Any business, team, group, or club comes to a point when custom clothing is needed, for whatever reason. There are some guidelines that need to be followed when ordering and purchasing custom embroidered clothing. Here is a look at what to expect.
Embroidery is a tried and true technique for getting customized clothing with a great look. For commercial embroidery, machines are used to stitch specialized embroidery thread to a given fabric. Most fabrics can be embroidered. Cotton is the best choice, but synthetic fabrics are also able to be embroidered.
In order for a logo to be embroidered, it must be put into a special digital format that can be read by embroidery machines. The process is called digitizing, and must be done well for a good looking product. The digital format tells the machine how many stitches and when to change colors.
Most embroidered logos contain only about two or three colors. The reason is that changing colors too many times can result in a disorganized looking logo. Embroidery is priced by the stitch and not the color, so a simple logo is best.
