Screen printing services providers can create a wide variety of custom designs for printing on fabric or paper. A screen printing service uses a mesh or screen made of a porous material, often a finely woven fabric such as silk, nylon, or polyester. The mesh is stretched over a frame, typically made of wood or aluminum. Ink is placed on the screen and a rubber blade or squeegee is used to spread the ink out uniformly. The ink passes through the open spaces in the screen and is blocked by the stencil, resulting in a design on the paper or fabric.

A wide variety of materials are available including paper, vinyl, mylar, plastic, Lexan, cardboard, static cling, Tyvek®, Fome-Cor®, Gatorform®, Sintra®, metal, metallics, plexiglass, Bantex®, wood, magnetic sheeting, cloth, glass, and Tedlar.
