Lawson Athletic Numbering Attachment System: The Professional Jersey Solution

Stop struggling with expensive, one-time-use heat transfers and messy paper stencils. The Lawson Athletic Numbering Attachment System is the industry’s most reliable solution for high-volume, professional team numbering. Designed to integrate seamlessly with almost any manual screen printing press, this system allows you to print custom 1-color and 2-color numbers for a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

Why Screen Print Your Numbers?

  • Pennies per Print: While heat transfers can cost dollars per garment, screen printing your numbers costs only cents in ink and emulsion.
  • Indestructible Durability: Unlike vinyl that can crack or peel, screen-printed numbers bond to the fabric, lasting the entire life of the jersey.
  • Perfect 2-Color Registration: Our unique master frame and registration pin system ensures that every "outline" or "shadow" font aligns perfectly every time.
  • Complete Font Flexibility: While we offer a standard Full Block 2-Color Font, you can create your own custom number sets using any computer font.

What’s Included in the System?

This all-in-one kit provides everything you need to start professional numbering immediately:

  • 25" x 23" Aluminum Master Frame: Ruggedly built to fit into your existing press clamps.
  • 20 Pre-Stretched Screens: Ready for imaging your chosen number set.
  • 8" Two-Color Film Positives: High-density films in your choice of font (San Diego, 3D, or Full Block).
  • Pro-Grade Accessories: Includes two 8" squeegees, spacer blocks for perfect "Number 1" alignment, and a 9" emulsion coater.

Lawson Athletic Numbering Attachment System & Screen Printing Stencils


The Lawson Athletic Numbering Attachment System is an industrial screen printing attachment engineered for fast, precise, and cost-effective jersey and team sports numbering. Designed as a universal retrofit for standard manual screen printing presses, this master frame system eliminates expensive, single-use heat transfers and slow vinyl weeding by printing durable 1-color and 2-color athletic numbers at a fraction of the cost per garment.

Why Screen Print Team Numbers Over Vinyl & Transfers?


Screen printed numbering provides distinct economic and operational advantages for team wear decorators:

  • Maximum Profit Margins: While individual vinyl film cutouts or custom heat transfers can cost dollars per jersey, screen printing team numbers costs only pennies in ink and emulsion.
  • High-Durability Washability: Screen printing ink bonds directly into athletic mesh, polyester, and jersey fabrics without cracking, peeling, or lifting during intense games or wash cycles.
  • Pin-Registration Precision: A specialized master frame and registration pin alignment system guarantees perfect outline and shadow alignment on 2-color athletic fonts every time.
  • Complete Font Versatility: Choose standard pre-exposed film positive sets—such as Full Block, San Diego, or 3D—or output custom team font sets using standard film output equipment.


All Lawson athletic numbering machines, master frames, and stencil kits are Made in the USA and backed by nationwide technical support, equipment financing, and supply shipping from primary facilities in St. Louis, MO, and Atlanta, GA.

Athletic Numbering Systems: FAQ

How much does it cost to screen print numbers using this system?


Unlike vinyl heat transfers or custom film transfers that cost several dollars per shirt, screen printing numbers with the Lawson system costs only pennies per print in ink and emulsion, dramatically increasing shop profit on athletic orders.

Is the Lawson numbering system compatible with my manual press?


Yes. The 25" x 23" Aluminum Master Frame is engineered to clamp securely into standard manual screen printing press heads, allowing universal attachment across almost any press brand.

How does the registration system ensure perfect 2-color alignment?


The system utilizes a master frame paired with a precision pin-registration setup. Once calibrated, individual number screens lock onto the registration pins instantly, ensuring exact alignment for two-color outline and shadow fonts without tedious manual micro-adjustments between numbers.

Can I print custom fonts instead of standard athletic block fonts?


Yes. While the complete kit includes high-density film positives for standard athletic fonts (such as Full Block, San Diego, or 3D), you can output your own custom number positives using any digital font on your graphics computer.
