Limitations of Custom Embroidery
Embroidery serves as an excellent method for imprinting your product, but its inherent characteristics may render certain designs unfeasible, prompting consideration of alternative printing methods.
Gradient Embroidery
Achieving gradients through embroidery poses significant challenges. The intricate nature of gradients, requiring multiple colors for the desired effect, necessitates frequent thread changes, making it impractical. For seamless gradient designs, sublimation or DFT printing methods are more suitable, although embroidery can accommodate gradients with abrupt color changes.
Color Limitation
Embroidery imposes a strict limit of 12 colors for designs.
Intricate Details
Small details in custom embroidery designs or text may not be discernible depending on their intricacy. If enlarging intricate details is not feasible, screen printing may offer better visibility.
Cost of Large Designs
The cost of custom embroidered logos escalates with size due to the increased time required for embroidery. Consequently, printing large designs can become prohibitively expensive. For cost-effective options without compromising on size, screen printing is recommended.
Impact on Waterproof Garments
Embroidery can compromise the waterproof properties of jackets. For high-quality jackets, opting for DFT or screen printing preserves the fabric's integrity while applying your logo.
Embroidery Care Instructions
Embroidered logos are designed for longevity, but here are some additional tips to extend their lifespan:
Washing Instructions:
Turn the garment inside out before washing and avoid washing it with items containing zippers or sharp objects. Sharp objects can snag on the thread, potentially damaging the logo.
Drying Recommendations:
Whenever feasible, air dry the garment to prevent shrinkage. Shrinkage around the embroidered area can lead to wrinkling.
Ironing:
Avoid ironing directly over the embroidered logo. Instead, turn the garment inside out and refrain from using any steam features during ironing.
