Hoodie Printing - Creative Design and Print

Hoodie Printing

Custom screen printed hoodies for businesses, teams, schools and events across Auckland.

Here's the thing about hoodies. People wear them constantly. Not because they have to, but because they want to. That makes hoodie printing one of the smartest moves for getting your brand out there. We do custom screen printed hoodies at our Henderson hoodie printing studio for Auckland businesses, sports teams, schools and anyone who needs branded gear that won't collect dust. Check out our screen printing catalogue for the other garment types we handle.

What is Hoodie Printing?

Think about it. A printed t-shirt might end up in the back of a drawer. A hoodie? That becomes someone's go-to layer for Saturday errands, morning walks, and everything in between. Your logo goes everywhere they go. And screen printing on hoodies holds up beautifully, staying vibrant wash after wash because the ink bonds right into the fabric.

We print on pullover hoodies, zip-up hoodies, heavyweight fleece and lightweight performance hoodies. Print locations include large back prints, left chest logos, sleeve graphics and even hood printing if you want full coverage. We source from brands like AS Colour (the most popular choice here in NZ) and Gildan Heavy Blend, both of which hold their shape and take ink really well.

Schools, sports clubs and businesses across Auckland come back to us for hoodie printing because the results last. If you're after something with a bit more texture on the chest placement, we also do embroidered logo alternatives that pair nicely with screen printed backs.

Our Process

Our Hoodie Printing Process

01

Design Consultation

We talk through what you need. How many hoodies, what's the design, pullover or zip-up? Simple conversation to get things pointed in the right direction.

02

Hoodie Selection

Not all blanks are created equal. We help you pick the right weight, fit and style from suppliers we trust, whether you want a premium AS Colour or a solid Gildan option.

03

Artwork Preparation

Hoodies have pockets, zippers and seams that affect where prints land. We prep your artwork to work with those features rather than fight them.

04

Print Method Selection

Screen printing handles heavier hoodie fabric really well. We'll recommend the right approach based on your design and the blank you've chosen.

05

Sample Approval

For bigger orders or brand new designs, we run a sample first. You get to see the actual print on the actual hoodie before we commit to the full run.

06

Production Run

Hoodie fabric needs different curing temps and ink application than a standard tee. We adjust our process for each job to get proper adhesion on heavier material.

07

Quality Control and Delivery

We check every single hoodie before it leaves. Print quality, garment condition, proper curing. Then it's packaged for pickup at Henderson or delivered to you.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Creative Design and Print for Hoodie Printing?

Prints That Withstand Washing

The ink bonds into the fabric fibres. With basic care (inside out, cold wash), your prints stay sharp for years. Not months. Years.

Quality Blanks That Last

We don't use cheap hoodies that shrink after one wash or lose their shape by week three. We source from brands we've tested and trust.

Multiple Print Locations

Front, back, sleeves, hood. We match colours across every print position on the garment so your branding looks cohesive, not patchy.

Understanding Hoodie Construction

Kangaroo pockets, centre seams, zipper plackets. These all affect where you can print and how. We design around them, not through them.

Wide Size Range Availability

XS through 4XL with proportional print scaling so the design looks right on every size, not just the medium you approved the proof on.

Local Auckland Service

We're in Henderson. You can pick up in person if you want, or we'll sort delivery. Either way, you've got a local team managing your job.

Hoodie Printing Pricing

What you'll pay for hoodie printing depends on the blank you choose, how many print locations you need and your order size. We'll break it all down in your quote.

Blank Quality Matters

An AS Colour hoodie and a basic import are different products entirely. The blank you pick affects the final result and the overall cost.

Multi-Location Printing

Adding sleeves, hood or back prints to a front chest logo increases per-garment cost, but it also means your branding actually gets noticed.

Bigger Orders, Better Per-Unit

The more hoodies in the run, the more that fixed screen setup cost gets spread out. Teams and businesses benefit here.

Setup Is a One-Time Thing

Screen setup happens once per design. So whether you print 20 or 200, that setup cost stays the same.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hoodie Printing

AS Colour is the go-to in New Zealand. Great fit, heaps of colours, and they take ink beautifully. Gildan Heavy Blend is a solid workhorse option too, and JB's Wear works well for certain applications. We'll recommend the right brand once we know what you're after.
Most of our hoodie orders include both front and back prints. It all happens in the same production run. Left chest on the front, big graphic on the back. We match colours across positions so everything looks consistent.
Screen printing. Full stop. When the ink is properly cured, it bonds into the cotton fibres and holds up through hundreds of washes. For hoodies that'll see heavy use (which is most of them, honestly), screen printing is the way to go.
We can, yes. But the curved surface and seams make it trickier than a flat chest print. Smaller designs work better here. Some hoodie styles also allow lining prints. Best to tell us what you're picturing and we'll let you know what's realistic.
The kangaroo pocket opening on pullovers creates a gap in any design that crosses it. So we typically place prints above the pocket (chest area), below it, or split the design to sit on either side. It's something we plan around during artwork prep.
Flip them inside out before washing. Cold water, low tumble dry or hang dry. Don't iron over the print. That's basically it. Follow those steps and your prints will outlast the hoodie itself.
Absolutely. Zip-ups and pullovers both work. The zipper splits the front panel, so front designs usually sit on the left chest. Back prints are identical to pullovers. We'll adjust the design layout to suit whichever style you choose.
