Top 5 Things Buyers Should Know About Embroidery

1) Embroidery does not take as long as you may have thought. Embroidery is an involved process of stitching an image or letters to a cloth. In the past this was a very tedious and manual process, but with computer technology this process has been “digitized”. Nowadays, it just takes a few days to embroider items in bulk!

2) Embroidery fees are based on the number of stitches used. There is no difference in price whether you use one color or many colors in embroidery as long as they have the same stitch count. However, the size and design details matter in counting stitches.

3) The greater the number of stitches used, the finer your embroidery will be. Your design will dictate the minimum number of stitches that will be required for professional-looking embroidery.

4) There is a one-time digitizing charge. Digitizing is the process of converting your logo or text into a “stitched” image. It is standard practice to be charged a one-time digitizing fee. The embroiderer then keeps your digitized image on file for future reorder or new embroidered orders.

5) There are different thread and embroidery placements options.  Satin thread is the traditional thread used for embroidery. It is also the thread used as “default” for digitized embroidery. For an extra charge, you can upgrade the thread to specialty threads like glow-in-the-dark, metallic, and matte threads.

There are several embroidery placement options for polo shirts, woven shirts, jackets, and caps. On men’s shirts, text and logos can be embroidered on the left chest, below the placket, on the back yoke, or above the cuff.  On women’s shirts, logos can be embroidered on the left chest, left collar tip, or left hip. Logos for jackets can be embroidered on the left chest, right or left biceps, back yoke, or full back. For fleece and windshirts[wind jackets?], a logo can be embroidered on the left chest, below the zipper, or on the right or left bicep.

Imprints for caps and visors can be placed on the crown, on the left or right side of the cap or on back of the cap.

Bags have different imprint areas depending on the style and cut. Verify the imprint location and size before placing orders. This will guarantee you will be getting the item as you have expected.
