Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery stitches your logo or design directly into the fabric, giving polos, hats, jackets, uniforms, and workwear a premium, textured finish that lasts through repeated washing. Screen printing applies ink to the garment surface, making it ideal for bold graphics, large designs, t-shirts, hoodies, event apparel, and high-volume orders with vibrant color needs.
