Choosing the Right Platen Size for Your Business - Screen Printing

Selecting the correct platen size is crucial for efficiency, versatility, and print quality. Many presses come with 16” or 18” platens, but for most screen printers, these are too large for everyday printing needs. Why Smaller, More Versatile Platens Are Better ✔ 90% of prints are 12" or smaller – A platen that’s too big limits your flexibility. ✔ Large platens restrict shirt size range – Oversized platens make it harder to print on youth and fitted styles. Recommended Platen Sizes: ✅ 14” x 20” – The Universal Standard Works for all standard shirts from Youth XS to Adult 6XL Provides the best balance between print area and shirt compatibility ✅ 10” x 20” – Ideal for Fashion & Fitted Shirts Perfect for women’s tees, fitted styles, and smaller garments Reduces fabric stretching for cleaner prints 💡 Pro Tip: Using the right platen size improves registration, reduces misprints, and makes loading shirts faster! 👉 Watch my setup video to learn how to properly align and level your platens for the best results. www.bisonplatensystems.com #platensize #platen #pallet #screenprinting #bisonplaten #shirtboards
