Expert Screen Printing in London
Screen printing remains the benchmark for high-volume custom garment production. Using layered, precision ink application through fine mesh stencils, it produces colours that are richer, more durable, and more vibrant than almost any other print method — garments that survive hundreds of washes without fading.
Our Bow studio runs both automatic and manual screen printing presses, allowing us to handle orders from 25 units right through to large wholesale runs. We offer specialty finishes including metallic, puff, glow-in-the-dark, and fluorescent inks — ideal for fashion labels, event merch, and bold promotional campaigns.

Client Reviews
What Our Customers Say
"We needed 200 custom-printed hoodies for a product launch in Shoreditch — two weeks out. The T-Shirt Printers delivered on time, the quality was exceptional, and the team were communicative from start to finish. We won't go anywhere else."
"Same-day DTF printing saved our event. We had a last-minute sponsor change and needed 80 staff T-shirts reprinted by morning. They sorted it. The print quality was brilliant — better than our original order elsewhere."
"Forty years in the game and they still care about every order. We've been getting our uniform workwear embroidered here for three seasons now. Consistent quality, fair pricing, and you can actually walk in and talk to someone — rare nowadays."
"Brilliant for independent labels. Small runs, no minimum hassle, and the screen printing result is as good as anything coming out of much bigger studios. If you're a new brand starting out in East London, this is your printer."

T-Shirt Printing Methods We Offer
Screen printing remains our most popular service for good reason — it delivers the sharpest, most durable results on bulk orders, with speciality ink options including metallics, puff printing, and fluorescent colours that make garments genuinely stand out.
Direct-to-Film (DTF) is the fastest-growing method in our studio, offering full-colour, high-detail results on any fabric with no minimum order. It's the fastest route to market for startups, limited editions, and urgent event requirements across London.
Embroidery adds a refined, premium quality to workwear, corporate clothing, caps, and branded merchandise that printing alone cannot replicate. We embroider up to 15 colours with metallic thread options, and our production is entirely in-house for quality control.
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing suits photographic artwork and complex full-colour designs on cotton garments, with no setup cost and wash-fast results that don't crack or peel. Combined with our DTF capability, we can handle virtually any design on virtually any fabric.
