Which Is Better: Printed or Embroidered Logos on Company Uniforms?

Whether you choose printed or embroidered uniforms depends largely on your business type and budget.

There are countless ways to customize your work uniforms and make sure that all of your employees have a professional appearance. Two of the most popular options are screen or digitally-printed logos and embroidered logos. When you are making the choice between printed or embroidered, what should you choose? 

What Are the Types of Printing and Embroidering?

There are a few options when deciding if you want a printed or embroidered logo on your uniforms. Direct printing uses a special technique that firmly attaches the design to the garment, which allows for long wear without much fading. Indirect printing can be used with vinyl or transfers that are pressed onto the shirt and attached using various means, like heat. Embroidered logos are placed onto shirts through a machine that makes many stitches to perfectly recreate your logo. 

What Type of Business Do You Run?

One of the considerations when choosing printed or embroidered shirts is what industry you operate in. What is practical for your workplace? A restaurant server might look great in a polo shirt, while someone working washing dishes in the back might need a screen-printed shirt to improve the longevity of the design. We can help you choose the best type of printed or embroidered shirts for your needs. 

What Garments Do You Need to Customize? 

When choosing between printed or embroidered customization options, you should also consider what type of garments you need to customize. Polo shirts, for example, often look better with embroidery than printing. However, thick construction jackets that are waterproofed might require printing instead. 

What Is Your Budget?

Finally, when you are choosing between printed or embroidered garments, you should think about your total budget. Depending on the size of the graphic, the number of colors involved, and how quickly you need it finished, we can provide you with a customized quote.
