Embroidery Benefits

Embroidery is a great way to decorate a shirt, hoodie, sweatshirt, or polo shirts for a lasting finish.

Embroidery gives your logo a finished look

  • This is perfect for an organization or brand that values excellence and quality.
  • Embroidery ensures meticulous detailing and precision in designs. Our staff monitors and adjusts the stitch count for each customizable design.

Particularly durable and lasting

  • Embroidery services use threads to weave a design into a garment. This makes custom embroidered clothing long-lasting.

Embroidery works on a wide range of garments

  • Unlike other methods that have limits on print area or material, custom embroidery services let you place your logo or design on a shirt, hoodie, or workwear.
  • Embroidery machines use digital files: These machines use digital files and programmed needles to stitch patterns onto fabric. They follow exact patterns and stitch counts to create detailed, customized embroidery.

Limitations of Custom Embroidery

Custom embroidery is great, but some designs work better with other printing methods. Here’s what to consider:

Embroidering gradients

  • It is difficult because a gradient requires multiple changes in the thread.

Number of unique colours

  • There is a strict limitation of 12 colours for embroidery.

Embroidering small details

  • If your design artwork is intricate, it may be better suited for screen printing.
  • A small letter can be difficult to print due to the limitations of stitching precision.

Printing a large design is expensive

  • The larger your logo or design, the more costly the embroidery. If you need a budget-friendly option, we recommend a screen print.

Embroidery may ruin waterproof garments

  • If you're embroidering a waterproof jacket, DTF or screen printing is a better choice to maintain durability.

Things to Consider


Embroidery isn’t always the best fit for every project:

  • Gradients are tough to embroider cleanly
  • 12-colour max per piece
  • Tiny graphic design details might not stitch clearly
  • Larger embroidery products take more time and raise the pricing
  • Some waterproof garments (like outerwear) are better with screen printing
