Some of the earliest uses of modern day screen printing began in the United States. Through much innovation, screen printing came into existence as an efficient and effective way to produce images onto various items. Let’s look at what’s most relevant in history for this process. These varying ‘printing’ techniques have led to what we know now as screen printing. History has shown proof of stencils used on cave walls, stencils used to design clothing such as Hawaiian shirts, and a wide range of fabrics in Japan and China from earlier centuries were made using stencils.

Using a stencil has been a common way to create art since the beginning of time. Screen printing is optimal for creating an increase in brand awareness through the use of different promotional products. Among them, we can find serigraphy for the graphic design sector, serigraphy for the art sector and textile printing, which is what interests us most. There are different types of silk-screen printing, depending on the aim and the printing process used. It has been used for more than 100 years in the commercial and artistic sector and is mainly used for printing images and designs on personalised gym bag, personalised drawstring bag, personalised school bags, T-shirts, tote bags, paper, wood, ceramics and other materials like clothing magnets too. However, it has been adapted to a larger variety of items as the technique is much more advanced today. Most often, the process is used for printing onto posters, fabrics and packaging.

The screen printing process has been around for a long time and has evolved from simple stencilling to a complete merchanised printing method. Screen printing is one of the most popular printing techniques used amongst a vast range of companies for printing designs onto various products.
