Graphic-forward finish
Screen print for bold, flat artwork.
Ink laid flat on the panel gives you poster-like color and coverage — ideal when the art is the hero. Big wordmarks, illustrations, and simple multi-color graphics often look cleaner as screen print than as a heavy stitch fill. It’s a sharp option for drops that want graphic impact on truckers and snapbacks.

Your options
Coverage, color, and placement
Screen print shines when the design wants area and clarity — not thread texture.
Solid color builds
Clean fills and decisive shapes print crisply. Perfect for bold logos and illustration with clear color breaks.
Large front-panel graphics
When the art needs width and presence across the crown, ink often reads cleaner than dense embroidery.
Simple multi-color art
Spot-color style designs work well. Soft gradients and tiny type may need simplification — we’ll advise on review.
Hybrid programs
Some brands print the main graphic and embroider a small secondary mark. Ask us if you want a mixed approach.
Why Plus One Caps
When ink beats stitch
Not every logo wants texture. Sometimes the brand is flat, loud, and graphic — that’s screen print territory.
01
True graphic coverage
Ink can fill shapes evenly without the “stitched polygon” look that heavy embroidery can create on large fills.
02
Illustration-friendly
Character art, posters, and campaign graphics often translate better to print than to thread.
03
Clean mockup path
Same Plus One Caps promise: see placement and sizing before production starts.
04
Merch-drop energy
Flat ink reads modern on lifestyle blanks — especially for music, street, and event merch.

Artwork that prints clean
Screen print loves hard edges and intentional color. Soft effects need a conversation.
- Vector files with solid color areas are ideal.
- High-res PNG can work for review; we’ll rebuild separations when needed.
- Hairline strokes and micro type may need to thicken for a clean print.
- Gradients and photoreal art may require a different finish or a simplified version.
- Tell us brand colors early — we’ll align expectations on the mockup.

Screen print questions
If the art is large, flat, and graphic — often yes. If you want texture and a classic premium stitch, embroidery wins. Send the art and we’ll recommend honestly.
