Thanks!

Graduation season is here, and we’re proud to help schools celebrate their seniors in a BIG way!

We recently produced custom yard signs for a local school district, perfect for recognizing students’ hard work and giving families something to proudly display at home. These signs are a simple, impactful way to boost school spirit and honor your graduating class.

If your district is looking to do something similar, we’d love to help bring it to life. From design to production, we make the process easy and efficient.

Memorial Day means more than a long weekend.

Today we remember the men and women who gave everything for this country and the freedoms we get to enjoy every day. A lot of families paid the price so the rest of us could live the way we do.

From all of us at Hansen Screen Printing, thank you to those who served and especially those who never made it home.

Take a minute today to remember what Memorial Day is really about.

Freedom isn’t free.

Owner/operator life looks a little different than the big companies.

A lot of places shut the laptop at 5 on Friday and you won’t hear back until Monday morning. Emails sit, artwork gets passed through multiple departments, orders get bounced around, and production gets shipped out to contract shops somewhere else. Things get missed when too many hands touch the same job.

We’re a small local team, and we like it that way. The same people answering emails and building relationships with customers are the same ones coating screens, dialing in artwork, and making sure the prints leaving the shop are right.

Spent today in the screen room coating screens with emulsion and getting everything lined up for the week ahead. We’ve even got local high school students coming in on weekends helping clean and reclaim screens, learning the process and being part of the shop environment.

It’s not about “grind culture.” It’s about being flexible, staying hands-on, and building something local where people know who they’re working with and trust the work that’s going out the door.

It’s funny how a plant in a print shop can remind you what growth really looks like.

New leaves don’t show up overnight. Same goes for business. It’s long days, ink-stained hands, missed lunches, fixing problems on the fly, and showing up again tomorrow to do it all over.

But every once in a while you look around the shop and realize… damn, we’re growing.

More prints. More people. More opportunities. More lessons.

That’s the exciting part. Not “making it”, but seeing the hard work start pushing through the dirt throughout the process.




On to the next leaf 🌱

Some mornings just feel right.

The sun coming through the shop this morning hitting the plants, the shirts, and casting shadows across the office was a good reminder of how lucky we are to do what we do.

Running a business comes with long days, problems to solve, stress, and plenty of ups and downs. That’s just part of it. But at the end of the day, the good always outweighs the bad.

We get to wake up every day, work with our hands, build something real, and serve our community and people all over the country. That’s something we never take for granted.

We’re grateful for every order, every customer, every conversation, and every person that’s helped support this shop along the way.

Just feeling thankful today.

Have a great weekend. Don’t forget to call your mom on Sunday!

Screen printing isn’t just a decoration method it’s a craft that’s been refined over decades and for good reason. While new technologies come and go, traditional screen printing continues to stand the test of time because of its durability, vibrancy, and consistency.

At its core, screen printing is about pushing ink through a mesh screen onto a garment. It may sound simple, but the difference is in the details and the experience behind it.

Mesh count plays a role in how ink lays down on a garment. Lower mesh lets more ink through for bold prints, while higher mesh helps capture finer detail and a softer feel. It is one of many small decisions that separate an average print from a great one.

Choosing the right approach is not guesswork it is craftsmanship. It is understanding how everything works together to create a final product that looks right and lasts.

In a world full of shortcuts, speed often replaces quality and convenience replaces care. It is easy to rush a job, cut corners, or rely on methods that look good for the moment but do not hold up over time. We see it every day.

We choose a different path. We take the time to dial in the details, use the right materials, and trust a process that has proven itself again and again. Because when you slow down and do it right, the result speaks for itself.

Screen printing is not about the fastest way to get ink on a shirt. It is about doing it the right way so it looks better, feels better, and lasts longer.

Not all sweatshirts are created equal.

We don’t go for the cheapest blank we can find. We suggest/pick premium, tried-and-true sweatshirts that are built to last. The kind you reach for every day. The kind that doesn’t shrink into a crop top after one wash. The kind that actually gets softer over time.

Too many shops cut corners with low-grade brands that look good for about… one wear. Then it’s game over. Marking up a cheap sweatshirt doesn’t bring a customer back.

We’d rather do it right:

-Better fabric
- Better fit
- Better feel
- Longer lifespan

Because if your sweatshirt isn’t becoming your new favorite… what’s the point?

Quality always wins.

It’s Always sweater season in Wisconsin.
