🧵 Embroidered custom clothing
Embroidery stitches designs onto fabric, creating a textured, hand-crafted look.
There are two main types: standard embroidery, which uses a limited number of thread colors for clean, elegant designs like logos or names, and unlimited color embroidery, perfect for complex designs needing many colors or even gradients.
Another style is 3D puff embroidery, which adds a raised, 3D effect for extra flair.
👕 Printed custom clothing
Printing offers versatility for different fabrics and nearly any color. The three main techniques are:
DTG (direct-to-garment): Prints intricate, colorful designs directly onto fabric with inkjet printers, offering quick printing and low costs.
Sublimation: Transfers designs onto polyester fabrics using heat and special inks.
Direct-to-film: Prints designs on a special film, then transfers them onto fabric with heat and pressure, ensuring high-quality, durable prints for various fabric types.
↔️ Embroidered vs. printed products: key differences
Choosing a customization technique depends on understanding the pros and cons of both.
Look and Feel: Embroidery offers premium, textured designs, while DTG provides vibrant, blendable prints. Sublimation ensures durable, smooth designs on polyester, and DTF offers bold, textured prints suitable for various fabrics.
Design Complexity: Embroidery excels at simple designs, DTG, and sublimation work for most patterns and prints, and DTF reproduces intricate designs clearly.
Design Size: Embroidery is ideal for small designs; printing techniques (DTG, sublimation, DTF) are better for larger designs.
Colors: Embroidery uses thread, which are limited to 15 colors for standard embroidery. Printing (DTG, sublimation, DTF) uses ink for unlimited colors, but outcomes vary based on the fabric and technique.
🏆 Embroidery or printing?
Embroidery and printing both offer great results, serving different purposes.
For established brands, embroidery adds premium details to items like t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and patches. Printing offers versatility for larger designs and a wide product selection.
