Screen printing is an economical process for creating graphics and colored logos for your equipment, panels or other items.
A mesh screen acts as a stencil and covers the metal surface, while a squeegee-type applicator applies inks and epoxies to your tag. The final step in the process is where a surface coat is applied to the nameplate, creating a seal for your color and extending your decal’s lifespan.
The screen-printing process provides vivid, colorfast images with durability and high resolution.
Additional protection from UV, chemicals and abrasion can be obtained with MS’s over lamination capabilities.

✅ What is Screen Printing on Metal?
Screen printing is a technique where ink is applied directly onto a metal surface using a stencil screen. This process produces vibrant, long-lasting colors, making it ideal for custom graphics, logos, or complex designs.
Screen printed metal is often used when full-color visuals or precise branding are needed, offering excellent print clarity and outdoor durability.
