What works best for embroidery
Embroidery suits bold logos with clear shapes. Very fine text and tiny detail can blur in thread, so we may suggest small adjustments to keep your logo crisp. Thread colours are matched to your brand colours.
It works on polo shirts, caps and headwear, jackets, fleece and heavier cotton. For lightweight tees or full-colour artwork, printing is usually the better option.
How embroidery is priced
Embroidery pricing depends on the stitch count of your design, the number of positions and the quantity. Your logo is digitised once, then kept on file for reorders. Contact OCC Apparel to discuss digitising.
Teams that reorder uniforms through the year can keep their range, artwork and ordering in one place with an OCC OMM™ ordering portal.
Embroidered uniforms that stay consistent
Staff uniforms need to look the same in every order, whether it’s the first hundred polos or ten replacements a year later. We keep your stitch file, thread colours and positions on file, so reorders match the original.
Pair embroidered polos and caps with printed tees or hoodies for events and campaigns. We supply and decorate the whole range in one order, with one mockup to approve and one delivery.
- Left chest, sleeve, back yoke and cap front positions
- Brand-matched thread colours kept on file
- Mixed ranges of embroidered and printed garments
