Logo Embroidery

A number of companies are going in for logo embroidery on clothing for their staff and clients both. Logos are being embroidered on caps, t-shirts, sweat shirts, jackets and bags for distribution. Educational institutions also form a regular clientele for logo embroiderers, since most college classes go for getting their own special jerseys made. Conferences and seminars also provide a great opportunity for people to distribute logo-ed merchandise as memoirs and gifts. In case you are thinking of getting your logo embroidered on apparel or accessories, then given below are some tips that will help you cut down the cost of embroidery:
• The most common sizes for left chest logo embroidery are 1.5” to 2” per side for a square logo or 2”-2.5” inches in diameter for a circular logo. The width is 3” to 3.5” for logos that are rectangular in shape. Logos for caps are generally 2.25” in height and 4” in width maximum. For visors, they shouldn’t be more that 1” to1.25” in height and more than 4” in width. Full logos, like those on the back of a jersey should not exceed more than 11” by 11” in area. If you choose to get a logo embroidered within these regular size ranges, then the cost would be lesser than if you want your logo embroidered a custom size. Ask your logo embroidered about his regular sizes and try to fit your logo into one of the regular sizes that he does.
• Try to use minimum colors when getting your logo embroidered. By this, I do not mean that you should change the colors of your company’s logo, but that you might use a background color that eliminates the need for adding one more colors to your embroidery. Many embroiderers increase the cost of your logo as the number of colors used increases. This is especially true in the case of heat transfer logos.
• All kinds of embroidery are charged based on the number of stitches used for the design, and logo embroidery is no exception. You can easily save a couple or more dollars by getting your embroiderer to reduce the number of stitches a little. In most cases, the reduction of 5% to 10% stitches do not make a huge difference to how the embroidery looks, but if your embroidery has even ten to fifteen thousand stitches, then it would make a considerable difference to the amount that you have to pay.
