Whether you want to print a small clothing collection, create a limited-edition poster series, organise a private workshop or learn the complete process from digital artwork to finished print, Formowanie provides the equipment, materials and practical support needed to bring your ideas to life.

Custom Clothing and Merchandise

Screen Printing on T-Shirts & Clothing in Krakow

Screen printing is one of the most effective methods for creating durable designs on T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tote bags, aprons, workwear and other suitable textiles.

Each ink colour is printed separately through its own prepared screen. This makes the process particularly suitable for bold logos, illustrations, typography and graphic artwork using one or several solid colours.

Formowanie accepts small creative orders, artist editions, company merchandise, event clothing, clothing-brand samples and repeat production. Customers can supply suitable garments or order selected blank clothing through the studio.

Clothing for Brands, Teams and Events

Custom T-Shirts, Hoodies, Tote Bags & Workwear

Formowanie can screen print clothing and textile products for independent brands, artists, companies, restaurants, creative organisations, schools, sports groups, festivals and private events.

Screen printing is particularly valuable when the same design is repeated across several garments. Once the screen is prepared, the image can be printed consistently while retaining the character of a handcrafted process.

Customers may provide suitable clean garments or select blank T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tote bags and other products through Formowanie.

Screen printing works especially well for bold designs with a limited number of colours. It can produce excellent opacity on both light and dark textiles when the artwork, ink and underbase are prepared correctly.

Customer-supplied garments must be clean, flat, undamaged and suitable for the selected ink and curing method. Seams, pockets, zippers, waterproof coatings and irregular surfaces may affect the print.

Prints for Artists and Designers

Art Prints, Posters & Screen Printing on Paper

Screen printing on paper produces rich colour, visible texture and small variations that give every impression an individual quality.

Artists, illustrators, graphic designers and photographers can use the process to create posters, numbered editions, exhibition prints, album artwork, cards, packaging, book covers and experimental graphic work.

Designs may use solid shapes, hand-drawn marks, typography, photographic halftones or layered colours. Each colour requires a separate screen and careful registration.

From Artwork to Print

Screen Preparation, Exposure & Reclaiming Services

A successful screen print begins with a correctly prepared screen. The mesh is coated with light-sensitive emulsion, dried in controlled conditions, exposed using the artwork and washed to reveal the printable image.

Formowanie offers screen coating, artwork exposure, washing, taping, reclaiming and basic screen maintenance for artists and independent screen printers in Krakow.

Customers can provide a compatible screen or use a suitable Formowanie studio screen, subject to size and availability.

Prepare Artwork Correctly

Screen-Printing File Setup & Design Training

Screen-printing artwork must be prepared differently from ordinary digital printing. Each ink colour normally requires a separate black film positive, screen and printing stage.

Formowanie offers computer training in vector artwork, raster images, colour separation, registration marks, spot colours, halftones, image sizing and transparent-film preparation.

Training can be adapted to Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Inkscape or other suitable graphic-design software.

Simple one-colour artwork is normally prepared as solid black on transparent film. Multicolour projects require a separate film and screen for each colour.

Photographs and gradients can be reproduced using halftone dots, but the artwork must be matched to the screen mesh, ink and intended printing material.

Screen-Printing Materials at Formowanie

Material selection depends on the printing surface, desired finish, curing method, wash resistance and intended use of the finished product.

Textile Inks

Selected water-based or suitable textile inks can be used for printing on compatible cotton and blended fabrics.

Dark garments may require an underbase or specialist opaque ink.

Paper and Art Inks

Suitable inks can be used for posters, art editions, cards, packaging and selected flat materials.

Drying time and print behaviour depend on the paper and amount of ink deposited.

What Screen Printing Works Best For

Clothing and Merchandise

T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, workwear, uniforms, artist merchandise, brand collections and event clothing.

Posters and Art Editions

Limited-edition prints, exhibition posters, graphic art, album artwork, cards and numbered artist editions.

Business and Event Products

Branded clothing, promotional bags, restaurant aprons, festival merchandise and company-team products.

Creative Experimentation

Layered colours, hand-drawn marks, halftones, textures, overprinting and combinations with other artistic processes.

Screen printing is not ideal for every order

Each colour requires separate artwork, screen preparation and printing. For a single photorealistic shirt or a design containing many changing colours, another printing method may be more economical.

Screen printing becomes especially effective when the same bold design is repeated across several items or when the physical quality of the ink is an important part of the finished work.

Combine Creative Processes

Screen Printing Inside the Formowanie Makerspace

Formowanie is more than a screen-printing service. It is a creative environment where printmaking, digital fabrication, traditional craft and product development can come together.

Screen-printed graphics can be combined with laser-cut packaging, CNC-routed display stands, sewn textiles, vinyl lettering, leather products, ceramic objects, wooden panels and welded exhibition structures.

Laser cutting can help create registration tools, stencils and packaging. Vinyl cutting can support masks and lettering. Woodworking and metalworking can produce display systems for finished prints and merchandise.

This connection between different tools allows artists, designers and entrepreneurs to develop complete collections, installations and products rather than isolated printed pieces.
