Embroidery
Embroidery uses thread stitched directly into the fabric to create your logo or design. It's the gold standard for corporate wear, polos, hats, and outerwear — adding a premium, textured finish that screen printing and DTF can't replicate.
What It Is
A decoration method where your design is digitized (converted to a stitch file) and then stitched directly into the garment using industrial embroidery machines. The result is a raised, textured, professional finish.
Who It's For
- Businesses needing corporate uniforms and polos
- Organizations wanting a premium, professional look
- Hat and cap customization
- Outerwear and jacket branding
Advantages
- Premium, professional appearance
- Extremely durable — outlasts the garment itself
- Looks great on hats, polos, jackets, and bags
- Adds perceived value to any garment
- No fading or cracking over time
Considerations
- 12-piece minimum order
- Not suitable for highly detailed or photographic designs
- Higher per-unit cost than printing methods
- Stitch count affects pricing (larger/more detailed = more stitches)
Artwork Requirements
- Vector files required for digitizing (AI, EPS, PDF)
- Simple, clean logos work best
- Avoid very thin lines or tiny text (minimum 0.25" letter height)
- Digitizing fee may apply for new designs
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a 12-piece minimum?
Embroidery requires digitizing your design into a stitch file, which involves setup time. The 12-piece minimum helps offset this setup cost.
Can you embroider on hats?
Absolutely! Hats are one of our most popular embroidery items. We can embroider on structured and unstructured caps, beanies, and visors.
What's the maximum embroidery size?
Standard embroidery areas are up to about 12" x 12" for chest/back placements. Hat fronts are typically up to 2.5" tall.
