Logo embroidery for shirts, jackets and workwear

Embroidery stitches your logo into the fabric with thread, giving a raised, textured finish that reads as premium. It is the usual choice for company golf shirts, reception and hospitality uniforms, jackets, fleeces and branded gifts.

It suits solid logos, monograms and lettering. Very fine detail, tiny text and photographic images do not translate well into stitches, so some artwork needs simplifying. We will say so plainly when we see your file, and suggest DTF or screen printing when a printed finish is the better fit.

Before stitching, your logo has to be digitised, which means converting it into a stitch file that tells the machine where each stitch goes. Good digitising is what makes small lettering legible and keeps fabric from puckering.

• Placement: left chest, right chest, sleeve, back yoke, cap front and more.
• Thread colours: matched as closely as possible to your brand colours from the thread range.
• Size: tell us the width you want, because small text has a minimum readable height.
• Garments: polos, shirts, jackets, fleeces, aprons and caps; heavy or very stretchy fabrics may need backing, so mention the fabric.

Send the cleanest version of your logo: vector (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, CDR) is ideal, and a large PNG or JPG can work if the shapes are clear. Include Pantone or thread colour references when brand colours matter.

• Tell us garment type, quantity and where the logo goes.
• Mention if the same logo is needed on several garment types.
• Ask for a digitised sample or proof if this is a first order for the logo.

Once a logo is digitised, repeat orders are far quicker because the stitch file can be reused where it was saved. Upload files on the quote form, or start on chat.

Many clients come to us with a deadline: new staff starting Monday, a golf day on Friday, a site induction tomorrow. Same-day embroidery can sometimes be arranged for small to medium batches.

It depends on capacity, job size, garment availability, an already approved logo file, payment and a confirmed deadline. A new logo needs digitising first, which takes extra time. Supplying garments in the right sizes and sending the logo early gives the best chance.

• Golf shirts and corporate wear: polos, shirts, blouses and jackets for teams.
• Caps: see cap branding for headwear.
• Protective wear: safety vests, overalls and workwear jackets can be embroidered where the fabric allows.
