Embroidery Tips
Creating your own artwork? Need to name your file? Instead of giving your artwork file a general name such as "logo", "shirts" or "final" call it a specific name such as "Cape Atlantic Cleaning logo" so it can be easily identified.
Unsure what thread color(s) to use for your embroidered logo? Request embroidered samples using different colors. This is an especially helpful if you have PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors for your logo so you'll get the best color match!

Embroidered Logo: Get The Right Colors!
How do you get the correct thread colors in your custom embroidered logo? The colors may look right in the digital proof your embroiderer emailed but colors can vary according to your monitor settings. You can request an embroidered sample but sometimes you can't afford the additional time delay. What can you do? As soon as you choose an embroiderer, send a color sample of your logo such as a business card or brochure so your embroiderer can match the thread colors in your logo to your color sample.
When considering minor shade differences, what if matching the exact shades isn't as important as having thread colors that look good (contrast well) against the shirt color? Let your embroiderer pick the best thread shade for each color!

Embroidered Logo Check
We receive lots of logos from customers. Most of them are well-designed and represent the business accurately but occasionally I view a logo and wonder what type of business it represents.
Does your custom embroidered logo work for your business? Does it help brand your corporate image or does it make people wonder what your business is about?
Your logo should:
1. Be clearly readable
2. Convey the type of business
3. Give your approach to business (tag line)
4. Be unique
5. Be memorable
6. Translate into a variety of mediums such as letterhead, business cards, embroidery and print advertising.
If your logo doesn’t satisfy these requirements its time to update your logo!

Embroidery Questions Answered
Embroidery Questions Answered
Here are answers to some of the most common embroidery questions that I’ve received:
Q: “Can I change the colors in my artwork?”
A: Yes, you can change your colors. When an embroidery design is set-up it has different areas that a thread color can be assigned to.
Q: “Do the number of colors in a design effect the price?”
A: No, unlike screen printing the number of colors in an embroidered design don’t effect the price unless there is an excessive number (more than 15 colors).
Q: “What size is a left chest logo?”
A: Most left chest custom embroidered logos, otherwise know as “heart” logos, are 3.5” to 4” wide or tall depending on the orientation and the detail in the design.

Understanding Fonts
Need a particular font for your custom embroidered logo? No problem – it can be digitized. What is digitizing? Digitizing is the process of translating a true type font into stitch format so it can be embroidered. But, there may be a digitizing fee depending on how many items you order. Want to avoid this cost? Ask your embroiderer to show you their stock fonts and you might find something close that will work just fine and you’ll be able to avoid a digitizing fee.

Your Logo: Should You Always Use the Same Colors?
Sometimes customers ask if it’s okay to change the colors in their custom embroidered logo. They’d like to change the color of their Custom Embroidered Corporate Apparel shirts because they’re tired of wearing the same colored shirt; but, their logo won’t show up well against the shirt color they want to wear. If you switch to a different colored shirt then your logo might be noticed more because it has a new look. But, are you sacrificing the branded imaged that you’ve worked so hard to establish?
