Silk-screen printing on t-shirts

Name: Merch Armenia
Address: AM

Why this combination works

This pairing — screen print on t-shirts — is one of the most requested combinations out of Yerevan. What makes it work: bright dense ink and the right call for medium-to-large runs. Materials available to us locally are 150–200 gsm cotton/poly, with chest, back, sleeve as the default decoration zone.

Models and materials that fit

Materials we work with on (t-shirts) are 150–200 gsm cotton/poly. For (screen print) we match substrate to purpose — an onboarding run and a conference giveaway ask different things from the same method. The mark lands on chest, back, sleeve; other zones are possible on request.

Prints and branding approaches

Colour and detail range with (screen print): Pantone spot colours, typically up to 6. For (t-shirts) this means one- or two-colour logos hold cleanly, and more complex artwork can work once we confirm minimum line weights on the target material.

Bundling and packaging

Packaging for (t-shirts) in Armenia ranges from polybag/kraft carton up to gift boxes with ribbon and printed card inserts. Premium packaging typically adds 10–25% to unit price; for onboarding kits and welcome-boxes the ribbon layer is usually overkill.

Runs, lead times, and budgets

Minimum run for this method: from 50 units; beats DTF from ~100 up. Lead time: 7–10 days. Runs above 500 units unlock volume pricing and consolidated delivery. Sampling on the target material adds 3–5 days before the main production starts.
