Reasons to choose Embroidery

Benefits of Choosing Printsome

Why? Prints can recreate smaller details and blend colours in a more intricate way than embroidery. So why bother? Embroidery is durable, has character and is more eye-catching in general. Of all the techniques used to personalise garments, it is the most durable one by far. Modern threads and machines can produce embellishments that can withstand years of wear and wash. There’s also an added texture which printing can never achieve. When we first think of embroidery, we often think of the left-breast logo on a polo shirt. Due to the huge popularity of brands such as Lacoste it is no wonder why. But embroidery is capable of so much more. Basically, any kind of garment and/or clothing item* can be embroidered and nowadays with new technologies such as 3D embroidery, the possibilities are endless. * Not recommended for thin materials or fabrics that stretch too much like lycra. The most typical kinds of clothing to be embroidered are: School uniforms, Work attire, Sportswear, Baseball caps, Polo shirts for any purpose

Embroidery is one of the most ancient methods for decorating clothes that exist today. The earliest examples that have been found date back to Cro-Magnon days or 30,000 BC. To put things in perspective, screen printing (the oldest printing technique) dates back to around 1000 AD — that’s a 31,000 years difference! How long embroidery has been around is only a testament of how reliable this method is. Of course, things have changed quite a bit since then. What used to be a manual work is now performed by machines. Large machines that are controlled by a computer and capable of embroidering several items at the same time. Nowadays, we also offer 3D embroidery. This special kind works with foam to create a design that elevates itself a few cm from its canvas. It looks different but not to a degree that it doesn’t read as embroidery anymore. Not many are using it yet so it is a great way to stand out.
