Members of the Federation of Small Businesses For that special occasion we also supply printed ribbons from narrow to sash widths displaying a message of your choice.

Use only High Quality Products

Offer Free Digitising

All of our clothing is branded and include labels* such as 'Absolute Apparel', 'Dickies', 'Fruit of the Loom', 'Gildan', 'Kustom Kit', 'Jerzees', 'Regatta' and 'Result'.

On casual wear we use as standard a 100% rayon embroidery thread that is renowned for its lustre and shine. It can be washed at up to 95 degrees centigrade, dry cleaned and is light fast.

On work wear we generally use a 100% polyester embroidery thread that withstands bleaching and high wash temperatures.

* Brand names are used for identification purposes only and the rights of their owners are fully recognised.

Badge felt is 100% polyester and is machine washable up to 60 degrees centigrade. Badges or patches can be embroidered using either rayon or polyester thread depending on the application.

Graphics and text sized to fit on the left or right side of the chest are normally digitized free of charge. We do however reserve the right to make an additional charge for this service if:

	the custom embroidery design is likely to exceed 12,000 stitches or is complex.
	only single or small numbers of items are required.
	several different designs are being embroidered onto each item.

We will be pleased to provide estimates for digitising and set-up costs in such instances.

Give Value on Low Quantity Orders

For custom embroidered clothing our minimum order quantity is ONE, but please bear in mind that our prices do reflect the order level especially for non-stock items where we need to procure small quantities from our suppliers.

For custom embroidered patches or badges our minimum order quantity is also ONE. Digitising charges may apply to orders for less than 20 and an additional set-up charge, dependent on the stitch count, will be applied to one-offs.
