Benefits of Embroidery

  • Long-lasting & highly durable

    Embroidery is stitched directly into the fabric using premium threads, making it extremely durable — even after countless washes and heavy wear. It’s the go-to choice for long-term use, especially in active work environments.

  • Ideal for small logos and detailing

    Embroidery is perfect for adding small logos, names, or detailed elements to garments. It holds fine lines well and gives a clean, sharp finish — ideal for left chest branding, caps, or sleeve placement where subtlety meets impact.

  • Professional and premium finish

    Embroidery adds depth and texture that instantly elevates the look of any garment. It gives your brand a polished and high-end appearance, perfect for businesses that care about image and presentation.

  • Suitable for polos, caps, jackets, aprons, bags & more

    From corporate polos and hospitality aprons to branded caps and tote bags, embroidery is a versatile solution that works across a wide range of garments and materials.

  • Perfect for workwear, uniforms, and brand merchandise

    Whether you're outfitting your staff or creating merch for your brand, embroidery ensures a clean, sharp result that represents your business with quality and confidence.

  • Colour-fast and wash-resistant

    Our embroidery threads are designed to resist fading and hold their colour — even after multiple washes. That means your logo stays vibrant and professional for longer

1

What’s the minimum order quantity for embroidery?

Our minimum order for embroidery is 20 garments. This helps keep production efficient and cost-effective for everyone.

2

What file types do you need for embroidery?

We prefer vector files such as .AI, .EPS, or .PDF for the best accuracy. If you don’t have one, a high-resolution PNG (300 DPI) with a transparent background is also acceptable. Our graphic team can assist with file conversion if needed.

3

Can I bring my own garments for embroidery?

Yes — you're welcome to supply your own garments. A handling fee of $2.00 per garment applies for orders under 50 units, and $1.00 per garment for orders over 50 units. This covers the time needed for inspection, preparation, and quality control of non-supplied stock.

4

Can embroidery be done on any fabric?

Embroidery works best on medium to heavy fabrics like cotton, polyester, and fleece. Lighter or stretch fabrics can sometimes distort, so we’ll help you choose the right garment during consultation.

5

How long does embroidery take?

Our standard turnaround is 2–3 weeks from the date of artwork approval and deposit. For urgent orders, let us know — rush options may be available depending on our schedule.

6

Can you match specific thread colours?

Yes, we have a wide range of thread colours available. If you have a Pantone (PMS) code or colour reference, we’ll match it as closely as possible.

7

Do I get to approve the design before it’s stitched?

Yes, you’ll receive a spec sheet showing your embroidery’s size, thread colours, and placement. Production only starts once you give the green light.

8

Do you offer reorders with saved files?

Absolutely. Once your embroidery file is set up, we save it on our system. Any future orders using the same design won’t require a new setup fee, saving you time and money.
