabric-specific evaluation.
Oversized and non-textile work
Special-format jobs and select non-textile substrates can be evaluated. Rigid vinyl, coated paper, card stock, synthetic stocks, styrene, and plastics require samples, testing, and production approval.
Tagless neck labels
Full custom and vanity-label approaches can combine garment relabeling with direct printing while preserving required size, care, fiber, and RN information.
Multiple imprint sizes
Adult, youth, and other artwork sizes require separate production files and screens. Program planning can coordinate those versions under one purchase-order strategy.
Laser-to-screen exposure
Direct laser-to-screen exposure removes film and carrier-sheet steps before press setup, supporting controlled output and registration.
Automatic screen reclaim
Automatic reclaim equipment supports in-house screen cleaning and preparation as part of the repeat-production workflow.
Operating model
What enterprise production planning covers.
- 01
Review the garment, artwork, placements, quantities, size range, deadline, and destination requirements.
- 02
Select the print method, ink system, separations, underbase strategy, and screen specifications.
- 03
Confirm samples or approvals where the material, artwork, or application requires testing.
- 04
Schedule production, quality control, finishing, packing, and distribution as one connected order.
Requirements & controls
Important production considerations
- Process selection depends on garment color, fabric content, artwork, run size, and desired hand.
- Non-textile substrates are accepted only after sample and artwork evaluation.
- Alternative imprint sizes are separate production files even when the artwork appears identical.
- Repeatability depends on approved artwork, products, colors, placements, and documented program rules.
Customer fit
A strong fit for
- Contract decorators and promotional-products distributors
- Large brand and retail programs
- Complex multi-color and photographic artwork
- Repeat programs requiring consistent execution
- Orders that continue into finishing, packing, or fulfillment
