Your Embroidered Logo: Order Samples?

Trying out a new embroiderer? Concerned about the quality of your embroidered logo? Unsure if you like a particular shirt style? Want to checkout the sizing of a style?

Ordering custom embroidered pocket polo shirts can be difficult. The quality of the shirts and embroidery along with the service, turnaround time and cost must meet your needs. If you start by ordering a sample you can avoid problems and feel confident when placing your order. But, you'll need extra time to receive your sample and you may pay additional embroidery and shipping fees.

Let's say you decide to order a sample. You'll need to decide if you want a blank sample shirt, an  embroidered swatch or an embroidered shirt. A blank sample shirt (or shirts in different sizes) will allow you to check the style, color and sizing. If you need to determine sizing for a group you may want to order a shirt in every size or possibly every other size.

If you're familiar with the shirt style but want to check the quality of your embroidered logo then an embroidered swatch may be sufficient. Many embroiderers offer this service for free or for a small fee so this may be your cheapest option. But, if you need to see exactly how your embroidered logo looks on a shirt then ordering an embroidered shirt is your best option!
