Clean new aluminum frames
Clean new aluminum frames

Trading in old screens for new ones can improve efficiency, quality, and profitability for most screen printers.

Post this

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Atlas Screen Supply Company pioneered the idea of trading-in old aluminum frames for new frames. The New Frame Trade-In Program offered by Atlas is an option where the screen printer receives brand new frames at a discounted price (as low as $14.95 for white 40-160 mesh) by turning in their old frames before or after the new frames are shipped. It is important to note that screens must be 20 x 24 or 23 x 31 and returned clean (free of ink) with mesh removed (cut) from the screen. The trade-in program allows printers to save up to 38% on the cost of new screens with mesh stretched to about 20 newtons.

There are numerous benefits to the New Frame Trade-In Program. The most important benefit is new frames are structurally better than remeshed frames because they have not been resurfaced by grinding the glue off, and they have not endured years of stress from usage during printing. The superiority of new frames is evidenced by the fact that re-meshed frames are available from Atlas for as little as $9.95 each while new frames with mesh start at $24.00.

The trade-in program offers a much quicker turnaround time. Using an outside service the frames have to be cleaned, packed up and sent out, and then they are shipped back 2-5 days after they are received by the re-meshing company. With the Atlas trade-in program your new screens can be shipped the same day and you only pay the trade-in price provided your old screens are received by Atlas within 30 days.    

Shipping costs can also be greatly reduced. Companies can return worn screens in bulk. Then over the next six months they can order new aluminum screens at the trade-in price as needed with the exact type of mesh needed.

The trade-in program also saves screen printers a significant amount of money and shop space. An average screen printing company can easily accumulate 50-100 aluminum frames.  Utilizing the trade-in program and the faster turnaround times it affords, on-hand screen inventory can be reduced by 20 or 30 frames. This frees up $500 to $1,000 in cash as well as valuable shop space.

Screen printers can also use the program to “upgrade” their shops by trading in smaller 20 x 24 frames and purchasing new larger 23 x 31 frames.

A lot of screen printing companies are very anxious to bring re-meshing in-house. This requires investment in a screen stretcher  costing around $1,800 and a grinder. Material and labor costs will average $6.45 to $9.95 per frame.   This is not including overhead and other miscellaneous costs.  When stretching just a couple of frames per week your overhead cost per frame will go up because the space for screen stretching is not being properly utilized.  Labor costs will also go up because it is hard to be proficient in something you are not doing consistently.  This means that unless you are stretching screens a couple of times per week for several hours, you will most likely never reap the benefits of stretching screens in-house.

For a high volume shop bringing re-meshing in-house may be an option and Atlas can supply all of the screen printing equipment and material needed to implement that option.  However, for the vast majority of screen printers it is going to be more economical to either have them re-meshed or use the New Frame Trade-In Program.

The New Frame Trade-In Program from Atlas offers the advantages of higher quality, faster turnaround, lower shipping costs, reduced capital expenditures, and increased flexibility in screen sizes. It is a wonderful and popular program that should be considered by every small to mid-size screen printing company.
