HOW MANY GARMENTS?.. IT DEPENDS ON THE DAY.

At Squeegee & Ink we are a small team of just 2 people. We manually screen print every garment that comes through the studio and we generally take on smaller orders to keep our workflow interesting. 

If you have been following us for a while you will understand that we don’t JUST screen print. We create content for social media and other screen printers, we have our own clothing brand, we attend market stalls, we regularly teach screen printing AND we provide pre-exposed screens and acetates for other studios. So how do we find the time to screen print customer jobs? We BATCH UP OUR WORKFLOW.

WHAT DID WE PRINT TODAY?

We split our print jobs/time up into days. For example;

Now you know how our time is roughly split, you can see that we hand printed all of our customer orders in one day. Here is what we printed on Wednesday;

Oh, and we filmed a YouTube video at the same time! This may seem like a very, very small amount of orders in comparison to an automatic screen printing factory, but you have to take every little detail into consideration when planning how many shirts you can print for your customers. For example;

• How many members of staff are in your studio?
• How many colours are in the designs?
• How many units per design?
• Are you printing manually?
• Do you need to flash in between colours?
• Are you printing t-shirts or hoodies/jumpers?

All these things can change the amount of garments that you can print in one day. If we accepted an order which was 1000 units of the same design in single colour. Of course we can print that in just one day… But that would be boring, wouldn’t it!

Check out our latest YouTube video on ‘A day in the life at Squeegee & Ink’, and let us know how many garments you screen print on average!
