Embroidery is the craft of stitching your design or logo into the fabric of a garment such as a polo shirt, fleece, cap or shirt. At Shirt Printers we are able to stitch up to 12 colours into your embroidered logo design.

Embroidery is the preferred method of garment decoration for corporate and workwear clothing as it looks classy and is an effective way of promoting your company, club or promotional event. Our embroidery process can be applied to virtually all types of clothing including shirts and t shirts, hooded tops, embroidered polo shirts and baseball caps being amongst the favourites.

artwork file types

Artwork

We require your artwork to be supplied as a Vector-line graphic either as an Adobe Illustrator file AI, EPS, PDF file or CorelDraw file with all fonts outlined. We do accept other file formats such as Jpegs or Bitmaps but these must be provided in a high resolution (300dpi).

Once we have received your artwork and you have chosen the the type of garment to be embroidered we'll produce a graphic mock of what your embroidered clothing will look like. If you are happy with it, sign it off and we'll commence production.

embroidery digitization

Embroidery Digitisation

We digitise your artwork so that our embroidery machines are able to calculate the required number of stitches required to reproduce your design. Digitisation does involve a set-up cost as this is done out of house. In general large complex designs cost more than simple text. For example an embroidery made up of plain text will cost roughly £15 to be digitised where as an embroidered left chest logo would cost between £20 - £25. If you require a large area of your garment embroidered or if your design is of a more complex nature please contact us by phone or email.
