Your Go-To Guide for Creating High-Quality Custom Apparel with Vivaltees

🧵 Embroidery vs. DTG Printing: What’s the Difference?

Embroidery involves stitching thread into the fabric, creating a textured and durable design. Ideal for logos and simple graphics.

DTG (Direct-to-Garment) uses inkjet technology to print high-resolution, full-color designs directly onto fabric—perfect for detailed and colorful artworks.
