How To Succeed In Sports Screen Printing Enterprise

By Bernice Terry


Screen printing has been around for a long time now. In fact, it is the earliest method known for imprinting. At present, one of the key markets of the industry is the sports team. Sports screen printing is widely popular among local and school teams. Although the demand is high and the business is promising, there are a few things you have to keep in mind when venturing into this enterprise.

Be creative. While some teams have their designs prepared for printing, you may still accept layout services. Your ability to create ingenious design can be an asset. Do not slug your designs and constantly search for new inspirations. Stagnating your designs means curtailing the business' growth. Countless references can help broaden your creativity.

Use efficient software. Nowadays, things are going digital. Creating and imprinting designs require the use of software programs. Maximize the use of such programs to your advantage. Acquaint yourself with the different systems that fit your enterprise. An impressive layout may not be fully appreciated if not properly translated into a final product.

Carefully choose the materials you use. Using the right materials is essential to get the most out of your layouts. The fabrics you use can affect the clarity, quality and crispness of the prints. Some of the most commonly used fabrics include rayon, polyester and cotton. Consider the pros and cons of each type. You can also use the trip-blend fabrics, which is an interesting combination of all three.

Use appropriate frames. The frame supports the fabric being stretched during the printing process. The frames can be made of different materials, such as wood, aluminum or steel. Starters are advised to use ready-made frames to ensure the right ratio across all section and properly jointed corners. Wooden frames are far more common because it is easier to work with, but metal frames are more durable.

Offer varied services. Do not limit yourself with just sports apparel. There are several other printing applications that you can venture in. Customizing shirts, mugs, caps and other advertising materials is also high in demand. Offering professional layout services can also help increase revenues.

Advertise your company. Like all other enterprises, the key to staying operational is your clients. In order to survive the close competition, you must establish a solid client base. You may employ effective advertising strategies, such as distributing business cards, fliers and other print ads. This is one means of showing a sample to your potential clients.

Hire reliable staff. When you offer good services, you can expect more orders to keep coming in. You may not be able to attend to client requests on your own. You can use help from your family members or friends. However, if you are planning to go all out, you will need help from personnel who can work full-time.

All in all, the sports screen printing industry continues to boom. This industry seems to be staying for good. Demands are expected to soar continuously in the coming years, so this is the best time to get started. Just see to it that you are aware of the most important aspects that can affect your enterprise. Pay careful attention even to minor details that matter.
