Silkscreen: 20 pieces. DTF: 5 pieces. Embroidery: 10 pieces. Print-only (you supply blanks): 30 pieces.

Can we order tees and tote bags together for a school CCA?

Yes. Many CCAs and school groups order both in the same enquiry. Let us know everything you need in your first message and we will quote the full order together.

Can we add individual names to each shirt?

Yes. Individual names and numbers can be added via vinyl or DTF printing. The cost per piece increases slightly for personalisation.

Do you deliver class tee orders to schools?

Yes. We deliver islandwide including to schools. Someone must be available at the delivery address to receive the order.

Are your t-shirt printing prices inclusive of GST?

All prices are quoted without GST. Provision Print is not GST-registered, so there is no GST to add.

How much does custom t-shirt printing cost in Singapore?

Reference prices at 30 pieces: silkscreen from S$8/pc (1 colour, 1 position), DTF from S$9.50/pc (A4 size, 1 position), embroidery from S$11/pc (logo size, 1 position). Final price depends on quantity, print positions, colours, and garment type.

Do you charge for artwork or design setup?

Is delivery included in the price?

Yes. Free delivery islandwide is included with every completed order. No minimum spend for delivery.

Can I mix printing methods in one order?

Yes, in most cases. For example, you could have a silkscreen print on the chest and a vinyl name on the back. Let us know your requirements and we'll advise.

Which printing method lasts the longest?

Embroidery and dye sublimation are the most durable. Embroidery is stitched thread; dye sublimation embeds ink in the fabric. Silkscreen is also very durable when properly cared for.

Can I see a sample before the full order?

Yes. We provide a digital mockup for every order before production begins. For large orders, a physical sample may be arranged.

What file format do I need for my artwork?

PSD, AI, or PDF at minimum 300 dpi is preferred. JPEG, PNG, and GIF are also accepted. We'll let you know if any adjustments are needed.

Which printing methods work on dark-coloured fabric?

DTF, dye sublimation (on dark polyester), heat transfer, and vinyl all work well on dark fabrics. Silkscreen can also print on dark fabric with an additional white underbase layer.

Silkscreen Printing Singapore — Everything You Need to Know

Silkscreen printing is Singapore's most popular method for custom t-shirts — and it's been that way for decades. If you're ordering corporate uniforms, CCA shirts, event tees, or sports jerseys in bulk, silkscreen is almost certainly the right choice.

What Is Silkscreen Printing?

Silkscreen printing (also called screen printing) uses a fine mesh screen to press thick, vibrant ink directly onto fabric. A separate screen is created for each colour in your design, and each colour is applied one at a time in layers.

The result is a bold, opaque print with excellent colour saturation. Because the ink sits on top of the fabric, silkscreen colours are bright even on dark garments, and the print holds its shape wash after wash.

Why Silkscreen Is Best for Bulk Orders

The cost structure of silkscreen printing favours volume. Each colour requires a screen to be made — that setup cost is fixed regardless of how many pieces you print. Spread across 30 pieces, that setup cost is noticeable. Spread across 200 pieces, it becomes negligible.

Reference price: From S$8/pc for a 1-colour silkscreen print on a cotton t-shirt at 30 pieces, 1 position.

When to Choose Silkscreen

Silkscreen is the right call when:

You're ordering 30 or more pieces
Your design uses 1–4 solid colours (no gradients or photographic elements)
You want the most cost-effective option for bulk orders
You're printing on cotton or dri-fit fabric
You need a durable, long-lasting print

Silkscreen may not be the best fit when:

Your design has gradients, fine details, or photographic colours
You're ordering fewer than 30 pieces (DTF is more economical at small quantities)
You need to print on very unusual fabric types

Colour Limits and Pantone Matching

Each colour in a silkscreen design requires its own screen. Most class tee and corporate orders use 1–3 colours, which is the sweet spot for cost and visual impact.

For clients who need exact brand colour matching, we work with Pantone codes. Provide your Pantone codes when you submit your artwork and we'll match to them during production.

What Fabrics Work with Silkscreen?

Cotton (100% cotton, cotton-poly blends)
Dri-fit (polyester-based performance fabric)
Canvas (for tote bags)
Non-woven bags

On dark fabrics, an underbase layer of white ink is printed first, which adds one colour to the count but makes all other colours pop correctly.

Minimum Order and Turnaround

Minimum order: 20 pieces for standard orders. 30 pieces for print-only.
Standard turnaround: 5–10 working days from artwork approval.
Express turnaround: 2–3 working days, at no extra charge.
