Custom Embroidered Shirts, Hats & So Much More!

Our custom embroidery services will give your product an extra-oomph. Embroidery is the process of using needle and thread and can be used on a variety of garments from T-shirts to hats, bags and more. If you’d like to fancy-up some gear, embroidery is the way to go.

A special image format is stitched repeatedly using needle and thread to reproduce your final design, pattern, or logo on a garment that otherwise would be difficult to print. The higher the “thread count” used on your product, the more detailed and cleaner the final design will look. Not all images are suitable for embroidery, however. Some artwork is too intricate to sew, we usually recommend keeping to solid colors rather than color blends or gradients which are next to impossible to represent properly.

Embroidery vs Screen Print: What’s The Difference?

It’s important to understand the differences between embroidery and screen printing to help you determine which is the best fit for your products. Screen printing, or ‘silk screening’, is a method of forcing ink through a fine screen mesh to apply it to a garment. Embroidery, on the other hand, is a process of sewing, using needle and thread, to reproduce your artwork. Screen printing yields a soft and sharp feel but it can’t be used on all garments. That’s where embroidery comes in. For example, it’s more complicated to print on materials that are not flat. For this reason, jackets, hats, and bags are usually embroidered instead.

Embroidery offers some neat features like the ability to provide raised characters or patterns, sometimes referred to as “puffing”. Screen printing gives a very high level of detail where embroidery often falls short. Unique textures, gradients, and shading are where screen printing really shines.

Price Differences

In general, pricing is based on the total thread stitch count and the number of pieces. For an embroidery job, the first thing you’ll want to consider is how detail and size play a role. The more detail required, the higher the thread count will need to be. The higher the thread count, the longer the process required to embroider.
