Embroidery
Embroidery stitches your logo into the fabric with thread rather than printing on top of it. There is no ink to crack, fade or peel, which is why it remains the default for anything a team wears every day.
Where it wins
Uniforms, polos, caps, jackets and anything heading for a commercial laundry. It also simply reads as more considered. A stitched logo on a corporate shirt carries a weight a print does not, and customers notice it without being able to say why.
Digitising, and why it happens once
Your logo has to be converted into stitch instructions before a machine can sew it. That is a one off setup per design. Once it exists we keep the file, so every reorder afterwards skips the step and the cost.
What it does not do well
Fine detail, tiny text and gradients. Thread has a physical width and there is a limit to how small a legible letter can be sewn. Rather than shrink your logo until it turns to mush, we will usually suggest simplifying it for the embroidered version. It is normal practice and the result looks deliberate.
Fabric matters
Lightweight knits need a backing so the stitching does not pull the fabric out of shape. Heavier garments host a dense logo more comfortably. If you are choosing between two garments and embroidery is the plan, the heavier one is usually the safer pick.
Common questions
Can you add names as well as the logo?
Yes. Individual names or roles alongside a chest logo are routine. Send them as a clean list against sizes.
How many thread colours can you use?
Enough for almost any logo. Unlike screen printing, colour count has far less effect on price.
Is it worth it on a t-shirt?
Sometimes. On a lighter tee a small left chest mark works nicely, but a large embroidered design can feel heavy. We will tell you honestly if a print would serve you better.
