Screen Printing Platens / Pallet Boards – Standard Wood Platens
A good print starts before the squeegee ever moves. When a shirt is loaded square, smooth, and steady, registration is easier, ink lays down cleaner, and every pull feels more controlled. These standard wood screen printing platens are built to give printers a dependable printing surface for everyday apparel work.
Made from 18mm MDF with a heat-resistant melamine surface rated up to 200°C, these platen boards are designed for screen printing shops, schools, studios, and DIY printers who need reliable replacement pallet boards for their press. The smooth melamine top helps garments slide on cleanly while giving you a solid, stable base for printing T-shirts, hoodies, sleeves, youth garments, infant garments, pockets, hats, and more.
Each board is CNC cut for accurate shape and sizing, helping keep your setup consistent from job to job. Protective kraft paper on both sides helps guard the surface from scratches during shipping, so your platen arrives ready for the print room.
