Decoration Garment
Decorating your garments
We often get a lot of questions about how to decorate, what’s best and here we have a few answers. It can depend on a budget, and what garments are being worn as well as logos and design for your project. We are always happy to discuss and share our recommendations just drop us a message.
For either Print or Embroidery options, your logo will need to be in the correct format for the decoration being used. If you don’t already have these in the right format, we can get them digitalise for you as a set cost of £15 per logo, or per decoration method. If you unsure just send us your best high vector graphic, or for embroidery you are unlikely to have the stitch file but send us your logo and we can advise further.
We have 3 main methods of garment decoration, and we often use a mixture of them on your garments and accessories depending on what you need.
