School clothing with embroidery and print – professional solutions for schools and universities

A school is not only a place of learning – it is also a space for building community, identity and pride in belonging.

One of the things that helps underline the character of an institution is personalised school clothing.

At RAVEN we offer high-quality school sweatshirts, T-shirts and polo shirts for schools with a print or embroidery, which work perfectly both in everyday use and at sports events or ceremonies.

Comfortable and durable school sweatshirts are one of the most popular garments for pupils and students.

Thanks to printing or embroidery on the front or back, you can add the school name, logo or even the institution's motto.

It is an ideal solution for secondary schools and universities alike that want to underline their identity and maintain a consistent image.

Polo shirts are a classic choice that works in everyday use, in lessons and at official events.

We offer short-sleeve polo shirts and long-sleeve polo shirts, which can be decorated with either a print or embroidery. It is the perfect compromise between comfort and elegance.

The right branding method for school clothing depends on the effect you want and on how the clothing will be used.

Embroidery and screen printing are the two most frequently chosen techniques, and each has its strengths.

• If your priority is elegance, prestige and durability, embroidery is the way to go. It works excellently for polo shirts and formal sweatshirts as well as clothing for teachers and staff.

• If, on the other hand, you want a dynamic, colourful print that stands out on sportswear or team shirts, screen printing is the best solution.

Embroidery is a technique that has enjoyed unwavering popularity among schools and universities for years. It works perfectly wherever durability and an elegant look matter.

Advantages of embroidery:

• Durability – embroidery does not wash out or fade even after many washes.

• A prestigious look – it gives clothing an elegant character, ideal for school polo shirts or formal sweatshirts.

• A 3D effect – embroidery has a texture you can feel, which underlines the quality of the garment.

• Resistance – it copes excellently with intensive use and withstands the weather.

• Versatility – it works on polo shirts, sweatshirts, caps and bags.

Embroidery is particularly recommended for clothing worn every day by pupils and teachers, and for formal occasions where a professional look matters.

If your priority is a large print area or bold artwork, go for direct screen printing.

It is one of the oldest yet still most reliable methods of branding clothing, especially for larger orders.

Advantages of screen printing:

• Bold colours – prints are intense and clearly visible even from a distance.

• Ideal for large designs – it works excellently for large artwork on sweatshirts and T-shirts.

• Cost-effectiveness – for larger orders it is the most economical branding method.

• Print durability – thanks to special inks the print resists washing and sunlight.

• Design flexibility – it handles both simple lettering and full-colour artwork.

Screen printing is an excellent solution for, among others, clothing for school sports teams, where colour intensity and visibility of the markings matter.

• For nurseries and younger classes – we recommend embroidery for smaller logos, because it withstands washing and is very durable.

• For secondary schools and universities – it is worth combining both techniques: for example embroidered polo shirts plus screen-printed sports sweatshirts.

• For school sports teams – definitely screen printing, which makes the artwork intense and visible from the stands.

Combining both methods is also a good solution: embroidery on the chest (the school logo) and screen printing on the back (large lettering, team name, number). The clothing then gains both an elegant character and a modern look.
