EMBROIDERY EXPLAINED
Embroidery is a quality garment decoration method that is both long lasting and showcases your brand in the best way possible.
It starts with your logo which we take and turn into an embroidery design using what embroidery companies call ‘digitizing’. Simply put this traces your original artwork and converts it to a series of stich patterns and fills that comprise your logo design.
Generally logo’s are applied to the breast area of a garment in the majority of cases but we can also create larger embroidery designs for the back of garments that include contact details such as your phone number, email, facebook page and website address.
Additional logos can be applied to sleeves and the opposite breast position such as logos for trade bodies you are a member of such as Gas Safe or Hetas. We carry a range of pre-digitised logos for these can you can add for a nominal cost.
IS EMBROIDERY MORE EXPENSIVE?
Some misconceptions see embroidery as more expensive than getting a simple vinyl print on a garment.
This is not the case, in fact embroidery is very cost effective and comparable to the cost of other print and garment decoration methods currently available. The main cost will be the setup if you have a logo. This can be a time heavy process and takes a good deal of design skills depending on the details in your design.
At Dotcolour we charge a flat rate of £15.00 for a design setup for breast and back designs of a standard size. However if your order is over £100 before VAT then we’ll take care of the digitizing for free and send you a proof for approval before we commence any work.
If would like a sample before placing an order then we are happy to assist you and will be happy to credit the cost of the digitizing to a larger order over £100 if placed within three months.
