That depends on what garments you are using and what the designs are. Sometimes embroidery is better, (polos, fleece, hats, etc.) and sometimes screenprinting is better (t-sirts, large designs)

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up...!
I think there are more people offering just Screenprinting than Embroidery so doing both would be an advantage... unless it's cheaper just to outsource it... ah, forget it, i don't really know!
It can depend on the application. Embroidery generally has a higher preceived value. Screen printed hats and polos can look cheap. Screen printing is great for full front/back designs on T's and sweats with fine detail and small text.
from my point of view i would add this. if you want to do alot of shirts in masses cheaply screen them. if you perhaps want to do a bit more technical and elegant and classy i would suggest embroidery.
The OP was asking about "logos", tho, whether to start with emb or screen printing, and that brings up a Q for me, I kind of wonder if you emb a logo onto a tee, and the other way around, is it possible to screen print on a polo, I guess if it's not a pique weave?? I am also curious what the difference in cost is for the same logo in each process. Thanks so much...
You can embroider a logo on a t-shirt and screen print on pique, but it's not done as much as the other way around because the other way around is the more optimal application.
It's a bit hard to compare apples to apples because of the different pricing processes, but from what I've seen, the same image would usually be more expensive to embroider than it is to screen print it.
I was talking about Logo's on t's and golf shirts. I have a full back embroidered jacket , I wear and people always ask me to make one for them. I have a Flag that is actually the preamble to the Constitution. I think embroidery is really more costly than screen print. ..... JB
Consider who you market to. Are they more likely to wear embroidery or screen printing in the setting where they would be wearing the garments you provide?
I guess that screen printing has some amount of setup longer than embroidery but you can push more units through with an auto press. Embroidery can get you more $ per unit because you are normally doing higher end products so the starting point is more.
What you really need to do is find out where your market is and sell what they want. We sell 10x more embroidery than printed garments. But then again, our market is clubs and businesses that want a really nice shirt or hat and nothing says quality like embroidery. Our printed shirt orders come from those that want to give away the product as a promo or want to have them for a one time use like a b-day party.
