Looking for something different for your Rosenberg t-shirts? Want to make your shirts pop, shine, or glow? With specialty inks like puff, metallic, and glow-in-the-dark, your screen printed apparel becomes more than just a shirt—it becomes a statement.

At Houston Screen Printing and Embroidery, we help Rosenberg clients boost engagement, fundraising, and social reach with special ink effects—available on all bulk t-shirt orders (24+).

What Are Specialty Inks?

Specialty inks are premium upgrades that give your shirts texture, shine, or glow:

  • 🧱 Puff Ink: Raised 3D texture you can feel

  • ✨ Metallic Ink: Reflective gold, silver, or chrome

  • 🌙 Glow-In-The-Dark Ink: Bright at night, charged by light

They’re perfect for creative brands, fun runs, youth programs, or groups that want to stand out in a sea of basic shirts.

1. Puff Ink – Add 3D Texture

Puff ink expands during curing, creating a raised, spongy feel.

  • Great for outlines, logos, or lettering

  • Adds dimension and fun to flat designs

  • Works best on thicker cotton tees

Perfect for:

  • 🙏 Church youth groups

  • 🎉 Event giveaways

  • 🧥 Layered streetwear or boutique merch

  • 🧒 School spirit shirts

Rosenberg clients love puff for its tactile quality and modern appeal.

2. Metallic Ink – Make It Shine

Metallic ink includes reflective particles that shimmer in light.

  • Available in gold, silver, bronze, and chrome

  • Great for branding, upscale giveaways, or promo merch

  • Pairs well with dark or deep-toned shirts

Ideal for:

  • 🏡 Real estate or small business launches

  • 🎁 Donor or sponsor gifts

  • 🎽 Church merch or concert/event shirts

  • 🛍️ Fashion-forward brands in Fort Bend

Add shine to key parts of your logo or text for premium impact.

3. Glow Ink – Stand Out in the Dark

Glow ink absorbs light and glows in low light or nighttime conditions.

  • Charges in sunlight or indoor lighting

  • Greenish glow standard; custom options available

  • Ideal for fun, nighttime events

Use glow ink in Rosenberg for:

  • 🌙 Lock-ins, night hikes, or fall festivals

  • 🧒 Youth events and camps

  • 🎃 Halloween-themed shirts

  • 📸 Instagram-worthy moments

Glow ink is always a conversation starter—especially for younger audiences.

Cost Breakdown & Bulk Benefits

Specialty ink upgrades add $1–$3 per shirt depending on ink and design size. But they’re more affordable when added to larger orders (48, 72, 144+).

We’ll help you:
