How Does Embroidery Work?

Embroidery is the process of stitching thread into fabric to create a design. We use commercial-grade multi-head embroidery machines that can stitch thousands of stitches per minute with precise accuracy. Your logo is first converted into a 'digitized' file that tells the machine exactly where to place each stitch, what color thread to use, and in what order. The result is a permanent, professional decoration that won't fade, crack, or peel.

1

Digitization

2

Thread Selection

3

Backing Selection

4

Machine Setup

Your design is loaded and the garment is hooped for precise placement.

Embroidery FAQ

Common questions about our custom embroidery services

The minimum order quantity for custom embroidery is 50 pieces.
Embroidery prices are custom quoted per project. Pricing depends on several factors, including: • Garment type (e.g., t-shirts, sweatshirts, performance wear) • Number of colors and placements • Order quantity (larger embroidery orders receive volume discounts)
Our standard embroidery production turnaround time is 10 business days from the date of final artwork approval and receipt of all blank garments. Turnaround time may vary depending on: • Current production volume • Order size and complexity • Add-on services (relabeling, folding, bagging, etc.) • Shipping or delivery requirements
Absolutely. If you're undecided on which garment to use for your embroidery project, we strongly recommend ordering blank samples before proceeding with a full production run. This helps ensure you're confident in your garment selection before printing begins.
Yes. We offer tiered pricing for bulk embroidery orders, meaning the more you order, the lower the cost per piece. Our minimum order is 50 pieces, with price breaks available at 75, 100, 150, 250, 500, and 1000 pieces.
Yes, we can re-label blank garments, but it's important to understand the type of label currently on the product to determine the best approach for rebranding. Tear-Away Labels If your shirts come with tear-away tags, we will remove them free of charge and print your custom neck label in its place. Cut-Away Labels Some garments may come with cut-away labels, which are designed to be removed by cutting. While we can remove these as well, it requires additional labor and may incur additional charges.
Yes. Rush embroidery orders are typically completed within 2–4 business days, depending on the scope of the project and our current production capacity. Rush turnaround is contingent on the following: • Artwork approval and blank garment delivery must be finalized upfront • All order details (sizes, styles, and print specifications) must be confirmed with no revisions • Availability of your requested garments from our suppliers Rush fees apply and are quoted based on order complexity, decoration method, and required ship or pickup date. Please contact your sales representative as early as possible to confirm if a rush production slot is available. Rush jobs are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Expert Advice

5 Tips for Great Embroidery

1

Vector Files Are Best

Submit your logo in AI, EPS, or PDF format. We'll handle the digitization for embroidery.

2

Simplify Small Details

Thread can't replicate tiny details. We'll optimize your design for best stitch results.

3

Consider Stitch Count

More stitches = longer production time = higher cost. Let us help optimize your design.

4

Choose the Right Garment

Structured fabrics like pique polo and twill caps produce the cleanest embroidery.

5

Plan Your Placements

Left chest is most popular, but we also do right chest, sleeve, back, and cap front.
