Embroidery vs Screen Printing for Australian Uniforms in 2025

27 November, 2025 by Afreen Tanjina

Choosing between embroidery and screen printing depends on the garment, artwork and intended use. Both methods are popular across Melbourne and each offers unique benefits.

Embroidery is best suited for polos, jackets, caps and corporate shirts. It provides a premium stitched look that lasts for years. Embroidery is especially strong for small logos, which is why many Australian hospitality and corporate teams prefer it.

Screen printing works best for large designs or event shirts. It is ideal for cotton tees and large front or back prints. Many Australian sports clubs, schools and promotional events use screen printing for bold and colourful designs.

Industry feedback shows that more than half of Australian businesses maintain a mix of both methods depending on their uniform program. Fully Promoted Footscray helps businesses choose the right method by considering fabric type, wash frequency, budget and brand style.
