Wood squeegee blades remain one of the most commonly used tools in the screen printing industry, especially for small studios and manual textile printing. The natural wooden handle gives printers a comfortable, ergonomic grip, making it easy to control pressure and angle throughout the printing stroke. Wood absorbs less vibration than aluminum, offering smoother and more stable movement. The polyurethane blade inserted into the wooden handle comes in different hardness levels—soft blades for heavy ink deposits, medium blades for standard fabric printing, and hard blades for detailed designs or thinner inks. Wood squeegee blades are also cost-effective, making them accessible for beginners or high-consumption print shops. Although aluminum handles offer more durability in large-scale production, wood squeegee blades still excel in short runs, specialized projects, and everyday textile printing. Their simple structure, ease of use, and affordability keep them a staple tool for professional printers who prioritize comfort, flexibility, and stable results during manual printing.
Wood handles offer a natural, ergonomic feel that provides excellent comfort during long printing sessions.
Choose soft blades for heavy ink layers, medium blades for general textile printing, and hard blades for fine-detail graphics.
Wood squeegees are perfect for hand printing because they absorb shock and give greater control over pressure and angle.
Suitable for plastisol, water-based, and solvent inks—just select the correct blade hardness for better ink flow.
Wood squeegee blades are affordable, and the polyurethane blade can be easily replaced when worn, extending overall squeegee life.
