Embroidery

Embroidery is a classic, durable method of garment decoration, using stitched threads to create a high-quality, professional finish. It’s the perfect choice for workwear, uniforms, and branding that needs to stand out and last through daily wear and washing.

Your Embroidery Questions Answered

What is embroidery best used for?
Embroidery is ideal for logos, names, and simple artwork on polos, jackets, caps, and uniforms. It's great for professional, long-lasting branding.
How many colours can embroidery include?
Most designs can include up to 15 colours. We stock a wide range of threads and can match colours closely to your branding.
Is embroidery durable?
Yes! Embroidery is extremely durable and resistant to wear, washing, and ironing. It won’t peel, crack, or fade like some print methods.
Can I get a sample before full production?
Yes. We can run a sample stitch so you can approve the size, detail, and placement before your full order is completed.
Is there a setup or digitising fee?
Yes, we charge a one-time setup fee (usually around £20) to convert your artwork into an embroidery-ready format. You won’t pay this again for future orders using the same design.
Can embroidery be done on any fabric?
Embroidery works on most fabrics, but thick or stretchy materials may need special handling. We'll advise the best option based on your garment choice.
When should I choose embroidery over print?
Choose embroidery when you want a premium, professional finish that’s built to last — especially for logos on uniforms, outerwear, and promotional apparel.
