Printing the design
Printing is commonly used as the method for advertising and promotional needs for a company brand. The reason for this is the lower cost that is needed to get the image printed on the garment. Printing can also be used for hand-drawn or any complicated designs easily, the process is hassle-free and stress-free of any correction that could be needed.
Printing can easily handle any complicated design using any mix of colours that you need. This makes it exactly matching to the design and colour combination that you have in your original designs such as logo images that need precision. It will have a clean and smart look.
Printing tends to stand out serving the purpose of advertising. Printing can also be used when the graphic design needs to be used on the T-shirts. Printed garments are frequently seen as bought in bulk, giving them a better rate of investment.
Embroidery designs
When you need the logo designed on a thicker garment, embroidery is the best. Though the embroidery is a costlier option, the durability and long-lasting quality of the embroidery designs make it a cost-effective option to choose.
Embroidery is the best option to make larger designs. But ensure that heavy gradients and complicated colours are not used in the embroidery designing for better results.
Note that both embroidery and printing are used to personalise the fabric with your unique design.
When you need to make the personalized design on garments such as a hoodie, polo and sweatshirt, choose embroidery over the printing. This is because the embroidery designs offers the look formal and professionalism. Embroidery patterns are sure to last longer and will not fade even with several washes. And hence is considered as the cost-effective solution especially for uniforms and other regular wears that continue to look good well beyond what you’d get from a printed design.
The thinner garments tend to pull the fabric while attempting the embroidery pattern. Hence the printing is the best suitable method for such fabrics.
The issue with printing is that designs tend to crack and peel, show signs of wear and tear after a few washes. The colour in the printed design also fades after a while.
Both printing and embroidery designs offer a nice finish to the garment. Even the finer details can be neatly printed onto the fabric, yet embroidery adds an extra element of class and makes your brand stand out when worn. Printing gives a two-dimensional effect whereas the shine on the embroidery offers a projected three-dimensional effect to the design.
