SCREENPRINTING

WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?

Screen printing is the process of printing designs onto various materials using a mesh screen stencil, a squeegee, and ink. Screen printing is commonly used to create t-shirts, posters, and other custom items with high-quality and long-lasting designs.

Advantages of Screen Printing

Screen printing involves the meshing of a digital image onto a fabric. As with embroidery, screen printing has both benefits and shortcomings. These are some of the most notable advantages:
  • Cost: Screen printing is generally more cost-effective than embroidery. The difference in price between the two increases as the size of the design increases. 
  • Customizability: The extent to which designs can be customized and the range of design-related options is much larger in the case of screen printing than embroidery. 
  • Aesthetic: Some people prefer the smoother and glossier appearance of a screen printed image as compared to an embroidered one. Which aesthetic is ideal for your business will depend on your preferences, the intended style, and the inclinations of your clients.

Screen printing has some disadvantages as well:
  • Appearance: Whereas in some cases the smooth and glossy appearance of a screen printed image can be desirable, it may be perceived by some as being lower quality and less elegant than embroidery. In general, embroidery is associated with a more sophisticated look than screen printing. 
  • Design-related costs and time: Though screen printing is generally more cost-effective and time-efficient than embroidery, it can still be costly depending on the complexity and size of the design.

    EMBROIDERY

    WHAT IS EMBROIDERY?

    Embroidery involves decorating fabric with needle and thread. Our custom embroidery services can be used on a wide variety of garments from polos and work shirts, to tees and hoodies, as well as a number of accessories like caps, beanies, and bags.

    Advantages of Embroidery 

    Embroidery is a classic technique that involves sewing a pattern into a fabric in a customized manner. There are many advantages of embroidery:

    • Aesthetic: For most people, embroidery will likely provide a more elegant and professional appearance than screen printing, although there are certainly exceptions. 
    • Feel: Embroidery involves a deeper integration of the thread with the fabric than the mesh process involved in screen printing, so the feel will be smoother and more natural in the former. 
    • Usability: Embroidery can be performed on a much wider variety of materials than screen printing, making it more versatile and applicable for a larger range of businesses. 
    While embroidery has many benefits, it also has some drawbacks:
    • Price: Embroidery is generally more costly than screen printing, particularly if the design is more complex or requires a greater level of customization. 
    • Options: Embroidery designs are limited to the skill and imagination of the embroiderer, while screen printing can encompass an infinite number of digital images, so the former is more restricted with respect to the patterns that can be applied to fabrics. 
    • Size: As the size of the embroidered pattern increases, the rigidity of the cloth will also increase, which can defeat the purpose of fine and smooth fabrics like silk or linen
    Based on these disadvantages, screen printing may be a more viable option for many applications.
