Screen Printing in Kumeu, West Auckland
Bold, long-lasting prints on tees, hoodies, uniforms and more
Screen printing is the go-to choice when you need a strong, vibrant print across a run of garments. Each colour in your design is pushed through its own fine mesh screen, laying down a thick layer of ink that sits on top of the fabric. The result is a punchy, durable print that holds its colour wash after wash.
We screen print for businesses, schools, sports clubs, events and retail brands right across West Auckland, Kumeu, Huapai and the wider Auckland region.
Why Choose Screen Printing?
- Great value on larger runs: once the screens are set up, the cost per garment drops as your quantity goes up, so it’s ideal for medium to large orders.
- Vivid, solid colour: thick ink coverage gives bright, opaque colour, even on dark garments.
- Built to last: screen printed designs stand up to regular washing and everyday wear, perfect for uniforms and workwear.
- Pantone colour matching: keep your brand colours consistent across every garment.
What Can We Screen Print?

Screen Printing or DTF: Which Is Right for You?
Screen printing shines on bigger runs and designs with a limited number of solid colours. For small quantities, one-offs, or full-colour designs with gradients and fine detail, DTF (direct-to-film) printing is often the better fit. For a premium, textured finish on caps, polos and jackets, consider embroidery.

A Few Tips for the Best Result
- Supply vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) where possible for the sharpest print. Our graphic design team can help tidy up or redraw your logo.
- Start with new garments. We recommend printing on new clothing, as washing detergents and fabric softeners on pre-worn garments can stop the ink adhering properly.
- Think about placement: left chest, full front, full back, sleeve or nape prints can all be combined on one garment.
What our customers say
“Would highly recommend Bowring Print & Merch. I have just picked up my second shirt that I have had screen printed and it looks brilliant. The first one I had done, a few years ago, is also still in excellent condition too.” – Rachel
“We had our netball teams hoodies printed, and Tom was amazing. He helped us get the design to look better on our hoodies and he took the time to make sure that it would all look good. When I picked up the hoodies, they were absolutely amazing and so much better than expected.” – Shell
“We have used Bowring for the past 2 summer soccer seasons for our son’s team and they’ve been excellent to deal with! Great communication and easy to deal with – can order the shirts and printing directly through them and they’re great quality.” – Suzy
