The timeless quality way to brand
Embroidery
The full range — standard embroidery, 3D puff, felt and sublimated appliqués, and patches. Embroidery embellishes a garment with a quality other branding methods cannot match.
We started out as an embroidery company, and more than twenty years on it is still the thing we are best known for.
Our team brings together over 80 years of combined experience. Paired with our system — art handled in house, stock booked in and checked before anything is branded — that is what produces a consistent result on a reliable turnaround, job after job.
From a straightforward left-chest logo to multi-layer appliqué and 3D puff, we can embroider every garment style, including caps, bags and accessories. If you are not sure which approach suits a design, ask us: choosing between the branding options, and combining them well, is the part we enjoy most.
Tees, polos, knitwear, jackets, workwear, caps, bags and accessories — flat-bed and cap-frame machines in house.
Raised 3D puff, felt, fleece and sublimated appliqué, vintage badge finishes, and satin-edge detail.
Polyneon and Classic Rayon exclusively, chosen to suit what is being embroidered. We PMS-match from our own tested chart.
Every logo is redrawn and digitised by our team — that is where a good embroidery starts, so we do not farm it out.
One piece or a thousand. Small runs are not a problem and never carry a penalty.
Embroidery combined with transfers or print on the same garment, when one method alone will not do the design justice.

What embroidery thread do you use?
We use Madeira threads exclusively — Polyneon and Classic Rayon, depending on what we are embroidering.
Can you PMS colour match threads?
Yes. We work from a chart of matches we have tested ourselves, and they are good. Where a colour sits between two threads we will tell you which two and let you choose.
What if I do not have good art?
Not a problem — we redraw every logo for embroidery regardless of the art supplied, because the stitch file has to be built from scratch either way. Tell us what you have and we will take it from there.
What are your minimums?
We have none.
What is your normal turnaround?
Most jobs take five working days from approval. Jobs running several processes can take longer. If you need something sooner, ask — we will accommodate it where we can.
