SCREEN PRINTING
A design can be printed on a surface using the printing process known as screen printing. Printing textile labels, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, glass bottles, metal cans, and a variety of other materials are all possible with this technique.
A molding or stencil is used while screen printing. This molding or stencil will be placed on a fabric (typically polyester or nylon) stretched into a frame. In order for the design to stay in the blank areas of the template, it is either cut or drilled. Under the surface to be printed is a wooden plate or printing frame.
By applying pressure to the ink on the fabric or material, a tool known as a Racel performs the printing process, transferring the design to the surface. As each color used for printing requires a different stencil and Racel, this process enables the creation of multicolored designs. Compared to other printing methods, screen printing offers some benefits. In high-volume manufacturing, it may be more cost-effective and produce brilliant, long-lasting colors. However, it also has drawbacks like needing a unique template for every color and being constrained by the level of design detail.
Screen printing is often used in the creation of textile labels and enables for detailed designs such as brand name, logo, special designs, and texts on the labels.
