A Swedish dishcloth is a practical everyday product that can also carry your brand’s own design. At TekoTryck in Sölvesborg, Sweden, we have offered custom-printed Swedish dishcloths since 1994. Since our company was founded in 1984, we have printed more than 30,000 unique designs across dishcloths, kitchen towels and other products. Today, we supply customers in more than 70 countries.

Our Printing Process in 7 Steps
All printing takes place at our own factory in Sölvesborg, Sweden. We offer both screen printing and digital printing.
Artwork
Send us your design. For screen printing we prefer vector AI, EPS or PDF files. For digital printing, supply high-resolution artwork in CMYK. We send a proof for approval before production.
Printing screens
For screen printing, we prepare one screen per print colour and make our own printing frames in Sölvesborg. Digital printing does not require screens.
Colour matching
We mix water-based screen-printing inks in our own colour lab, using Pantone Solid Uncoated (PMS U), TPX/TPG or a physical colour sample as a reference.
Printing
We offer screen printing with up to eight solid colours and CMYK digital printing. Digital printing starts at 100 pcs per design; screen printing usually starts at 500 pcs for 1–2 colours or 1,000 pcs for 3–4 colours.
Oven fixation & quality checks
After printing, both screen-printed and digitally printed dishcloths pass through an oven to fix the inks. We check the print quality during production.
Packaging
Choose custom-printed paper bands, barcode labels, multi-packs, gift sets or bulk packing. We help adapt the packaging to your requirements.
Delivery
We pack the finished products for delivery to customers in Sweden and internationally. TekoTryck supplies customers in more than 70 countries.
