How to Pick the Right Customization for Your Bag

You’ve decided you want a custom bag. Congratulations! But now comes the hard part: choosing how to customize your bag. Do you want screen printing or embroidery? It’s a tough decision, but don’t worry—we’re here to help.

Here are the pros and cons of each option to help you make the best decision for your custom bag.

Print Technique for the duffel bag:

Embroidery Pros:

-Embroidery creates a sophisticated, high-end look.
-It’s very durable—your design won’t fade or crack over time.
-It’s possible to achieve very intricate designs with embroidery.
-The stitches raise the fabric slightly, which can give your bag a unique texture and dimensionality.

Embroidery Cons:

-Embroidery is typically more expensive than screen printing.
-It’s not possible to embroider on all materials—leather, for example, cannot be embroidered.
-The stitches can make the fabric feel stiffer than screen printed designs.

Print Technique for the cinch bags:

Screen Printing Pros:

-Screen printing is typically less expensive than embroidery.
-You can print on a variety of materials, including leather and canvas.
-The ink is absorbed into the fabric, which means it won’t crack or fade over time.
-Screen printing is ideal for large, graphic designs.
-It’s a relatively quick process, so you’ll get your bag faster.

Screen Printing Cons:

-The ink can feel stiff and heavy on the fabric.
-It can be difficult to achieve intricate details with screen printing.
-The design is not as durable as embroidery, so it may fade or crack over time if not properly cared for.

Now that you know the pros and cons of both screen printing and embroidery, you’re ready to make a decision about how to customize your bag!

If you’re looking for a quick, affordable option, go with screen printing. If you want a sophisticated, high-end look that will last for years to come, go with embroidery.
