Cotton and polycotton t-shirts and polos shirts are usually screen printed due to the excellent print quality and range of logos that can be replicated.

High tech polyester fabrics used for modern sportswear are best branded with digital prints or digitally cut vinyl as you get a super sharp result and the adherence is excellent.  Screen printing is also a good choice in some cases.

Business shirts are normally embroidered to give a rich luxurious look.

Knitwear is usually embroidered because prints will be damaged if the underlying fabric is stretched.

Usually most headwear is embroidered, headwear can also be branded using digital prints but because of seams on caps, embroidery usually looks the best.

If your logo has many colours and colour fading such as containing a photo type graphic, a branding method such as digital printing will give a photographic quality image.

If your logo is simple such as a line of text with a symbol, then screen printing or digitally cut vinyl may be a good choice.

Other very complicated logos such as crests look great when embroidered.

Some branding methods are better for large production runs and some are better for smaller amounts.  So if you need 10 shirts or 1000 shirts this will influence the best branding method for you.
