White-label design for screen printers
We turn your customers’ artwork into screen-print separations, and design the shirt when there’s no artwork at all. You get one film or channel per ink, with underbases and halftones set for your mesh and inks. Files come back in 24 hours on average, under your shop’s name, for $699 a month.
No contract, no setup fee, pause or cancel anytime.
The order is 200 black hoodies and the art is a full-color JPG with a glow around it. Somebody has to rebuild it, settle the ink count and separate it before a screen gets burned. That somebody is usually you, after the shop closes.
Send us the art, the garment colors, the most colors you want on press and your mesh counts. You get back separations you can output, and a mock-up your customer can sign off.
The jobs you get
- Spot-color separations. One channel per ink, named to match your ink list, for logos and flat art of roughly one to six colors.
- White underbase for dark garments. Choked, so it doesn’t show around the edges of the colors on top.
- Simulated-process separations. For photographic or painted art on dark shirts: spot inks printed as halftones over an underbase.
- Halftones. Frequency and angle chosen to suit your mesh counts.
- Low-resolution customer art. Redrawn as a vector, so the edges are clean on film.
- Too many colors for the price. The design rebuilt to print in fewer screens, with your customer’s approval.
- New shirt designs. Team, event and staff shirts designed from a brief, then separated.
What comes back
- Film positives as print-ready files, with registration marks and the ink name on every film
- The layered or channel file, so you can adjust it in house
- An ink list that matches the channel names
- A separate version for light and dark garments when the colors need it
- A garment mock-up for your customer to approve, with nothing on it about us
Standard sizes for this work: t-shirt print sizes, and every print size.
Your customers never know we exist.
Every file ships under your name. No watermark, no credit line, no mention of us anywhere on the artwork or the invoice.
An address on your domain
We’ll work from an email address on your domain if you want one.
Ownership on delivery
Full ownership transfers to you on delivery, source files included.
Your trade area stays yours
We never contact your customers, and we never work for a shop inside your trade area without telling you first.
The plan is the same for every shop: unlimited requests, one at a time, for $699 a month. Without the plan, file fixes start at $10 a file. What the plan includes, and what it replaces.

Questions from screen printers
- Which kind of separation will you use?
- Spot color for logos, type and flat art. Simulated process for photographic art on dark garments. Four-color process only on white or very light shirts, because process inks are translucent. We tell you which one, and how many screens, before we start.
- What do you need from us for the first job?
- Your mesh counts, the most colors your press runs, whether you print plastisol or water-based ink, and your largest print size. Halftones and underbases are set to that from then on.
- Do you send physical films?
- No. You get film positives as files, ready to output on your own film printer.
- Can you set up the same design for DTF or DTG?
- Yes. Those don’t need separations. They need a transparent PNG at 300 dpi at the full print size, with no soft glows that print as a box. See DTF and apparel decorators.
Other kinds of shop: sign shops, DTF and apparel decorators, label printers, commercial printers, embroidery shops. The plan, the price and how it compares: white-label design for print shops.
