What is the minimum order for embroidery?

We have no strict minimums for embroidery. Whether you need a single custom hat or hundreds of embroidered polos for your team, we can help. Pricing per piece decreases with larger quantities.

How long does custom embroidery take?

Standard turnaround for embroidery orders is 2-3 weeks from artwork approval. Rush orders may be available depending on our current workload. Contact us for specific timeline needs.

What is logo digitizing and do I need it?

Logo digitizing converts your artwork into a stitch file that embroidery machines can read. If this is your first time embroidering your logo, a one-time digitizing fee applies. Once digitized, your logo file is saved for future orders.

What items can be embroidered?

We embroider hats, caps, polos, jackets, hoodies, work shirts, bags, towels, blankets, and more. Most fabric items can be embroidered. Contact us if you have a specific item in mind.

Is embroidery better than screen printing?

Embroidery creates a premium, textured finish that never cracks or fades - ideal for professional workwear, hats, and outerwear. Screen printing is better for large designs, bright colors on t-shirts, and budget-conscious bulk orders. We offer both services and can help you choose.
