Embroidered hoodies, polo shirts and caps, stitched to order with no minimum. How embroidery differs from print, and when to pick it.
Embroidery stitches your logo into the fabric with thread rather than laying ink on top of it. That is why it outlasts the garment on most workwear, and why an embroidered chest logo reads as considered where the same logo printed can read as temporary. We embroider to order with no minimum, so one hoodie is a real order.
What we embroider
Around three hundred products in the catalogue carry an embroidery area, across hoodies, sweatshirts, polo shirts, T-shirts, caps, beanies and bags. Each one has its stitch areas already set up with a real size and position, so you are not guessing whether a logo will fit a cap front or a left chest.
When to choose embroidery over print
- Pick embroidery for logos, monograms, small lettering and anything going on a cap, a chest or a sleeve, and for garments that will be washed hard for years.
- Pick print for photographs, gradients, fine detail, many colours, and for large designs across a back or a full front.
- Use both on one garment when the job calls for it, for example a stitched chest logo with a printed back panel.
Artwork that stitches well
Thread cannot hold the detail that ink can. Hairline strokes, text below about 5mm tall, tight gradients and drop shadows all tend to close up or distort once stitched. Simple shapes and solid colour blocks are what embroidery is good at, and a logo that has been simplified for stitch usually looks better than the original file forced through unchanged. If you are not sure whether yours will translate, send it over before you order a run.
Order one first
Stitched artwork is harder to picture than printed artwork, so order a single sample before committing to a team or a product line. It is the price of one garment and it settles the question.
