Design for thread
Fine gradients and very small lettering may need changes for stitching. Agree a stitch-out at the final dimensions so the artwork remains recognisable and readable.

Embroidery
Give your logo a stitched finish that suits the garment. Start with the final size, base fabric and wearer comfort, then approve the stitch-out.

01 — In short
What is embroidery?
Custom embroidery creates artwork with stitched thread on a garment or an attached application. It is often selected for polo chest logos, caps, crests and jacket branding. Artwork must be prepared for stitching, with density, backing and placement matched to the fabric and reviewed in a physical sample.
02 — The order brief
Make the important details clear.
These are approval points for your specific garment. Materials, techniques, minimums and timing are confirmed in the written order brief.
- Artwork
- Provide a clean logo and the final size; a print file is not automatically a stitch file.
- Thread colours
- Agree thread references and the visual match under normal viewing conditions.
- Base and backing
- Select stabilisation for the fabric, garment weight and skin-contact position.
- Placement
- Specify dimensions from seams, plackets, pockets or the cap construction.
- Approval
- Review edge clarity, small text, puckering, inside comfort and wash appearance.
03 — From artwork to approval
Three decisions that shape the result.
Support the fabric correctly
A light stretch panel and a firm cap front need different support. Review the outside and reverse together, including the effect of backing on comfort and drape.
Control position across sizes
Define whether the mark stays the same size and how its position is measured. Approve the placement on the relevant garment sizes before bulk.
04 — Four specialist lines
Choose the application, not just the effect.
The same method is not automatically suitable for every garment. Use these starting points to discuss a practical fabric, fit and finish combination.

06 — Care and quality
Judge the complete garment.
Follow the approved decorated garment label. Protect the stitched area from unnecessary abrasion and review any pressing instructions for the thread, backing and base fabric together.
Keep the approved sample and specification together. Review any change in fabric, artwork, trim or finishing before repeating a production run; a previous approval does not establish that a different combination will behave identically.

10 questions about Embroidery.
Practical answers for preparing the garment, artwork, sample and order brief.
Can my logo be embroidered on a polo?
A suitable logo can be developed for embroidery on the chosen polo. Approve the final dimensions, thread colours, backing and stitch-out on the actual body fabric.
What is embroidery digitising?
It is the preparation of stitch instructions from the artwork. It considers stitch types, sequence and density, and the result should be reviewed on the chosen garment.
Can embroidery reproduce very small text?
Small lettering has practical limits that depend on typeface, size, thread and surface. Review a physical stitch-out and approve any simplification before production.
Why can fabric pucker around embroidery?
The fabric, stabilisation, stitch density and application process can contribute. Review the sampled garment for a balanced result rather than increasing stitch density automatically.
Can embroidery be applied to caps?
Yes, with a design and process suitable for the cap construction. Seams, crown shape and available embroidery area should be considered at the artwork stage.
Can a logo be embroidered on stretch fabric?
It can be considered in a suitable position. Assess how the stitching and backing affect stretch, recovery and skin comfort; another branding route may suit some panels better.
Can embroidery be tonal?
Yes. Agree the thread and fabric combination through a sample, because a close colour match and thread sheen can look different from a flat digital colour swatch.
What should I check on an embroidery sample?
Inspect shape, lettering, thread colours, placement, backing, puckering and loose thread. Review the decorated garment after the agreed care process before bulk approval.
Can I approve a sample for embroidery before bulk?
Discuss embroidery with the garment and artwork brief. Review the relevant physical sample or proof, record changes and approve the final specification before the agreed bulk work proceeds.
How are quantities and timing confirmed for embroidery?
Send the garment styles, sizes, colours, artwork versions and quantity breakdown. Minimums, development scope, sample requirements and timing for embroidery are confirmed for the order in writing; there are no fixed public prices.
09 — Your next step
Bring the brief. Approve the sample.
Send the product, target fabric, colours, size range, artwork and quantity breakdown. Explain the intended use and any required performance or care evidence. We discuss the applicable route, confirm the development scope and identify the sample or proof needed for approval.
Review the finish alongside the garment fit, labels and packing. Confirm the agreed revision and order conditions before bulk production.
