Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between screenprinting and embroidery for apparel?

    Screenprinting creates bold, colorful prints ideal for t-shirts, hoodies, and large designs, while embroidery uses durable stitching best suited for polos, hats, and uniforms. Screenprinting works well for bulk event orders, whereas embroidery offers a polished, professional look for workwear. At Wabash Engraving Inc, we help customers choose the method that matches their garment type and branding goals.
  • How long does custom screenprinting last on t-shirts?

    Custom screenprinting produces bold, long-lasting prints designed to withstand frequent wear and repeated washing. The durability depends on ink quality, garment material, and care instructions. At Wabash Engraving Inc, we use proven methods to ensure prints stay vibrant through regular use, making them ideal for sports teams, fundraisers, and local businesses in Wabash.
  • Can you screenprint on hoodies and sweatshirts?

    Yes, custom screenprinting works well on hoodies, sweatshirts, quarter zips, and other heavier garments. The process creates durable, eye-catching designs suitable for school events, team apparel, and promotional use. At Wabash Engraving Inc, we help customers select garment styles and ink colors that align with their brand and event needs.
  • What materials can be custom engraved?

    Custom engraving can be applied to metal, glass, wood, brass, acrylic, and plaques. These materials are commonly used for awards, trophies, office signage, desk plates, and personalized gifts. At Wabash Engraving Inc, we perform in-house engraving to ensure consistent quality and clean, permanent markings designed to last.
  • How does embroidery hold up on workwear?

    Embroidery uses durable stitching methods designed for daily wear and repeated washing, making it ideal for uniforms, polos, and jackets. The thread resists fading and fraying better than printed graphics.

    Customers can upload or send in their artwork or logo, and Wabash Engraving Inc helps with editing and cleaning up designs to ensure print quality.

At Wabash Engraving Inc, we help employers choose the right customization method based on garment type, use environment, and branding needs.
