Your Embroidered Logo: Checking Your Proof

You've just received your digital embroidery proof. It seems okay but its hard to visualize how it will look embroidered on a shirt. How can you tell if it will look good?

Background -  Is the background color the same color as the shirts you ordered? If not, your logo might look completely different so you should request to see a proof against the "shirt" background.

Size - You should know the actual measurements of the design rather than judging it by how it looks on your computer screen. How can you check the size if you can't print the proof at the correct size? Cut a piece of paper to the right dimensions, tape it to a shirt in the proper location, stand three feet away and visualize your logo.

Fabric Type - A logo can look very different depending on the type of fabric its embroidered on. Elements such as small text can be clearly readable on some fabrics while unreadable on others.  If you're uncertain how your design will look its best to request an embroidered sample shirt so you can see exactly how your design will appear.

Your Embroidered Logo: Small Changes - BIG IMPACT!

Need a Logo Update?

You can easily update your business logo without making major changes. Use bright colors embroidered on a shirt color that's different from what you usually wear.  Remove unnecessary details and enlarge your business name. Having caps embroidered? Simplify your logo so you have a small bold design and have it embroidered on one of the front panels of a baseball hat.


Be Seen At Trade Shows!

Want to be noticed at your next trade show? Wear a shirt in a bold color and have it embroidered in a sharply contrasting color. Consider having a second embroidery placement on a sleeve or upper back shoulder to gain additional exposure.

Your Embroidered Logo: Questions Answered

If an embroidered design has a high density does that mean its a high-quality design?

No. Embroidery density is often too high. This causes designs to be "bullet-proof". A quality embroidered design has the proper density that covers the fabric without creating holes or wrinkles.



When you pay for artwork should you receive a copy of your artwork?

Yes. Make sure you receive copies of your artwork including copies in file formats you can't open. Don't depend on the artist to keep your artwork for you.



Can you achieve a custom branded look without a large financial investment?

Yes. If you just need a few shirts for a small group and your logo is fairly simple consider picking 2-3 shirt colors and using these colors for your logo colors. For example, choose red, white and blue shirts and have your logo embroidered in the two colors that contrast with each shirt color so the white shirts have a red and blue logo, the red shirts have a blue and white logo and the blue shirts have and red and white logo.

Your Embroidered Logo: Maximize Logo Exposure!

Make a Statement With Hats - Simplify your logo so its no more than 2" high x 2.5" wide and have it centered on a front panel instead of the center seam. Simple, bold logos work best for embroidery!


Maximize Logo Exposure - Have your business logo embroidered on the left chest and the back shoulder when having jackets embroidered. Clear, distinct logos work best.


Try Tone-On-Tone colors - Try a tone-on-tone embroidered logo (logo embroidered in a thread color that's slightly different than the garment color) for a subtle, rich look on embroidered button down shirts.


Love Dip-Dye -  Try dip-dyed beanies and have your logo embroidered in a contrasting dip-dye shade for a cool look!
