This is kind of like comparing apples and oranges — they both have their place.
Screen printing:
- Method of choice for most tee shirts, and plenty of other apparel styles
- The pricing for screen printing is determined by the number of colors, not logo size
- It is generally lower cost than embroidery, so you get more for your budget
- High-quality vector artwork is required to reproduce the logo
- The printed logo should last years, but not forever, as it may begin to crack after a long period of usage
Embroidery:
- Recommended for high-end apparel, such as golf polo shirts, or uneven material, such as fleece jackets
- The pricing is determined by the number of stitches, so the larger the more expensive, but can contain any colors
- If the embroidery is small, you can get by with lower-quality artwork, such as a JPG
- The end result is a longer-lasting, more durable product, since the logo is sewn into the item.
