Screen Printing
Screen Printing
Silkscreen printing services for aluminium, anodized and powder coated parts, applying multi-colour graphics, logos, scales and legends with precise registration.
Product Overview
Multi-Colour Graphics on Metal Surfaces
Where a part needs colour that anodizing cannot produce, or several colours on one panel, silkscreen printing is the practical route. We prepare screens from your artwork, mix ink to your Pantone reference and print with registration controlled to a fraction of a millimetre.
Zhigao is a manufacturer of screen printing serving customers in Europe, North America and Asia. Every order is produced to your drawing and inspected against your specification before shipment, with full documentation supplied.
