Embroidery The logo or detail is sewn or woven into the material and is very effective in branding anything of a textile nature (eg. caps, T-shirts, apparel, bags etc).

Artwork is then digitized by the embroiderer and a plot sheet is given identifying colours and the number of stitches used. The number of stitches used is the determining factor for the embroidery charge instead of the number of colours used. Advantages of Embroidery is that unless it is “unpicked” it will last the life-span of the garment, as seen in the table below:

Pro Con

small logos with multiple colours.

particularly cost-effective.

translate well with embroidery.
