Embroidery vs Print

At Giraffe we have the technology to be able to do both but in many cases products look much better with one and not the other!

We have taken care to indicate which method is used.

Print is better used:

On the backs of garments where the size of the lettering is so big it would make embroidery pucker

On small items where an embroidery frame cannot be placed such as small purses

On umbrellas where the use of a needle to embroider would make an umbrella leak!

On printed wine boxes which are wood so therefore cannot be embroidered

On teddy paws where embroidery would be impossible

Embroidery is better used:

Where a personalisation would be more clearly defined using a stitch which sits on top of the fabric therefore giving a virtual 3D effect

Where a design requires a textured look

Where a logo has intricate pattern

On fabrics that cannot be printed


At Giraffe we have tried and tested many methods to deliver great personalised products to our customers…if what you are looking for is not on this website give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you.
