Embroidery vs Printing: Which Is Best for Workwear?

Embroidery is usually best for small, premium logos on polos, fleeces, jackets and caps. Printing is usually better for larger graphics, back prints, full-colour artwork and event clothing.

Many business uniform orders use both: embroidery for the smart chest logo and print for larger visibility on the back or hi-vis garments.
