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.

Do you offer help with artwork or designs?

Yes! We can provide design support, including logo cleanup, placement suggestions, and digital mockups before production begins.

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.

Should You Embroider the Left Chest or Sleeve?

July 16, 2025

Left Chest: Classic & Visible

This placement is traditional and easily seen during interactions—ideal for company polos and client-facing gear. It aligns with name badges and gives a balanced, professional look.

Sleeve: Subtle & Space-Saving

Sleeve embroidery works for secondary branding, such as department names or small logos. It lets chest space remain clean—perfect for crew wear or layered garments.

Combining Both with Purpose

Using both left-chest and sleeve embroidery adds depth without clutter—front logo on chest, role title or event name on the sleeve. Just keep stitch densities similar to maintain quality and comfort.

Still undecided? We’ll help place your logo for polished and functional results.
