Decorating Methods Several factors come into play when deciding whether to screen print or embroider a garment. First among these is what you’re trying to accomplish. The construction company doesn’t need the expense of putting their workers in embroidered T-shirts, although the sales and office personnel could certainly utilize either polo or tailored, woven shirts embroidered with the company logo. Garments with extremely rough surfaces, including some piques and all polar fleece, won’t clearly render a screen print design and should definitely be embroidered. While relatively inexpensive team jackets are often printed, the vast majority of outerwear is more often decorated with an embroidered design. Screen Printing
A mesh screen is chemically coated, exposed under high-intensity lights, treated to reveal the desired image, dried and put on either a manual or automatic press. One screen is required for each color in each position—i.e., red and black ink on the front and back of a shirt would require four screens. Your account executive, working with our in-house art department, can show you how to get multiple shades of a color out of just one screen. The appropriate color ink is then forced through the exposed portion of the screen onto the garment, followed by any additional colors called for in the design. Garments are then removed from the press and run through a curing dryer to set the ink and make the design permanent. If a second position needs to be printed, the garments are returned to the press and the additional design is applied. Because of the additional handling required, multiple positions are more costly than additional colors in the same position. When budget is a major consideration, limit the positions decorated. One other consideration worth noting: some garments—notably T-shirts, sweats and lower priced golf shirts—are priced from the mills according to color range: white, heathers and colors. In addition, dark colored shirts may require an additional underbase color, which acts much like priming a wall to assure the desired ink color will not be affected by the garment color. Once again, your account executive will guide you through the process. Return To Top Embroidery
The embroidery process begins with digitizing, the act of “translating” a graphic design into stitches. There are three basic types of embroidery stitches. Satin or column stitches are the most commonly used. There is a limit both to the minimum and maximum width of these types of stitches. Extremely thin lines or letters can’t utilize the side-to-side sewing movement required of these stitches. Overly wide lines or blocks of color also limit the use of satin stitches because the thread begins to “hang down” like a roman shade. Wider lines and blocks of color utilize a fill stitch, a pattern of smaller stitches which cover the desired area. This gives you the quality you want but does tend to increase the stitch count required by the design. Finally, extremely thin lines are sewn using a running stitch, much like the ones used to baste a hem. These are not quality stitches and really should only be used to define one area from another. Embroidery sewing charges are based on the number of stitches in a design since stitches equal machine time. The number of colors in an embroidery designs are not a cost factor.
