When should I use embroidery and when should I use silk-screening on wearables?
A. The answer varies depending upon your final desired result. Silk-screening is perfect for T-shirts, sweatpants and shorts. It is ideal for an imprint that includes small text and/or detailed artwork. Embroidery is best on polo shirts, dress shirts, hats and visors. While silk-screening will also work on these items, embroidery adds class and professionalism to your product. Embroidery is limited when it comes to text size and intricate detail. However, the use of thread colors is limitless. Silk-screening prices are based on the number of colors you choose.
