Embroidery
Commercial embroidery is a high-volume, automated production method used to stitch logos, text, and decorative designs onto apparel, uniforms, and promotional merchandise. Built for rapid fulfillment and continuous operation, it relies on industrial multi-needle machines and specialized software to scale from one-off samples to massive bulk runs.
Tips and Tricks for Embroidery
Get Rid of Small and Skinny Text
Getting rid of small text is necessary for the embroidery to come out clean and crisp. If it's a necessary addition to your logo, make the text bigger or make slight adjustments. If you're not sure what to do, we can help you adjust your logo so that it will look its best when it's embroidered. Small text needs to be at least 0.25" to work for embroidery.
The Simpler the Better
It's common to think "I want my logo to stand out, so it needs to have a lot going on." However, if you're going with embroidery, it's best to keep it simple. This way, you'll have something that's easy for people to understand at a glance and it looks amazing when it's embroidered. Plus, lower thread counts = a lower cost.
Size
There are varying size differences for embroidered logos for hats, polos/jackets, and bags.
Choosing Fonts
Some fonts translate to embroidery much better than others. For the best results, think clean, bold, and simple. Avoid any fonts that are extra thin, distressed, overly complex, or have lots of fancy flourishes.
Product and Fabric Selection
The best places for embroidery are on structured products, such as caps, jackets, aprons, bags, etc. Different items have strict physical boundaries based on how they fit onto our machine frames. For example, designs on the front of a cap cannot exceed 2.25 inches tall and the sweet spot for a corporate chest logo is between 3.0 to 3.5 inches wide. We also customize our stabilization methods to match the specific garment you choose.
