Bold Prints.
Built To Last.
Custom screen printing for businesses, brands, and organizations across the Pacific Northwest. Premium inks, meticulous color matching, and the kind of quality people notice — and keep.
Why Screen Printing?
Screen printing remains the gold standard for custom apparel because of its durability, vibrancy, and cost-effectiveness at scale. The ink is pushed through a fine mesh screen directly into the fabric fibers, creating prints that look bold on day one and still hold up hundreds of washes later.
At Pacific North Press, we've spent years perfecting every aspect of the screen printing process — from artwork preparation and color separation to press setup, ink selection, and quality control. Whether it's a simple one-color logo on work tees or a complex six-color design for a retail line, we approach every job with the same attention to detail.

How Screen Printing Works
A behind-the-scenes look at how your custom apparel goes from artwork file to finished product.
We review your artwork and prepare it for screen printing. This includes color separation — breaking your design into individual layers, one for each ink color. We'll send you a digital proof for approval.
Each color in your design gets its own screen. We coat fine mesh screens with a light-sensitive emulsion, expose your artwork onto them, and wash out the design area to create a precise stencil.
Screens are locked into the press and aligned for perfect registration. Ink is pushed through each screen one color at a time, building your full design. Each garment is inspected as it comes off the press.
Printed garments pass through a conveyor dryer at a precise temperature to fully cure the ink. This is what makes screen prints so durable — the ink bonds permanently with the fabric fibers.
Every piece is inspected for print quality, color accuracy, and garment condition. Anything that doesn't meet our standards gets pulled and reprinted.
Finished orders are folded, counted, packed, and either shipped to your door or prepared for local pickup in Portland. Need it fast? Ask about our 5-day rush option.
