The number of options on the market today can be overwhelming for some, and that is why at EMBROIDERY GULF we have taken the trouble to present you with the best options for you, your brand and your company, depending on the type and number of garments.

Embroidery and Screen Printing Services
From 3D embossed color drawings to traditional T-shirt logo embroidery, their high quality, durability and elegance characterize them wherever they go. Custom embroidery is ideal for corporate uniforms, restaurants, and personal brands, as it looks great on shirts, polo shirts, aprons, jackets, and caps. We do not recommend embroidering on t-shirts as they are more prone to wrinkling from embroidery due to less body or weight.

SERIGRAPHY
Embroidery and Screen Printing Services is a personalization technique widely used around the world due to its versatility and high-quality finish. It is an ancient technique that offers the best solution when it comes to customizing t-shirts and other garments on a large scale, since its cost is very low. .
Screen printing consists of passing ink through a technical fabric formed by a mesh mounted on an aluminum or wooden frame called "Screen Printing Screen", previously treating it with an emulsion or varnish in order to cover the areas where it is not desired. to print. In other words, this makes it possible to make certain parts of the material waterproof. It is recommended to use the minimum amount of colors because each color must go on a different screen and this can modify production times.
Screen printing in general, especially on t-shirts, has few limitations. Screen printing can be done on most textiles and clothing as long as they do not have a water-repellent or waterproof treatment, since in this case the ink would bounce off the fabric and fall off when washed.
STAMPING
Also known as Vinyl (FLEX) or Vinyl, this may be the best option if you're looking for a strong, vibrant color finish. Being a plain colored thermo-adhesive plastic sheet, this allows it to adhere without problems to almost any surface, so unlike other textile personalization techniques (such as Screen Printing mentioned above) Vinyl is not limited by waterproof materials.
There are two main types of Textile Vinyl, Printing Textile Vinyl and Cutting Textile Vinyl, the latter being the most common due to its simplicity and speed at the time of production. They are ideal for orders of small quantities and it is the most used material to personalize technical sports clothing, such as the number on the back of soccer jerseys.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital Printing, also known as "DTG", "Direct-To-Garment" or "Direct-to-Garment Printing", is perhaps the most revolutionary textile customization technique of all, since, like a common office printer, it is responsible for injecting the ink directly onto the material with the push of a button. This gives it impressive superiority over other techniques because digital printing requires comparatively fewer steps to set up.
Digital Printing is not limited by colors and combinations, which allows you to make the most complex designs with minimal effort, recreating details with sublime quality and solid colors, which must be previously associated with a Pantone Solid Coated reference. At Embroidery Company in Dubai we are proud to say that we not only offer Organic Clothing, but we also use ecological CMYK ink cartridges during all our productions.
It is true that it is not characterized by being the cheapest option on the market, which is why it has always been used for small orders. However, once its undoubted quality and durability have been proven, many of our customers decide that it is the only option for them.
As far as garments are concerned, they must contain at least 50% cotton and must be thoroughly tested before being offered to the public to prevent ink from falling out after several washes. We recommend washing your garments inside out and in cold water to preserve the vibrancy of the print for longer.
