EMBROIDERY FAQs

Do you have a minimum?

No, we don’t have a minimum but we do have price groups, which are 1-11, 12-23, 24-71, 72-144, 145-288, 289-500, 500+. A price group can consist of a variety of garment styles, sizes, and colors as long as they are getting embroidered the same way. Caps must be counted as a separate quantity from flat items such as garments, bags or knit caps as they require a separate set-up.

What does it cost to setup a new embroidery?

Standard left chest or cap size embroidery setups price as follows; $25 for a text only setup, which must use our stock fonts. Or there is a $50 setup which includes a logo and/or fonts not carried in stock. Oversize embroidery setups are charged by the stitch-count.

Do I have to pay setup on reorders?

No, embroidery setup charges are a one-time fee.

How long does it take?

We guarantee your embroidery will be ready in 1-2 weeks from the day you place the order. Frequently we are faster and we always complete our jobs as quickly as possible and will call you as soon as they are ready to be picked up. A lot of the 2 week time frame is for scheduling purposes so if you know when you are going to need an order ready but don’t have all the details yet let us know. We can put you on the joblist and help you plan ahead, ensuring everything is ready on time.

Do you offer Rush Service?

Yes, we can get a job completed in 24 hours if we need to. Rush jobs will incure a rush charge for the whole order and possibly rush shipping charges to get your blank garments in on time. Just let us know your deadline and we will let you know how we can accomodate you.

How much do individual names and numbers cost?

Embroidered names are $6.50 each for left or right chest names less than 1 inch in height. Numbers are $2 each for 2 inch or smaller numbers. Garments you bring in will be a minimum of $12.50 to personalize. We do not charge per character or per digit like some of our stingy competitors do. We will charge more for multiple locations.

What is Applique?

Applique is a method of attaching felt, tackle-twill, or other fabric to garments. Pre-cut letters and numbers are ironed-on and then sewn-down to the garment.

Do you make or sew-on patches?

We can provide you with patches from experienced colleagues in the industry, but we do not make them in house. Many of these patches can be adhered to garments with our heat presses. We do not sew on patches
