Embroidery is an ancient method for decorating fabric using a needle and thread. Using modern-day machines that can handle large, bulk orders we utilise embroidery to apply logos to promotional products as diverse as apparel, headwear, and high-end bags.

What is Promotional Embroidery?

Promotional embroidery is a stitching technique used to add your name, logo, or artwork directly to the fabric material. Embroidery has been around since at least the 5th century BC in China, with a variety of ancient European societies relying on embroidery for clothing and craft decorations as well. While many people still embroider designs onto fabric as a relaxing craft, our promotional embroidery is designed to stylishly and efficiently stitch your logo or name decoration onto large quantities of polo shirts, caps, laptop bags, business jackets, and more.

What are the Advantages of Embroidery?

• The major advantage of embroidery is that unlike screen printing, there is no limit on the number of colours you can have in your design. Not only can we embroider any mix of colours you require, but we also don't charge based on the number of colours used. Instead, embroidery costs are based on the complexity of your design (the number of stitches used to complete your logo).
  
  
• Embroidery is also a faster technique to complete than pad or screen printing because stitching does not require time to dry. Once the machine has embroidered your design onto your products, they are packed straight away and sent out for delivery.
  
  
• Additionally, for orders over 100 units, there are no setup costs for most standard designs. This is not applicable to pad printing or screen printing, sadly, as these will always require a setup cost regardless of the quantity you order. This means embroidery is more cost effective overall for large orders and the technique we recommend for the best results on clothing and headwear.

What are the Disadvantages of Embroidery?

• Embroidery can only be used on fabric materials such as clothing, hats, and some bags. This means we cannot use embroidery to decorate any of our plastic or metal products.
  
  
• While embroidery isn't charged based on your use of colour, it is charged based on the number of stitches so the more complex or large your design, the more the cost of your decoration will be.
