Embroidery

What is it?
Embroidery is the process of transferring your logo or message by stitching cotton on to various garments like shirts, caps & jackets.

Specialised computerised embroidery machines have been designed to work with data from a computer. This data tells the machine how to stitch your logo or message.

In the promotional industry, we use machines that embroider many garments or caps at the same time, saving you money.

The following are photos of our embroidery partner's multi-head embroidery production in progress.
