Hoodie Printing vs. Embroidery: Which to Choose

Two ways to put a logo on a hoodie

Printing and embroidery both last for the life of a well-made hoodie, but they look and feel very different. The right choice depends on the size of the design and the impression you want to make.

When printing wins

Screen printing is the choice for big designs: a full front graphic, a large back print or artwork with lots of detail and color. It sits soft on the fabric and suits team gear, events and merch.

When embroidery wins

Embroidery stitches the logo in thread, giving it texture and a premium feel. It is ideal for a left-chest logo on corporate hoodies and gifts, and it looks the same after years of washing.

Combine them

You do not have to choose just one. A common combination is an embroidered logo on the chest and a large printed design on the back.
