Custom Screen Printing
Bold colors. Soft hand feel. Prints that last. From simple one-color logos to complex multi-color designs, we deliver premium screen printing that makes your brand stand out.
Custom screen printing, also called silkscreen printing, presses ink through a fine mesh screen onto fabric, one screen per color, then cures it at high temperature so the print bonds permanently with the garment. Merch Unlimited screen prints in-house in Garner, NC, minutes from Raleigh, and completes most orders in 5 to 7 business days, with rush options for tight deadlines.
Established in 1987, Merch Unlimited has earned a 4.9 rating from 1,000+ Google reviews, and the thing those reviews mention most is speed. That is not an accident: automatic presses print daily, every job gets a digital mockup before it runs, and when you have an event date we build the schedule around it.
Plenty of shops box you in with rigid rules and color caps. We built ours around the opposite idea: custom screen printing unlimited by the usual restrictions, with low minimums whether you print 24 tees or 10,000, and Pantone matched inks so your brand colors stay identical across every run.

Why choose screen printing?
When you need vibrant, durable prints that can handle anything, screen printing is the answer. Unlike digital methods, screen printed inks are cured at high temperatures and bond permanently with the fabric, so colors stay bold through hundreds of washes without cracking, peeling, or fading. And because we favor water based and discharge inks, silkscreen printing at Merch Unlimited feels like part of the shirt rather than a stiff layer sitting on top.
How fast is screen printing turnaround?
Most screen printing orders are finished in 5 to 7 business days once your digital mockup is approved, and rush options are available for tight deadlines. Our automatic presses run daily, so once you approve the proof we burn screens, mix your custom inks, print, inspect every piece, and ship with tracking.
How do our screen printing prices compare?
Here is a real number instead of a vague promise: a Gildan G5000 tee is $11.15 at Merch Unlimited, while competitors charge $14.50 to $15.45 for the same shirt.
| Shirt | Merch Unlimited | Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Gildan G5000 tee | $11.15 | $14.50 to $15.45 |
Setup spreads across your run, so per piece pricing keeps dropping as quantity rises. Quotes are always free, and your price depends on quantity, ink colors, print locations, and garment choice.
Need embroidery or DTF transfers too?
Screen printing is one piece of a bigger shop. If your artwork has too many colors for screens, or you need a small run fast, our custom DTF transfers ship in 24 to 48 hours with no minimum order. For polos, hats, and workwear that call for stitched logos, we handle embroidery in the same building. See everything we do for local businesses on our Garner and Raleigh services page, or read our guide to screen printing vs embroidery to pick the right method for your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does screen printing cost?
Screen printing cost depends on your order quantity, the number of ink colors in your design, print locations, and the garments you choose. Each color requires its own screen, so simpler designs cost less to set up, and the price per piece drops as quantity increases, which makes screen printing one of the most cost effective options for bulk orders. Merch Unlimited provides free quotes, so share your design and quantity and our team will price your project.
What is the minimum order for screen printing?
Merch Unlimited keeps screen printing minimums low. Whether you are printing 24 tees or 10,000, every piece gets the same attention to detail on our automatic presses. Screen printing does become more cost effective as quantities rise, since setup costs spread across more garments, so larger runs earn better per piece pricing. If you are not sure what quantity makes sense for your budget, contact us for a free quote and we will help you plan the right order size.
How long does screen printing take?
Most screen printing orders at Merch Unlimited are completed in 5 to 7 business days, and rush options are available for tight deadlines. Our automatic presses run daily, so production moves quickly once you approve your digital mockup. From there we burn screens, mix your custom ink colors, print, and inspect every piece before it ships with tracking. If you have a hard event date, tell us up front and we will build the schedule around it.
How long do screen printed shirts last?
Screen printed shirts from Merch Unlimited are built to last through hundreds of washes without cracking, peeling, or fading. We use industrial grade inks cured at high temperatures, so the ink bonds permanently with the fabric instead of sitting on top.
