If you want apparel with a design prominently displayed on it,Advantages of Embroidery for Apparel Articles then two of your main options will be embroidery and screen printing.  There are various advantages associated with choosing to go with embroidery.  Keep reading to learn about some of these advantages.

One of the main advantages of using embroidery for apparel is the design will last a very long time.  With clothing that has been screen printed on, you will need to be careful when washing it.  The inks may fade over time if you are not careful.

That is why it is best for you to avoid using hot or warm water when washing screen printed apparel, and it is best not to wash it too often.  None of these will be a problem with embroidered designs as they will last for years and years with no problem.

The price of embroidered apparel will basically depend on the number of stitches necessary to create the design.  Companies usually charge a certain price based on a thousand stitches.  Although the cost for embroidered apparel is slightly higher than screen printed apparel you can save money by ordering your items in bulk.

Most companies do not embroider items by hand nowadays.  Instead, they make use of embroidery machines which will get the job done much more quickly.  You will only have to pay an initial setup fee as long as the design does not change over the course of the project.  Although embroidery costs a little more you must factor in the fact it lasts longer as mentioned earlier.  Therefore, the investment you make in your apparel will be better.

The look offered by embroidery and screen printing are somewhat different.  Most people love the look of embroidered clothing because it looks so professional.  If you are ordering clothes for your company's employees to wear, then this is likely your best option.

Embroidery can recreate your company's logo or marketing message on your apparel just like screen printing can.  Just know it may be a little difficult to recreate more detailed designs.  You may be required to alter it a little, but this should not be much of a problem.

These are some of the various advantages of embroidery for apparel.  Your clothing will last for a longer period of time, and you do not need to worry about washing causing damage to it.  This increased durability helps make up for the slightly increased upfront cost of embroidered apparel.
