Right Care for the Best Impression

Giving your embroidered shirts a bit of extra care will help keep your shirts looking great! Before washing, turn embroidered garments inside out and wash with like colors. Avoid hot water and a hot dryer. Don’t leave wet garments in a pile before drying. For best results, dry clean dress shirts such as oxfords. With a little extra care, your custom embroidery will look sharp and you'll make a knockout first impression!

Custom or Stock?

When speaking with customers at Sun Embroidery Screen Printing occasionally someone will ask for a quick custom embroidered design for a gift. They’ll mention that they need a certain type of tree, boat or object that is representative of a special occasion, event or hobby in the gift receiver’s life. I usually suggest that they use a stock embroidery design with their choice of thread colors and personalized text. This solution works for most people. Although you may not get quite what you pictured, this is a quick, cost effective way to customize an embroidered shirt, bag or other item.

Tips for Tanks

If you need to coordinate men’s and ladies tanks, manufacturers such as Anvil and Gildan offer women’s tanks that coordinate with men’s styles although you are limited to a few basic colors.

The “Hanes for Her” line offers tank tops in three different cuts: fitted, classic and relaxed fit. This line is great for getting the best fit when buying for a group of women that vary in size and shape. Not every color is available in each style but there is a range of pretty shades.

Get the Skinny About Tank Tops!

Custom embroidered or screen printed tank tops will keep your group cool in the summer but choosing the right style can be a challenge. Okay, men are easy but choosing the correct size and style for a group of women can be difficult.

Tank top styles for women run the gamut from tight-fittings styles that work best for teens to relaxed styles that are comfortable and flattering for older women. Junior /teen styles often contain spandex or are constructed from a ribbed knit fabric. These styles usually have thinner straps and are shorter in length so if showing “tummy” or becoming untucked is an issue, you may want to choose another style.

Add PUNCH to Your Logo!

If you pick a polo shirt style with an accent trim color that is in your embroidered logo, you can create a really sharp looking custom embroidered shirt. For example, if your business name is embroidered in black thread, choose a shirt with a black trim detail in the collar. This added color will reinforce your logo and you’ll have a great looking shirt. My personal preference is to pick a shirt style that has the trim color in just the collar. Some styles have trim on the packet and/or sleeve and IMO that can be too busy & actually detract from your business logo. Shirts with contrasting trim are usually a bit more expensive but the extra cost is worth it!
