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.
