For screen printing shops
Screen printing shop management software, built for how you actually work
Screen printing shop management software should know your trade on day one. Sign up as a screen shop and PrinterFlo opens already stocked: run charges by colour count with real quantity breaks, screen charges, ink add-ons, garment products at your markup — every number editable, nothing to build from a blank page. Then it keeps the whole job in one place: quote, art approval, press schedule and payments.

What screen printing shops struggle with
- •Order details and art approvals scattered across email and texts.
- •The press schedule living in someone's head — no view of what's approved and ready versus stuck.
- •Screens burned for a job the customer hadn't actually signed off.
- •Pricing matrices locked behind a premium tier, on software whose price climbs every renewal.
- •Quotes chased by hand — approved jobs sitting there with no deposit collected.
How PrinterFlo helps
- →Starts stocked for your trade: run charges for 1–6 colours with quantity breaks (a 1-colour print steps from about $1.90 a piece at 24 down toward $0.55 at 5,000 — edit any cell), screens, underbase, specialty inks.
- →Quantity-break pricing on every option, included at one flat price — not gated to a top tier.
- →Batch the board by what the floor batches by: filter to every job on darks, or every job sharing a screen set.
- →No-login approval links that lock the art down in writing before a single screen gets burned.
- →Automations on real events: quote approved → the deposit request emails itself; order created → your production checklist is already on it.
Pricing that works like your rate card, everywhere
Screen printing is priced on a grid — quantity down one side, colour count across the top — and most software either locks that grid behind its most expensive tier or makes you rebuild it per product. In PrinterFlo quantity breaks are just how options price: a 2-colour run charge carries its own breaks, a specialty ink adds its flat per-piece, the garment carries your markup, and the quote shows cost and margin per line as you build it. The starter numbers come from real contract price sheets, and every one of them is a cell you can edit.
The approval has to come before the screens
The most expensive mistake in a screen shop is production ahead of sign-off — screens burned, ink mixed, garments staged for art the customer meant to change. PrinterFlo makes the approval a gate, not a hope: the proof goes out as a no-login link, the yes comes back stamped on the job, and the board shows the order as ready for press only once that has happened. And the moment the customer approves, the deposit request can go out automatically — the job funds itself before the shop opens.
A floor that batches, and a board that knows it
A press schedule isn't a status ladder — the floor batches by setups. Every job on darks needs the underbase; every job sharing a screen set wants to run together. PrinterFlo's board filters by those attributes, so instead of marching orders one by one through a pipeline you can see every job waiting on the same setup and run them as one. Software built around a single status column structurally can't show you that view.
For shops that print more than shirts
Plenty of screen shops also run banners, coroplast, stickers or wide-format jobs — and garment-only software falls over the moment a sign order walks in. PrinterFlo prices by quantity breaks for apparel and by size and material for everything else, on the same quote if needed. One system for the mixed work a real shop actually takes.
Screen printing shop management software — FAQ
What is the best shop management software for screen printing?
The best screen printing shop management software prices on the quantity-and-colours grid you already quote from, locks artwork approval down before production, and shows the press schedule as a board the whole floor can read. PrinterFlo does all three at one flat price — including the pricing grids that garment-industry suites reserve for their top tier — and opens pre-stocked with editable run charges the day you sign up.
Is there free screen printing software?
Fully free shop-management software tends to cost you in other ways — usually your data or your time. PrinterFlo has a free 14-day trial with everything included, plus genuinely free tools like the price calculator and print file checker that don't need an account at all.
What software do screen printing shops use?
Screen printers use shop-management tools for quoting, art approval and scheduling — Printavo is the best-known garment-focused one. PrinterFlo covers the same ground with quantity-break pricing included rather than tier-gated, adds a board that batches by setup instead of a single status pipeline, and also handles sign and wide-format work if your output is mixed.
Does PrinterFlo handle screen printing pricing matrices?
Yes — and they're included, not an upsell. Run charges are options with quantity breaks: pick 3 colours on 144 pieces and the per-piece rate is read off your breaks automatically. New screen-printing accounts start with a researched rate card already loaded, and every number is editable.
