Printing and Embroidery solutions

Printing and embroidery are two popular methods of customizing corporate apparel, and each method has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these differences can help your business choose the best solution for your needs.

 

Printing

Printing is a broad category that includes several different techniques, including screen printing, transfer printing, and direct-to-garment (DTG) printing.

​

Screen printing is one of the most popular methods of printing on clothes. It is ideal for large orders and can be used on a wide range of materials. The advantages of screen printing include its durability and the ability to produce clear, vibrant colors. The downside is that it can be expensive for small orders as there are costs associated with creating screens for each design.

Transfer printing involves transferring a design from a special paper to the garment using heat. It is a good solution for small orders or for designs with many colors. The downside is that it is not as durable as screen printing and the colors may fade over time.

Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is a newer technology that prints designs directly onto the garment, much like a regular printer. It's great for complex designs with lots of colors, but it's not as durable as screen printing and is best suited for light-colored clothing.

 

Embroidery

Embroidery is the process of sewing a design directly into the fabric. It provides a professional, high-quality look that is ideal for company logos and uniforms. Embroidery is very durable and can withstand frequent washing without fading. The downside is that it can be more time-consuming and expensive than printing, especially for complex or very colorful designs.

​
