What Screen Print Services does

Screen Print Services (legal entity Palmerston North Serigraphic Services Ltd, trading as ScreenPrint Services) is a privately held, locally owned custom screen printing business operating from a single facility at 11-17 Pirani Place, Palmerston North, New Zealand. The company has been in operation for over 40 years, since approximately 1980, and serves local businesses, community groups and clubs, schools, and corporate buyers across the Manawatū region with custom-printed apparel, promotional products, stickers, and signage. Its service offering includes in-house graphic design for artwork preparation and modification.

The business combines traditional screen printing (using filmwork exposure onto mesh screens, plastisol and specialty inks such as fluro, dye, glow-in-the-dark, glitter, and puff, cured under heat) with solvent-based digital CMYK printing and vinyl heat transfer. It supports Pantone color matching, three standard print area sizes, prints on front, back, sleeves, hoods, and legs with a 30mm seam clearance, and operates with no minimum order quantities. Standard orders carry a 10 working day turnaround.

Commercially, Screen Print Services runs a quote-based, direct-to-consumer model with no e-commerce, no resellers, and no digital marketing — all sales are phone, email, or in-store. Payment terms are 50% deposit at order start and 50% on pickup (100% if shipped). Revenue is generated from one-off transactional print jobs and, optionally, hourly design services. Supplier breadth spans 17+ garment, workwear, headwear, and promotional product partners including AS Colour, Biz Collection, JB's Wear, Gildan, Syzmik, and Legendlife.
