Embroidery
Where is the embroidery placed on the cap?
Stock designs are placed on to the front of the crown unless otherwise stated. Front text is also placed on the crown, if a stock design and text is required the overall design may be made smaller to fit. Back text is arched over the opening or if the cap is elasticated or a wool hat then its in a straight line.
Where is the embroidery placed on a bag?
Bag embroidery is central on the front panel only.
Where is the embroidery placed on garments?
Left chest on the front and across the back shoulders, we can embroider onto the sleeves if required.
Will you embroider anything on my item?
We will embroider anything you like so long as its not racist, hateful, strong offensive language, likely to cause offence or upset, licensed or copyrighted. if you are unsure please call us for approval before you place the order.
Can I type in a different language?
Sorry no as our embroidery software does not recognise this, you would have to type this in as large as possible in the correct font and email it as a jpeg or bitmap as this would be classed as an own logo at an additional £10.00 as we would have to actually draw around it to add the stitches in.
Do you offer licensed goods?
No, we only embroider custom bespoke designs.
Can I have my company/ team logo embroidered?
Yes, the artwork must be good quality and large as possible in a JPEG or BITMAP format, please email this to us so we can see if its suitable to transfer into embroidery format. Please note we cannot work from photographs at all.
Can all logos be embroidered?
No, sorry, some logos are simply too complex to transfer into embroidery format and are simply more suited to printing. Designs that cannot be embroidered, such as those with colour gradients or very intricate designs and small text.
Unsure about your logo?
We have years of experience, if your unsure please email it over for us first and we will get straight back to you.
Is there a setup fee?

Do you have more thread colours?
Yes, we have many thread colours to choose from, if you would like us to match your own colours simply email us a Pantone reference number or RGB number and we will match it as close as possible.
What colour thread do you use when the customer clicks the “leave it to us“ option?
We use our own discretion as to what we think works best for each cap, we don’t just choose a standard black or white so please keep this in mind, this could be any colour, if this is not something you want to risk then please choose your own colour as we can not redo the embroidery.
Do you have more stock designs available?
Yes, we have a huge selection, email us your requirements and we can search our database.
