[nectar_dropcap]S[/nectar_dropcap]creen Printing or Embroidery. It really depends on what kind of work you want to do in, what you do, what is it and what industry are you in. We would like to show you the difference between screen printing and embroidery.

If you’re a real estate agent, we would definitely go with embroidery. If you’re a contractor and build houses then we would suggest screen print.

Screen Printing is a method of decoration, where ink is forced through a pattern/shape in a mesh screen (like a fly screen) on to fabric/metal/paper/etc. It uses the same basic principles as a stencil.

Once the screen printed the garment is then heated to cure the ink and bond it to the fabric.

Screen printing can be quite a time consuming especially when multiple colours are needed as each colour in the artwork has to be separated out and printed separately. Each colour also requires its own film and screen.

Screen printing is best suited for smooth fabrics such as cotton tee shirts but can be put on other types of garments if required.

Embroidery is the technique of decorating apparel, fabric, or other materials with needle and thread. It will last the life of the garment. An embroidery machine is used to sew directly on the product of choice. It’s more sophisticated and classy looking.

It kind of depends on the look you’re going for if you’re a real estate agent I would definitely go with embroidery. If you’re a contractor and you build houses that would go with screen print.

You can do full front and back with screen printing the process is a little bit more complicated and time-consuming so it’s geared to do more bulk shirts, you need to do at least 20. On embroidery there is no minimum order, you can do just one there’s larger setup with embroidery but their screen charges with screen printing so if you’re not sure which way to go, please contact Logowear Australia.
