Embroidery Pros :
- has a high perceived value
- sits on top of the fabric providing a "3D" effect
- uses the same raw material as the garment, ie a thread, making it more stable
- long life span compared to other branding methods
- most file formats can be converted to embroidery, however EPS is best.
Embroidery Cons :
- isn't great with fine detail
- can't produce gradient colour fades, as thread is a solid colour
- text needs to be at least 6mm in height otherwise it can look messy
- pricing is based on stitch count so very large embroideries (like on the back of jackets) can be quite expensive
- keylines around fonts increase the stitch count & cost considerably & often look messy
Embroidery is Best for :
- Embroidery is the branding all rounder, it's suitable for most fabric based products including caps, beanies, bags & clothing.

Embroidery New Artwork Approval Process :
If you're a new customer (or an existing customers with new artwork) your Embroidery branding setup fee covers the cost of producing a physical sample stitch out of your logo embroidery on a swatch of fabric* for approval. Once approved your artwork is stored in our machine for future use. You won't need to pay any repeat embroidery setup fees, unless you change or modify your artwork or branding method.
*Please note : the stitch out is prepared on sampling fabric which won't be the same fabric as your products. The stitch out is an exact "stitch out" of how your logo will be on your completed products. Exact means, same size, same colour, same everything.
