When it comes to custom branded apparel, two of the most popular decoration methods are screen printing and embroidery. Both options can make your logo stand out — but choosing the right one depends on your business, your design, and how the apparel will be used.
At PROMOXWEAR, we specialize in both screen printing and embroidery, helping businesses of all sizes look professional, unified, and on-brand — no matter their industry or location.
What Is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a process that uses ink and mesh screens to transfer your design onto fabric. Each color in your design gets its own screen, making it ideal for bold, colorful logos and large prints.
✅ Best For:
-
T-shirts, hoodies, and uniforms
-
Promotional giveaways
-
Event apparel (5K runs, company picnics, festivals)
-
Bulk orders (24+ items)
💡 Why Businesses Love It:
-
Cost-effective for large quantities
-
Bright, vibrant colors that pop
-
Great for cotton and blended fabrics
Screen printing gives your logo a smooth, soft finish that lasts wash after wash — perfect for companies that want affordable, eye-catching apparel to promote their brand.
What Is Embroidery?
Embroidery uses threads to stitch your logo directly into the garment. It’s a high-end method that gives your apparel a professional, long-lasting finish.
✅ Best For:
-
Polos, jackets, and hats
-
Corporate apparel
-
Restaurants, hospitality, and service uniforms
-
Smaller logo placements on chest or sleeve
💡 Why Businesses Love It:
-
Durable and long-lasting
-
Adds a textured, high-quality look
-
Perfect for moisture-wicking and performance fabrics
Embroidery is ideal when you want your employees to look sharp and consistent, whether they’re in the office, out in the field, or meeting clients.
