What is it?
Screen-printing presses special garment inks into fabrics and then cures that ink at high heat. Images must be separated by color and each screen prints that color in a layer. This results in a permanent design on the garment.
How much?
Screen-printing costs vary based on how many screens are needed, how many garments require impressions, and whether you require special sizes to be involved. The more screens, the more expensive per garment! We have a helpful quote system to get you an answer as soon as possible!
Shirts
JBLM Arts and Crafts utilizes several vendors to fulfill shirt requests. Our vendors have detailed information about sizes, heat tolerance, printing capabilities, and more. All projects start with a shirt order from our vendors at wholesale costs.
Design Details
To move things along, it is best if you know what your design will be and already have it prepared in a .pdf or .png as a line drawing (looks like a coloring book page). For positioning, we can do it anywhere on the front or back of the garment. We currently cannot do sleeves.
Sizes
Currently we can only offer Adult sizes SMALL through 2XL. Children's sizes require smaller materials we do not have at this time. 3X and above can be processed, but will incur additional charges due to additional screen making.
How Long
From start to finish, a screen-printing order can take 3-4 weeks. Week 1: We take your order, discuss the design, order your shirts, and verify the color sections and design breakdown. Week 2: We receive your shirts and verify the order has been fulfilled correctly. We also transform your design into screens (1 for each color) and align them with test prints. Week 3 and 4: We print your shirts! The length of time varies based on quantity of shirts and impressions requested.

A craft or trade is a pastime or an occupation that requires particular skills and knowledge of skilled work. In a historical sense, particularly the Middle Ages and earlier, the term is usually applied to people occupied in small scale production of goods, or their maintenance, for example by tinkers. The traditional term craftsman is nowadays often replaced by artisan and by craftsperson.
Historically, the more specialized crafts with high-value products tended to concentrate in urban centers and their practitioners formed guilds. The skill required by their professions and the need to be permanently involved in the exchange of goods often demanded a higher level of education, and craftspeople were usually in a more privileged position than the peasantry in societal hierarchy. The households of artisans were not as self-sufficient as those of people engaged in agricultural work, and therefore had to rely on the exchange of goods. Some crafts, especially in areas such as pottery, woodworking, and various stages of textile production, could be practiced on a part-time basis by those also working in agriculture, and often formed part of village life.
When an apprentice finished their apprenticeship, they became a journeyman searching for a place to set up their own shop and make a living. After setting up their own shop, they could then call themselves a master of their craft.
This stepwise approach to mastery of a craft, which includes the attainment of some education and skill, has survived in some countries to the present day. But crafts have undergone deep structural changes since and during the era of the Industrial Revolution. The mass production of goods by large-scale industry has limited crafts to market segments in which industry's modes of functioning or its mass-produced goods do not satisfy the preferences of potential buyers. As an outcome of these changes, craftspeople today increasingly make use of semi-finished components or materials and adapt these to their customers' requirements or demands. Thus, they participate in a certain division of labour between industry and craft.
The nature of craft skill and the process of its development are continually debated by philosophers, anthropologists, and cognitive scientists.[1] Some scholars note that craft skill is marked by particular ways of experiencing tools and materials, whether by allowing tools to recede from focal awareness,[2] perceiving tools and materials in terms of their practical interrelationships,[3] or seeing aspects of work that are invisible to the untrained observer.[4] Other scholars working on craft skill focus on observational learning and mimicry, exploring how learners visually parse the movements of experts.[5] Certain researchers even de-emphasize the role of the individual craftsperson, noting the collective nature of craft understanding[6] or emphasizing the role of materials as collaborators in the process of production.[7]
There are three aspects to human creativity:[according to whom?] art, crafts, and science. Roughly, art relies upon intuitive sensing, vision, and expression; crafts upon sophisticated technique; and science upon knowledge.
Handicraft is the "traditional" main sector of the crafts. It is a type of work where useful and decorative devices are made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. The term is usually applied to traditional means of making goods. The individual artisanship of the items is a paramount criterion, an such items often have cultural and/or religious significance. Items made by mass production or machines are not handicraft goods.
