Do you offer volume discounts?

Definitely. The more you order, the lower your per-piece cost. We offer custom pricing for bulk orders, schools, and corporate clients.

What file formats do you accept for artwork?

We prefer vector files like AI, EPS, or SVG, but we can also work with high-res PNGs and JPEGs. If needed, we’ll help convert them.

What shirt brands do you use?

We use quality brands like Gildan, Bella+Canvas, Next Level, and Port & Company. You can also request specific styles or bring your own.

Can you handle detailed logos or small text in embroidery?

Yes — our embroidery machines are capable of high precision. If something won’t stitch clearly, we’ll suggest simple tweaks first.

Do you work with nonprofits, churches, or schools?

Absolutely. We regularly serve schools, churches, fundraisers, and community groups. We offer discounted pricing for qualifying orders.

We require a 24-piece minimum for both screen printing and embroidery orders. This keeps things cost-effective and production-friendly.

Standard turnaround is 5-8 business days after artwork approval. We also offer rush service and same-day printing on select products.

Do you deliver orders in Houston?

Can I bring my own items to print or embroider on?

Yes, we accept customer-supplied apparel as long as it’s new and unwashed. Let us check the materials before confirming the job.

Best Fabrics for Embroidery on Heavy-Duty Workwear

July 16, 2025

Twill & Canvas for Long-Lasting Durability

Twill and canvas are woven tightly to resist tears and abrasions. These fabrics hold embroidery securely and maintain structure even after repeated washes on job sites or in work trucks.

Poly-Cotton Ripston Blends Resist Wear

Ripstop or poly-cotton blends resist snags and fading. Combined with dense embroidery, these materials offer both comfort and long-term resilience—perfect for construction, manufacturing, or field uniforms.

Reinforced Stitching Ensures Longevity

We add bartack stitching and durable backings when embroidering heavy-duty fabrics. This hybrid approach ensures your uniform logos last as long as the garment—through every shift and weekly wash.
