How Custom Embroidery Works:

Stitch Logo provides direct to garment embroidery, meaning we stitch your design right onto the garment or accessory.


Send us your Design

Email your design in one of the following formats: PDF, JPG, TIFF, PNG.

FREE Sew-out Proof

Once you place your order with Stitch Logo we will create a digitized file for your design for embroidery, sew a sample on a piece of fabric on our machines and email you for approval before we embroidery any of your items. This process can take 2-4 business days.

Design Kept on File

Once your design has been digitized for embroidery, we will keep it on file to be used on futre orders. You will not have to pay another setup fee unless you change your design.

More Information about Custom Embroidery.

Let us know what size you want your design: Let us know how wide in inches you want your design to be. Design Recommendations: Text cannot be sewn smaller than 0.25" high. Designs with a lot of small details may have to be simplified.

Trying to match an existing embroidery? Email us a picture of the embroidery design with the width in inches.

Standard Embroidery Sizes: Shirt and Jackets no larger than 4" wide. Blazers, Suit Jackets & Open Cardigan no wider than 2". Hats no larger than 2.1" high. Visors no larger than 1" high.

Standard Embroidery Placement: Left chest is standard for all shirts and jackets. Center is standard for hats and visors. A few items require alternate placements depending on pocket locations and brand logos. We cannot embroider on a pocket as it will render the pocket unusable. If you want your design embroidered in a different location, just let us know and we will let you know if it will work on the items you order.

  • Standard Thread Colors: Black, White, Yellow, Gold, Red and Royal Blue. We offer 4 additional colors at no extra charge. If you require more colors, please email us for a quote.

  • Ordering Light & Dark Items? We do not charge for color changes for light and dark items.

  • Performance Fabrics:  Lightweight performance fabrics require backing. White and light colored products will show the backing through the material in most cases. We recommend wearing an undershirt or ordering a different colored shirt to avoid this issue.

  • Ordering a mix of Shirts, Hats or Visors? A logo edit fee may apply due to size limitations.

    Is your design larger than the standard 10,000 stitch maximum? 10,000 stitches will cover most left chest size designs. There is an additional charge for additional work. Email us your design for a free quote.

    How Screen Printing Works:

    Screen printing is performed by pressing ink through a fine screen which applies your design to the product.


    Vector Artwork is Required: This is a specific file that is created for print. It is often times created in Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw and other technical drawing programs. The artwork is separated by color and the size must be set for what will be used for print.

    Can Stitch Logo create vector artwork? Yes, we are more than happy to create your vector artwork. Most designs only cost $20.00 to setup.

    Factors that influence price: Number of colors in a design, number of locations items will be printed, quantity of items.

    Minimum Orders: There is a 24 piece minimum for screen printing a 1-color design. Minimum orders for multiple color design varies. Please ask for a quote.
