Embroidery and screen printing are the two most popular ways to brand a hoodie. Each has clear strengths, and the right choice depends on your design, quantity and budget.

When Embroidery Works Best

Embroidery stitches your logo into the fabric for a raised, premium finish that lasts for years. It is ideal for chest logos, crests and small text.

  • Premium, long-lasting finish
  • Best for logos up to around 10cm wide
  • Looks great on heavyweight fleece

When Screen Print Works Best

Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh for bold, bright colours. It is cost-effective for larger runs and big back designs.

  • Bold colours and large designs
  • Great value from 25+ hoodies
  • Soft feel with modern inks

Can You Combine Both?

Yes. Many brands choose an embroidered chest logo with a printed back design for a high-end look.
