What is “Embroidery”

Embroidery is an excellent way of branding bags, apparel, and other textile products. It offers higher perceived value and a depth of branding quality which other processes cannot match. Embroidery uses rayon thread which is stitched into the product and has a slightly raised effect.

Our embroidery service creates dimensional, eye catching artwork that becomes a permanent part of your apparel.

Advantages of Embroidery

  • Only one setup charge applies per position (for up to 12 thread colours).

Limitations of Embroidery

  • Only approximate PMS colour matches are possible - the threads to be used are chosen from those available to give the closest possible match. See the thread colour chart for the colours available.
  • Embroidery is unable to print variable data (such as individual naming).
  • Metallic embroidery colours have special pricing.

Embroidery Artwork Requirements

We will set up the artwork for you and supply an electronic draft to help you visualise what the end result will look like. There are some restrictions we have to take into consideration when setting up your file:

  • Vector artwork is preferred.
  • We recommend avoiding fine detail - the minimum text heights for embroidered artworks are:
    • 4.5mm for Sans Serif fonts
    • 5.5mm for Serif fonts

Examples of products we can embroider

Below are some of the products that we can embroider for you. The featured image may not be of an embroidered product (that's because many of our items can be branded in different ways).
