Our glow-in-the-dark Screen Printing service delivers long-lasting self-illuminating effects for textiles and apparel, combining advanced ink technology with precision printing execution. This functional solution is designed for performance and durability across safety, promotional, and branded applications.

Technical Principle

The printing process employs phosphorescent inks containing rare-earth aluminates. These micro-encapsulated pigments absorb and store ambient light energy—both natural and artificial—then emit consistent illumination in darkness. The emitted glow remains visible for 8–12 hours after full charging, with consistent performance over repeated cycles.

Performance Characteristics

• Wash Resistance: Withstands 100+ industrial washing cycles without cracking, fading, or reduction in luminescence

• Material Integrity: Preserves substrate softness, stretch, and breathability after printing

• Substrate Compatibility: Effective on cotton, poly-cotton blends, polyester, and performance fabrics

Production Process

Using high-mesh screens and controlled squeegee pressure, we apply evenly layered ink deposits to ensure consistent particle distribution and charging capacity. Each print undergoes full charging and darkness testing to verify glow duration and uniformity before shipment.

Applications

• Safety and visibility enhancements on workwear and emergency apparel

• Branded promotional wear with memorable visual impact

• Outdoor and adventure gear requiring passive illumination

• Children’s products requiring safety markings

Compliance & Certification

Inks meet OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Reach, and CPSIA requirements. Full technical data sheets and test reports are available upon request.
