Embroidery is a process of creating a design by sewing or stitching onto a garment. Using various types of threads, any image, word, or shape can be embroidered onto any material. It is commonly used to display business names or logos onto apparel for uniform purposes.
Characteristics:
Suitable for daily wear
Work best on polo shirts, F1 uniforms, Caps, Towels and Outerwear.
Not suitable to do on lightweight garments such as microfiber jerseys material. It is often too “heavy” for it and you may notice “puckering” around the logo because the stitching creates tension.
Embroidery can leave a rough texture underneath, which will irritate the skin when moving around a lot
Effects & Designs
Have limitations in colour availability, as it relies on existing thread colours.
Not suitable for small, complex and detailed designs as it may appear “cramp up”
Unable to achieve gradient effect
Limited by design size, not able to do for very large designs

Require more care and maintenance during wash. Turn the clothing inside out to protect the design and avoid washing it together with any sharp objects that may snag the stitching.
Pricing:
Pricing generally more expensive compared to other print methods
Needs to open blocks for first time ordering. Will have an additional block charge for every logo / picture
