what do people think is best for work tops and can they suggest a company they use for work tops? i am not so keen on our current company that embroids our work tops so would like to hear of better alternatives.

Screen printing is better mate.

I use Carrera 2000.

You pay a set up fee for the screen about 15 quid and they supply and print the clothing.

Crew neck t-shirts we get are 6 quid each supply and print. Polo's 8 quid and hoodies 13 quid. Large print on back and small print on left breast.

I've always considered embroidered clothing tatty.

thanks for the suggestion. will wait see what others say and keep yours in mind.

funny you say embriodered clothes look tatty as i used to cnosider it the other way around.

IMO embroided looks MUCH better and much more professional plus the actual print lasts longer and washes better - the only down side is if you want the back done as well as the breast/sleeve then the price will be quite high as embroidery tends to get costly for large print areas. Also intricate logos and multiple colours are harder to embroider so it depends what you want them for really.

can you recommend a company to try cleaning team? my last would charge £4.50 for back (was fairly big but the tv shirt was badly streched), and £2.50 for front. plus then i had to buy my own tops.

I have enbroidery on the breast and thermal transfer on the back of t shirts and sweatshirts but have the backs embroidered on fleece jackets.

Having used screen printing for years I was asked to try embroidery

No contest embroidery by far looks so much better, stands out from the others and doesn't fade with time

Costs

Screen set up £30 screen print front badge rear logo £2 per shirt

Embroidery set up £40 front badge rear logo £2 per shirt but change colour free of charge

Embroided every time.

We actually use a supplier that we found via ebay.

Can't for the life of me think of there name but I'll dig it out tomorrow.

Can't fault the quality and value.

One other point, go for polo shirts. They don't need ironing, which will please everyone, and always look way better, especially on those that don't seem to own an iron  :

looking forward to it ian
