The definition and process of embroidery and screen printing are very different. However, you can use both to print a logo. The following are the differences between embroidery and screen printing that you should know:

1. The Price
One thing you need to think about is the price of embroidery vs screen printing. However, you should understand that the more complex your design is, the more expensive it may be, regardless of the printing method you want to use.
For example, the price becomes more expensive if you want more colors in the screen printing design. However, this is not always the case with embroidered logos, but if you want to get a larger design, embroidery costs a lot more.
This is because embroidery of larger designs requires more time and resources. So, if you want one big design, the cheapest option is screen printing. However, many factors determine the price between the two methods.
2. The Longevity
For both embroidery and screen printing, you need to care for and wash them carefully so that they are durable. However, in general, embroidery will probably last a little longer than screen printing.
This is because embroidery stitches are embedded in the garment whereas screen printing is only placed on the top of the garment. Moreover, if the quality of the screen printing is poor, it will not last long. Eventually, the design will crack and over time it will fade.
Furthermore, if you frequently wash it using the washing machine at the wrong temperature. Or if you iron it the wrong way, then the screen printing can be ruined in an instant.
