Embroidery vs Print — Which to Choose

Cheap flat prints make a premium jacket feel fake. For brand logos we default to high-density embroidery — but each method has its place.

High-Density Embroidery

  • Feel: raised, textured, premium — the mark of a real outerwear brand.
  • Density: up to 1,500 stitches/cm², 3D puff option, up to 12 thread colours.
  • Durability: survives washing, abrasion, and years of wear without cracking.
  • Best for: chest logos, cuffs, caps, varsity letters, corporate uniforms.
  • Limit: fine gradients and photo detail don't translate to thread.

Print (Screen / Heat / Sublimation)

  • Feel: flat against the fabric — lower cost, lighter weight.
  • Detail: photo-realistic art, gradients, and unlimited colours.
  • Durability: good with proper ink/cure; cheap transfers can peel over time.
  • Best for: all-over graphics, large back blocks, complex multi-colour art.
  • Limit: can read as low-end on a premium shell if used for the main logo.

Not sure? Send your logo file — we mock up both and recommend the right method for your fabric and price point.

Mix Multiple Techniques Per Garment

A typical premium jacket might combine: embroidered chest logo + laser-cut sleeve patch + woven neck label + screen-printed care label. We handle all 4 techniques in one production run.

Custom Logo & Branding FAQ

What logo application methods do you offer? expand_more

Six in-house methods: high-density 3D embroidery, sublimation, screen print (up to 8 colors), heat transfer, laser-cut appliqué, and woven labels. For a brand logo we default to embroidery; rubber/PVC patches and metal badges are also available. Multiple methods can be combined on one garment.

What logo file formats do you accept? expand_more

Vector files are best — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG — because they scale cleanly to any size. We also accept high-resolution PNG. For embroidery we convert your file into a stitch file (digitizing); for print we set up your artwork to the correct dimensions and Pantone colors.

Is there a digitizing or setup cost for embroidery? expand_more

Embroidery requires a one-time digitizing step to turn your logo into a stitch file, and screen print needs film/screen setup. These one-time fees are modest and are often waived or credited against a bulk order — we confirm the exact cost in your quote.

Where on the jacket can the logo be placed? expand_more

Common placements are left chest, full back, sleeve, collar/neck label, cuff and hem. You can specify multiple placements on one garment — for example an embroidered chest logo plus a laser-cut sleeve patch and a woven neck label, all in one production run.

What is the minimum quantity per logo? expand_more

MOQ is 30 pieces per design per colorway, and your custom logo is included from that first run. Custom molded items such as branded metal zipper pulls carry their own higher minimum (around 500 pieces for the mold).

Can you match my exact brand colors for embroidery thread? expand_more

Yes. We Pantone-match embroidery thread and print inks to your brand colors. Send your Pantone (TPX/TCX or C) references and we select the closest thread shades, confirming on your paid sample before bulk so the color is locked.
