Screen Printing in Kendallville, IN
When you need custom apparel that looks sharp, holds up well, and makes your group feel put together, screen printing is often the right fit. At Betty Lou Designs & Graphics, printing is one of the main ways we help schools, sports teams, businesses, and local organizations create custom apparel that is built for real use. We use screen printing mostly for higher-volume orders, usually 12 or more items, and it is a great option for custom t-shirts, custom hoodies, branded apparel, spirit wear, uniforms, and promotional apparel. If you need a clean, professional look for a larger order, we are here to help make the process easy.
How Screen Printing Works
Screen printing is a process that transfers ink through a silkscreen to create the design on the item. That method helps produce bold, durable prints that stand out well on apparel and other products. It is especially useful when you want multiple pieces with the same design and a consistent finished look across the full order.
At our shop, we offer up to four different colors per design. That gives customers room to create graphics that feel eye-catching and custom without making the order process overly complicated. Whether you need a simple business logo shirt or a more detailed team design, screen printing gives us a dependable way to create a polished final product.
A Great Fit for Bulk Apparel Orders
If your group needs apparel for an event, sports season, staff team, fundraiser, or business promotion, this method can be a smart and cost-effective choice. Screen printing is a strong option for:
- Custom t-shirts
- Custom hoodies
- Sweatshirts
- Tote bags
- Spirit wear
- Corporate apparel
- Custom uniforms
- Promotional products
- Custom team shirts
- Business logo shirts
Because the process is built for repeat consistency, it helps larger orders look cohesive and professional from the first item to the last.
Mostly Made In-House With Real Local Support
Another thing we are proud of is that most of our printed products are made in-house. That means your order stays closer to home and closer to the people actually working on it. For customers, that often means better communication, more direct support, and a stronger sense of confidence in the finished product.
It also means we are more involved in the process from start to finish. If you have questions about apparel choices, design direction, order size, or what will print best, we are here to talk it through with you. You are not sending your order into a system and hoping for the best. You are working with a real team that cares about how it turns out.
Custom Printing For Schools, Teams, & Businesses
A lot of our printing work is for groups that need apparel to do more than just look good. They need it to represent something. Schools want spirit wear that students and families will actually wear. Teams want gear that builds identity and looks unified on game day. Businesses want branded apparel that feels professional without being stiff or generic.

Bold Prints That Hold Up Over Time
One reason customers come to us for custom screen printing is durability. Screen-printed designs are known for holding up well with repeated wear, which matters when the apparel is meant to be worn often. Spirit wear, work shirts, team gear, and promotional items all need to last longer than one wash or one event.
Benefits of Screen Printing →
- Durable, long-lasting prints
- Bold, vibrant colors
- Cost savings on bulk orders
- Professional branding and team identity
- Versatility across apparel types
When a print is done well, it does not just look good on day one. It keeps doing its job over time, which gives customers more value from the order.
Caring For Your Printed Apparel
Taking care of screen-printed apparel the right way helps the design stay looking good longer.
We Usually Recommend →
- Wash garments inside out
- Use cold water
- Use mild detergent
- Avoid fabric softeners
- Wash with similar colors
- Tumble dry on low or air dry
Those steps help protect the printed design from excess heat, friction, and fading. A little extra care can make a big difference in how long the apparel keeps its color and finish.
