Simple branding that keeps costs down
One colour prints are ideal when you need a strong, readable logo on T-shirts, hoodies, caps, team kit or event wear without paying for multiple inks. It is a practical option for school groups, sports clubs, church events, fundraisers and company uniforms across Jeffreys Bay and the wider Kouga area.
This method works best for bold logos, text, badges and simple artwork with one solid colour. It gives a neat finish that holds up well through regular wear and washing, especially when the garment is chosen to suit the print and the use case. For surf-town clothing, coastal humidity and frequent washing can matter, so we guide you on the right fabric and print placement from the start.
Brand-On Screen Printing handles small to large runs from our industrial area base in Jeffreys Bay. Whether you need a 20-shirt order for a weekend event or a bulk run for a school or club, we keep the process practical and affordable.
What is included in a one colour print order
Every one colour print order is handled with attention to layout, consistency and repeatability. We check the artwork, confirm the print position and make sure the garment and ink choice suit the job. If your order needs a left chest logo, back print, sleeve mark or neck label print, we can set that up as part of the same run.
Included in the service:
- Artwork setup and sizing for the chosen garment
- One colour print preparation and press setup
- Colour matching to your approved ink shade where possible
- Sample strike-off for approval on larger or repeat orders
- Folding and bagging, plus bulk packing when needed
- Repeat order support for re-runs and ongoing uniform needs
If you are ordering for a school, club or event, we can also help you keep the same look across different garment types. That means your T-shirts, hoodies and caps can carry the same branding style, even if the print area changes. It keeps the order organised and makes reordering easier later on, no confusion.
How the order runs from artwork to packing
Our process is set up to keep things clear from the first enquiry. You send the details through the enquiry form on our contact page, including garment type, sizes, quantities and artwork if you have it. Leandi handles sales and quotes, while Ridwaan checks the artwork setup so the print is ready for production.
- Step 1: Enquiry and quote based on quantity, garment type and print size
- Step 2: Artwork check, layout adjustment and placement confirmation
- Step 3: Sample strike-off where needed for approval before full production
- Step 4: Printing on press with quality checks during the run
- Step 5: Folding, bagging and bulk packing for collection or dispatch
Thobeka manages the press work and Jason handles finishing, so the order moves through each stage with proper oversight. Anele oversees production planning, which helps keep lead times realistic even when we are busy with school season, sports events or end-of-term orders. Megan keeps clients updated if there is anything to confirm before the run starts.
Turnaround times that suit local event dates
Turnaround depends on artwork readiness, garment availability and the size of the run. For straightforward one colour jobs with approved artwork, smaller orders can often move quickly. Larger orders, repeat school runs or jobs needing strike-offs take a bit longer, especially when we need to match previous branding or coordinate multiple sizes.
We plan around local timing where it matters. In Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Oyster Bay, Humansdorp and Gqeberha, event dates, school calendars and tournament weekends can come up fast. If you need garments for a deadline, tell us early so we can check production space and keep the order moving. During load-shedding periods we also plan the print schedule carefully so your order is not delayed by power interruptions.
For repeat orders, turnaround is often faster because the artwork and print setup are already on file. That is useful for clubs, schools and businesses that re-order monthly or termly, and it saves time on approvals too.
Pricing that stays practical for bulk runs
One colour printing is usually the most economical screen printing option because it uses a single ink setup and a simpler production process. Pricing is based on quantity, number of print positions, artwork complexity, garment type and whether you need extras such as neck labels or individual bagging. Bigger quantities usually bring the unit cost down, which is why this method is popular for events and uniforms.
We quote carefully so you know where the cost sits before production starts. If you are comparing options, we can show you how a left chest logo differs from a larger back print, or how adding a sleeve print changes the total. That makes budgeting easier for schools and clubs where every Rand matters.
- Lower unit cost for larger quantities
- Single setup keeps production efficient
- Good value for simple logos and text
- Best suited to repeatable, clean artwork
If your artwork is already prepared and your garment choice is confirmed, the quote process is quicker. If you are not sure what size print to use, we will advise on the most practical option so the branding looks right without wasting space or money.
Print care and maintenance for longer wear
Printed garments last longer when they are washed and handled properly. This is especially true for event wear, school clothing and work shirts that get used often. The aim is to keep the print looking clean for as many wash cycles as possible, even in coastal conditions where moisture and salt air can be harder on garments. A bit of care goes a long way.
Care tips we recommend:
- Wash inside out in cool or lukewarm water
- Avoid harsh bleach and strong stain removers on the print area
- Do not iron directly on the print
- Dry in the shade where possible to reduce fading
- Store folded and dry, not damp in a kit bag or box
For uniforms and club wear that are used every week, we also suggest planning maintenance intervals for reorders. That may mean checking stock at the start of each term, after a sports season, or before a busy event calendar. It is easier to top up sizes early than to rush later when stocks are low or a deadline is close.
Why local clients keep coming back for one colour work
Local schools, clubs and businesses often need a supplier who understands simple branding, practical turnaround and consistent results. That is where one colour printing works well. It is neat, affordable and dependable for the kind of clothing runs that happen often in Jeffreys Bay and the surrounding towns.
Because we are based in the Jeffreys Bay industrial area, we are set up for regular production and repeat support. If you need the same logo again next month or next term, we can work from the existing setup and keep the look consistent. That helps reduce delays and keeps your group looking matched up, from the first shirt to the last. It also makes it easier to manage size changes and small top-up orders when new members join.
For one colour prints that need to be affordable without looking cheap, the key is proper setup, the right garment and careful press work. That is the standard we keep on every order.
