Thread or ink? Start with the job, not the label.

Alta accepts embroidery and screen printing inquiries. The right choice depends on what the artwork, item, quantity, placement, and deadline ask the method to do.

Method rule

If the method is undecided, request the result you want and let the project details stay visible.

Thread

Embroidery

A stitched finish that adds dimension and structure to logos, names, and lettering.

Where it often fits

A dimensional stitched mark can suit artwork, placement, and items whose construction supports embroidery.

What needs review

Artwork detail, stitch size, placement, thread colors, item construction, and quantity all affect the result.

Ink

Screen printing

Ink-based decoration suited to clear, repeatable graphics across an apparel order.

Where it often fits

A flat ink graphic can suit artwork, garment color, placement, and an order that needs a consistent print.

What needs review

Artwork colors, garment color, print locations, item count, sizing, and deadline shape the production plan.

Quick comparison

Use the finish as a clue, not a shortcut.

These are general production tendencies. Your artwork and item still need individual review.
