Embroidery

Embroidery: Perfect for Professional Workforce Apparel
Embroidery adds a polished, professional touch to workforce apparel, enhancing brand visibility and team identity. It’s ideal for businesses aiming to create a cohesive, professional image.

How It Works

The garment is secured with a metal frame, and a backing fabric stabilises the logo area. Your design is digitised and stitched using premium threads by a computerised embroidery machine. Any slight marks left can be easily removed by washing or rubbing.

Additional Notes

To maintain our high standards, we limit embroidery services to garments weighing 175gsm or more. Lighter fabrics often lack the stability needed to hold embroidery properly, which can result in uneven stitching and a subpar finish. By focusing on heavier materials, we ensure every design is crisp, durable, and meets our quality expectations.

This approach guarantees a professional look and long-lasting results, making embroidery ideal for corporate uniforms, branded apparel, and promotional wear. Whether it’s polo shirts, jackets, or headwear, our embroidery delivers a premium finish that enhances your brand’s image.

Why This Matters

  • Professional Quality: Ensures clean, precise stitching.

  • Durability: Designs withstand frequent washing and wear.

  • Brand Consistency: Maintains a polished appearance for your team.
