The time required for producing a screen-printed garment varies considerably. Several factors influence the duration, ranging from the complexity of the design to the scale of the production run. A simple, single-color graphic applied to a small batch of shirts will naturally require less time than a multi-colored, intricate design being printed on a large order.
Understanding the timeline involved offers benefits for both the print shop and the customer. Accurate estimations allow for efficient scheduling, optimized resource allocation, and ultimately, increased profitability. Historically, improvements in printing technology and automation have dramatically reduced production times, making the process more accessible and cost-effective.
