Silk screening on metal, plastic and painted parts

Information traditionally applied to a product by label can often be silk screened instead — more durable, more professional, and frequently cheaper. Because we do it in the same building as the coating, marked parts never leave for a third party and never add a leg to your lead time.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to supply the screen?

No. You can supply the actual silkscreen if you have one, or send camera-ready artwork and we will fabricate the screen for you.

What file format should I send artwork in?

PDF works well and is what most customers send. Email drawings and artwork to gpp@glecoplating.com.

Can you print more than one color?

Yes. Multiple colors can be printed, registered to your artwork.

Can you silk screen over powder coating or paint?

Yes — that is the most common use. We coat the part and mark it in the same building, so it never leaves for an outside vendor.

Is silk screening cheaper than labels?

Often, yes. Information traditionally applied by label can frequently be silk screened more economically, and the result is far more durable.

What surfaces can you print on?

Metal, plastic and painted parts. Tell us the substrate and the finish and we will confirm the ink system.
