Embroidery vs DTF?

Stitch or print — pick the look you sell

Embroidery is a raised logo. Textile DTF is a flat full-colour print.

AM.CO.ZA sells both paths — we will not mash them into one confused quote.

Feel the difference

Stitch — thread you can touch. Caps, chests, workwear badges.

Print — photographs, gradients, fashion artwork on tees.

Embro head — raised stitch in green hoop

Embro stitch — raised thread in the hoop.

Textile DTF — flat print on a tee.

How we package each path

Stitch: Embro combo — machine, training, first-loop threads and backing.

Print: Textile DTF combo plus a flat heat press. Not a mug press.

One look first

Tell us three jobs you already have.

We sell one look this letter — not a twin starter “just in case.”

What we will not do

Sell embroidery thread for a photograph tee.

Open with both machines because a brochure showed both.

Johannesburg

See stitch and print on the floor. Ask with your hands.

P.S. Hard goods / crystal stickers are UV-DTF — say so if that is the counter.

Reply with three jobs you already have (or wish you could take) and your city — we name one path.

When to send this

Scenario: Buyer conflates stitch and print, or asks “embroidery or DTF?” Split by the look they sell.

Your job: One look per email. Embro for stitch; Textile DTF + flat press for print. Do not mash. Prefer combo on the chosen path. Never EmbroidMaster.

Ask what they sell, not which brochure they liked.
Do not three-way compare UV here unless they name hard goods.
No fake qty.
