Our Dream It, We Create It
It takes a team effort to make Apparel screen printed . It requires a combination of hard work, an artful eye, and careful crafty hands. Of course, it all starts with your design. Whether you use our top-of-the-line design studio or upload your own creation, it’s really your idea that sparks our drive. That drive starts in the art department.
Our team of art experts act as your second pair of eyes. Not only do our designers understand the ins and outs of making an amazing product, but they’re also artists themselves. That means they know how to preserve the most important elements of your design in a way that fits your budget.
If they think changes need to be made, they’ll check with you before your design goes to production. This is done by sending you a digital proof, which you’ll approve before we start printing.
How does it work?
The first thing we do is separate out the colors in your logo or design using graphic software. A mesh stencil (screen) is then created for each color in the design (keep that in mind when ordering screen prints because each color adds to the cost). To create the stencil, we begin by coating the fine mesh screen with an emulsion. Once dried, we “burn” the artwork into the screen by exposing it to a bright light. We now have a screen for each color in the design which are then used as stencils for printing onto the product.
Unmatched Shirt Printing Technology, Unrivaled Expertise
Our screen printing process is the best in the business.
Regardless of whether we’re screen printing yoga products, or even custom others, we use only top-of-the-line materials, from apparel to machines to ink. It’s all taken care of by professionals who are second-to-none in their field. They work tirelessly to make printing magic, ensuring your design comes out as vivid and true to your vision as possible.
This includes drying them at a toasty 380 degrees Fahrenheit to guarantee your product is durability over a lifetime of wear.

Why choose screen printing?
Screen printing is the perfect print method for large orders, unique products, prints requiring vibrant or specialty inks, or color matching specific Pantone values. Screen printing has fewer limitations as to what products and materials can be printed on. The fast run times can make it a very economical option for large orders. However, the labor intensive setup can make it expensive for small runs.
What kind of screen printing ink do you use?
The type of ink we use is called plastisol. This is the best kind of ink available for screen printing for a few reasons. It’s exceptionally versatile, rarely needs adjustments, doesn’t dry unless properly cured, and has unmatched durability. This results in a shirt that lasts a lifetime.
Do you offer water-based inks?
Of course! We at Lulucustom strive to meet your specifications at every level. Get in touch with us to discuss the water-based ink printing options we have available.
All screen printing eventually comes off in the wash, right?
Wrong. This is because the best inks on the market are a crucial component of our proven screen printing and drying process. A combination like that results in a shirt that will stand the test of time.
Can you only print on T-shirts?
Yoga products may be our best-selling item, but they are far from the only thing we print on. Hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, caps, and polo shirts are just a few of the things we work with, in unisex styles as well as men’s, women’s, and kids.
How do you make sure designs print accurately on dark garments?
We pride ourselves on stringent standards and superior attention to detail. That’s why our printing method uses a process called flash curing to create more vivid, accurate prints.
Alone, it’s enough to put us ahead of our competitors, but we’re not satisfied with just that. What helps us set the bar even higher in this industry is our production team, which is comprised of some of the best screen printers in the country.
