Embroidery on Promotional Items

Embroidery is one of the oldest method you can use to brand your logo to any fabric promotional product. This branding method will work best with apparels, headwear and bags.  

What is Embroidery? 

The most basic unit of embroidery is stitches. From long long time ago, people has start using different colour stitches together with different stitching techniques to create very unique art piece. In modern time,  we have moved to machine embroidery for large quantity production for more efficient production process. Most of our embroidered promotional products are using machine embroidery for decoration.

Advantages of Embroidery

The major advantage of embroidery is there is no colour limitation on embroidery. You can embroider any colour you like on the promotional product.

Embroidery has relatively quick turnaround time as well. Unlike traditional printing which needs to allow extra time for the ink to dry, we don't need to allow extra time for embroidery. As soon as the embroidery is done on the promotional item, we can then pack it straight away and deliver to the client.

There is no additional setup cost needed to be added on top of the total cost. Pad printing and screen printing will always associate with a setup cost which is the cost of setting up a printing plate to print the logo. For embroidery, there is no printing plate needed to be setup, we can then waive goodby to the set up cost.  

Disadvantages of Embroidery

Unlike printing which is priced base on per colour printed, embroidery is priced based on the number of stitches it takes. The more stitches it needs, the more the cost will be. So if you want to print your logo really big at the front of the tshirt, embroidery will be a very expensive process to go by.
