Greensboro's Custom Screen Printing
New Leaf Graphics Inc. is a licensed custom apparel and screen printing business serving Greensboro, NC, and the surrounding Triad region since 2011, with over 40 years of combined hands-on experience in the decorated apparel industry.
Screen Printing Is the Standard for High-Volume Custom Apparel
Screen printing forces ink through a mesh stencil directly onto fabric, producing bold, durable color built to hold up through hundreds of washes. It is the most cost-effective decoration method for orders of 12 pieces or more, particularly for designs with one to six solid colors. New Leaf Graphics, Inc. handles screen printing for apparel, uniforms, and event gear across Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad.
Full-Color, Durable Decoration for Bulk Apparel Orders
When you need consistent results across a large run, the decoration method matters as much as the garment. Inconsistent ink adhesion, color drift across a run, and peeling transfers are the real costs of choosing the wrong vendor or method. You pay not just in money but in wasted deadlines and reprints that push back your event, your uniform rollout, or your merchandise launch.
Professional Screen Printing Delivers Consistent Results at Scale
New Leaf Graphics Inc. uses professional-grade plastisol inks, precision-registered screens, and a production process refined over 40-plus years in Greensboro. Consistent ink deposit, accurate color matching, and proper curing mean the 200th shirt looks identical to the first. That consistency protects your brand across a full uniform or merchandise run. New Leaf Graphics handles both the artwork setup and production in-house, so there is no handoff gap between design approval and the finished garment.
Our Screen Printing Process Runs from File to Finished Garment
1. Submit Your Artwork and Order Details
Send your vector artwork or high-resolution file along with your garment style, quantity, and color preferences. New Leaf Graphics reviews every file before production begins to catch any issues early.
2. Receive a Free Quote and Approve Your Order
A quote is generated based on ink colors, quantity, and garment type. No order moves forward without written approval from you.
3. Screens Are Burned and Ink Colors Mixed
Each color in the design gets its own screen, burned with precision to hold fine detail. Inks are mixed to match your specified PMS or brand color.
4. Garments Are Printed and Cured
Garments run through the press at consistent speed and pressure. Each print passes through a conveyor dryer to fully cure the ink for wash durability.
5. Quality Check, Fold, and Hand-Off
Every finished garment is inspected before packaging. Orders are ready for pick-up in Greensboro or can be arranged for local delivery.

File Formats and Artwork Requirements

Screen Printing Questions New Leaf Graphics Customers Ask
How many pieces do I need to order for screen printing?
Screen printing at New Leaf Graphics starts at 12 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible but carry higher per-piece setup costs because each color requires a separate screen. For most team, event, or uniform orders, 24 to 48 pieces is where screen printing becomes the most cost-effective option compared to digital or transfer methods.
What file format should I send for my artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, or SVG) are ideal because they scale without losing detail at any print size. High-resolution PDFs at 300 DPI or above also work well. Raster images like JPG or PNG are accepted if the resolution is sufficient. New Leaf Graphics reviews every file before production and will flag any issues before charging for setup.
How long does a screen printing order take to complete?
Standard turnaround for screen printing is 7 to 10 business days from approved artwork and confirmed order. Rush orders may be available depending on current production capacity. Contact New Leaf Graphics directly to check availability. Turnaround starts once artwork is approved and payment terms are confirmed, not when the initial inquiry is received.
Can screen printing work on polyester and performance fabrics?
Yes. New Leaf Graphics prints on polyester, performance blends, and moisture-wicking fabrics using inks formulated for synthetic materials. Dye migration, where polyester fibers bleed into light-colored ink, is managed through ink selection and curing settings. Mention your fabric type when requesting a quote so the right ink system is specified.
