WHY EMBROIDERY?

Why choose embroidery?

Embroidery gives branded apparel a dimensional, professional finish that works especially well across corporate, team and workwear applications.

01

Premium Finish

Thread creates a dimensional finish that gives branded apparel a more elevated appearance.

02

Professional

A natural fit for corporate apparel, uniforms, polos and staff clothing.

03

Built to Last

The design is stitched directly into the garment rather than applied as a surface print.

04

Headwear Friendly

Excellent for compatible caps, toques and other headwear designed to support embroidery.

05

Thread Colour Options

Thread colours can be selected to complement your logo, apparel and overall brand presentation.

06

Versatile Placement

Chest, hat, sleeve and other locations can be embroidered when garment construction allows it.

ARTWORK & DIGITIZING

Your logo has to work in thread.

Before embroidery begins, artwork is converted into an embroidery file that tells the machine how the design should be stitched. This process is called digitizing.

01

Small Text

Tiny lettering may need to be enlarged or adjusted so it remains clear and readable when stitched.

02

Fine Detail

Extremely thin lines and tiny shapes may not reproduce in thread exactly as they appear on a screen.

03

Thread Colour

Embroidery uses physical thread colours rather than printed ink, so we choose suitable thread colours for the design.

04

Size & Placement

Embroidery size affects stitch count, detail, weight and how the finished design sits on the garment.

FAQ

Embroidery questions, answered.

01 What is custom embroidery? +

Custom embroidery uses thread to recreate logos, names and designs directly on compatible apparel, headwear and other textile products.

02 What garments can be embroidered? +

Many polos, jackets, hoodies, uniforms, workwear pieces and headwear styles can be embroidered. The exact fabric, construction and placement still need to be reviewed.

03 Can you embroider hats? +

Yes. Many structured caps, toques and other compatible headwear styles are excellent candidates for embroidery.

04 Can you embroider small text? +

Small text can sometimes be embroidered, but very tiny lettering may need to be enlarged, thickened or simplified so it remains readable in thread.

05 What is embroidery digitizing? +

Digitizing converts artwork into a production file that tells the embroidery machine how to stitch the design, including stitch direction, density and sequencing.

06 How many thread colours can I use? +

The practical number of thread colours depends on the artwork and production setup. We review the design and recommend a colour approach that makes sense for the finished piece.

07 Can you match my brand colours? +

We can choose thread colours that closely suit your branding. Because embroidery uses physical thread rather than printed ink, exact colour reproduction can differ from digital or printed colour systems.

08 How large can an embroidered logo be? +

The ideal size depends on the garment, placement, artwork and stitch count. Very large embroidery can become heavy or stiff, so another decoration method may sometimes be more appropriate.

09 Is embroidery durable? +

Embroidery is designed for apparel use and can be a very durable decoration method when the garment, digitizing and production setup are appropriate.

10 Can I supply my own garments? +

Contact us before supplying garments so we can confirm the fabric, construction and intended placement are suitable for embroidery.

11 Is there a minimum order? +

Minimums and pricing can depend on the garment, design and production requirements. Send us your quantity and we'll recommend the best setup.

12 Can you embroider individual names? +

Personalization such as individual names may be possible depending on the garment and project. Include the personalization details when requesting your quote.
