<![CDATA[Contemporary product design emphasizes not only aesthetics and functionality but also the use of eco-friendly materials and production processes. One surface decoration technique worth developing is gradient Screen Printing, which creates gradual color blends and imparts a distinct visual character to products. This study explores literature regarding eco-friendly gradient Screen Printing techniques to support product design. A literature review methodology was employed, utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. Searches were conducted across databases such as SpringerLink, Emerald Insight, Cambridge Core, and Google Scholar, using keywords related to gradient Screen Printing, Screen Printing, natural dyes, eco-friendly materials, and sustainable design. Articles were selected based on topic relevance, a publication period of 2021-2026, language (Indonesian or English), and full-text availability. The selection process yielded four articles for analysis. The review indicates that gradient Screen Printing has the potential to produce smooth, attractive color blends, while eco-friendly materials such as natural dyes, natural thickeners, and biomass can serve as alternative printing ingredients. However, print outcomes remain influenced by factors such as paste formulation, viscosity, binders, substrate type, and printing parameters. Consequently, further experimentation and evaluation are required to achieve consistent gradient results and good print durability while maintaining a focus on sustainability. Overall, integrating gradient Screen Printing techniques with eco-friendly materials holds the potential to foster product designs that combine aesthetic appeal with sustainability principles.]]>
