Embroidery: Best for logos and professional-looking designs with a polished finish.
What’s the difference between screen printing and direct-to-fabric printing?
- Screen Printing is a traditional method where each color in your design is burned onto screens and applied to fabric. This is the most cost-effective option for bulk orders.
