Custom work clothes T-shirts, printing or embroidery labels, which costs less?

Many corporate administrators or purchasers will be torn when customizing work clothes T-shirts. Which is more cost-effective to choose between printing and embroidery? Today we will help you calculate this account from a cost perspective.

Let's talk about the conclusion first: the larger the batch, the simpler the pattern, and the lower the printing cost; the smaller the quantity, the more colors, and the stronger the three-dimensional sense, the more suitable the embroidery label. See the specific differences below?

1. Printing cost analysis

Printing mainly includes screen printing, thermal transfer printing and digital direct injection. The unit price of screen printing is low, but it requires an opening fee. Generally, more than 100 pieces can dilute the cost. Thermal transfer printing is suitable for small batches, but the washing resistance is slightly worse. Digital direct injection does not need to be opened. It is done from one piece, but the unit price is high. Generally speaking, printing is suitable for work clothes T-shirts with few patterns and colors and large quantities.

2. Cost analysis of embroidery label

The embroidery label is billed according to the number of needles, usually starting with 5,000 needles, and a small logo on the left chest is about 3,000-5,000 needles. There is no opening fee for the embroidery label, but each piece must be embroidered on the machine, and the unit price has an advantage when the quantity is small. If the logo has many colors and gradual changes, the reduction degree of the embroidery label is not as good as printing. When the quantity is less than 50 pieces and the logo is simple, the total cost of the embroidery label may be lower.

3. Comprehensive recommendations

Simple sentence: choose printing in large quantities, and choose embroidery labels in small batches. But it actually depends on the fabric, location and construction period. For example, pure cotton T-shirt printing is easy to fade, and embroidery labels are more durable; while polyester fabrics have good printing effect and embroidery labels are easy to wrinkle.
