Hardwearing, versatile, and creates a high quality and premium finished product; embroidery is an ideal alternative to printing, especially for uniforms and workwear garments that require a lot of washing or wear and tear. Also, for people trying to create a high-end finish or personalised product.
We have two state of the art embroidery machines which features the latest technology to enable us to create beautiful designs across a wide range of products. We ‘digitise’ your artwork into a format that our embroidery machine can understand. Digitising is a form of art and can be the difference between a quality sew out of your design or not. We keep the digitised file; the file can be used again and again for subsequent orders.
The cost of embroidery, whether on embroidered workwear, corporate clothing, embroidered polo shirts or custom embroidered caps, is based on the number of stitches in the artwork; the higher the stitch density expensive it will cost.
We take an equal amount of pride in our embroidery service as we do our screen printing, and since its inception, we use sustainable practices and look to better our abilities whenever and wherever we can.
HOW IT WORKS
Embroidery is a pretty involved process. It's probably not as difficult as our head of embroidery would have you believe, but there are a number of steps behind the scenes that go into stitching out your artwork. Firstly, we have to convert your artwork file into a file type the embroidery machine recognises and follows, this process is called digitisation (see below). All the spools of thread are loaded manually onto and threaded through the machine. The spools are changed with almost every job. We colour match your artwork during the mocking up and proofing stage.
Before starting production of your job, we run a sample of the embroidery file to make sure it runs without issue, we also double check the thread colours we've chosen match your artwork. If the embroidery samples well, we proceed with production. To get the same placement across your garments, we mark up where we want the artwork centre point to be on your garment and hoop up with this point in the centre of the embroidery hoop. From here, we're good to slide the embroidery hoops into the mounts on the machine and press the big, green button for go.
