Minimums and pricing
We do not set a hard minimum. One piece is fine. That said, the economics work out better at volume, so here is an honest breakdown of how pricing scales:
| Quantity | Digitising | Per-garment embroidery | Notes |
|---|
| 1 piece | One-time fee (reusable) | Higher per-unit cost | Good for testing before a bulk order |
| 6–11 pieces | Already paid if same logo | Volume discount begins | Typical small crew run |
| 12–24 pieces | Included in bundle pricing | Mid-volume rate | Most popular range for small businesses |
| 25+ pieces | Included | Best per-garment rate | Full crew, seasonal restock |
Garment cost is separate from embroidery cost. We source from stock-held wholesale accounts so garment pricing is competitive. The final quote you receive covers both the blank garment and the stitching.
Turnaround time
Standard turnaround from artwork approval to shipped order is 7 to 10 business days. If you have a hard deadline (a job start date, a team event, a product launch) tell us upfront. We can often accommodate rush orders for an additional fee, and we will always be straight with you if the date is not achievable.
The biggest variable is artwork. A clean vector logo we can digitise in a day. A complex multi-color illustration or a low-resolution jpeg that needs reconstruction takes longer. Sending us the best artwork you have, as early as possible, is the single best thing you can do to keep turnaround short.
Why embroidery outlasts screen print
Screen print applies ink or plastisol to the surface of the fabric. Over time, particularly with commercial washing, hot tumble drying and the abrasion of physical work. That layer cracks, fades and peels. Embroidery is structurally different: thread goes through the fabric and becomes part of it. The stitches are not sitting on top of the garment; they are woven into it at the stitch point.
A well-embroidered logo on a quality polo shirt can survive 200 to 300 wash cycles with no visible degradation. For workwear that goes into the wash daily, the durability difference over a season is meaningful. The garment often wears out before the embroidery does.
