Embroidery for small logos and lettering

Embroidery adds texture and works well for smaller chest logos, names and short wording on mascot costumes or doll outfits. Avoid overly fine lines and very small text, and confirm the final placement and size before production.

Screen print and heat transfer

Clear colour blocks and larger artwork are often assessed for screen print. Multi-colour or detailed designs may suit heat transfer depending on the material and artwork. The right method also depends on product use, cleaning needs and budget.

Supply usable source artwork

Provide a clear vector file or high-resolution original, with intended colours, placement and dimensions. Approving a production proof helps ensure the logo and wording match the intended result.
