Embroidery
Once we have your logo or design digitised in an embroidery software format, it can be loaded into our embroidery machines for sewing.
Embroidery creates an impression of quality & style. Excellent for polos, jackets, caps, knitwear etc. Embroidery will normally outlast any garment onto which it is applied. Recent advances in embroidery software mean that design set up costs can be low and the new generation of embroidery machines run quickly with any number of colours being applied in a single operation. However large designs can be time consuming to produce & so costs can increase significantly relative to the size.
PROS- long lasting, looks expensive, full colour at no extra cost.
CONS- more expensive than printing, especially for large designs & not always suitable for very light materials.
Setup (aka Digitising or Origination):
The first is an embroidery setup charge which covers the cost of having the design digitised and a jacquard created. This is a one off charge as once we have done this your design is stored and hence if you place an order in the future there will be no need to pay another setup charge. Embroidery setup is normally charged at £7 per 1000 stitches (ex VAT). An average company or club logo is approximately 6000 stitches.
