What Is Custom Embroidery?

Embroidery sews your design into the garment with thread — not printed on top. Every design is hand-digitized in-house for clean, quality stitching, and the result is a premium, durable, dimensional finish you can see and feel.

  • Thread sewn in — durable & premium
  • Many finishes: flat, 3D puff, chain stitch & more
  • Massive thread library, plus metallic & neon

Pro Tip: Embroidery loves bold, simple logos and lettering — keep text legible and skip thin, intricate lines. It's solid-color thread (no gradients), and we hand-digitize every design.

How it works

How This Process Works

Three simple steps from design to finished merch — and every order is triple-checked by our team before production and again before it ships.

Step 01

Choose your product(s)

Pick your blank — embroidery works on caps, polos, jackets, beanies, bags, hoodies, and more — then choose your colors, sizes, and the placement you want.

Step 02

Upload your design

Send your logo or lettering and any special instructions. We hand-digitize your design for free, match your threads, and you approve a proof before we stitch.

Step 03

Make a lasting impression

Hand out merch with a premium, stitched, dimensional finish your employees and customers actually want to wear.

Not sure which embroidery type fits?

Flat for clean logos, 3D puff for bold caps, chain stitch for vintage, chenille for varsity. Your rep will recommend the best finish and triple-check every order.

Custom Embroidery: Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Haven't found what you are looking for? Email or contact us and we'd be happy to assist.

What is custom embroidery?

Embroidery sews your design into the garment with thread, rather than printing on top. Every design is hand-digitized in-house for clean, quality stitching, giving a premium, durable, dimensional finish on apparel, headwear, and accessories.

What types of embroidery do you offer?

Standard flat embroidery, 3D puff (foam-raised), metallic-thread, neon-thread, and chain stitch embroidery, plus chenille and woven/embroidered patches and custom woven labels.

How is embroidery different from printing?

Embroidery is thread sewn into the garment — durable, textured, and dimensional — while printing lays ink on top. Embroidery uses solid thread colors only, so it can't do fades or gradients the way DTG or screen printing can.

Can you match a Pantone thread color?

We can't Pantone-match thread, but we have a massive library of thread colors to choose from. If you need an exact match, we can dye the garment to match the thread.

What designs work best for embroidery?

Bold, simple logos and lettering work best. Keep letters legible and avoid very small text or thin, intricate lines, since fine detail doesn't always translate well into stitches.

Can you combine embroidery with printing?

Absolutely. Mixing services — like embroidery plus screen printing on the same garment — can create a really unique, custom look.

Is digitizing extra?

No. Digitizing is free and included — there are no additional setup fees, and every order is triple-checked before it ships.
