It Looks Premium Embroidery has a depth and texture that flat printing just can't replicate. Run your finger over an embroidered logo and you can feel the quality. Customers notice it too — even if they can't put their finger on exactly why your team looks more polished. It Lasts Unlike printing, which can crack, peel, or fade over time, embroidery is stitched directly into the fabric. It's there to stay. We've seen embroidered logos looking sharp after hundreds of washes. That's not an exaggeration — it genuinely is that durable. It's Versatile We can embroider logos, names, job titles, even small designs or icons. Common placements include left chest, right chest, sleeve, and back. Most designs up to about 15,000 stitches work beautifully — that covers everything from simple text to detailed company logos.

Custom Hi-Vis with Your Logo: Embroidery Options Explained

Sticking your logo on hi-vis is one of the quickest wins in business branding. It costs less than most people expect, outlasts printing, and makes your crew actually look like a crew. We’ve been doing this over 20 years and we still reckon branded workwear is one of the best-value moves a business can make.

The Case for Embroidered Hi-Vis

It Looks the Part

There’s a depth to embroidery that flat print can’t touch. Run your finger over a stitched logo and you can feel it. Your customers clock it as well, even if they couldn’t tell you exactly why your team suddenly looks more polished.

It Lasts

Print cracks. It peels. Given enough washes it fades. Embroidery doesn’t do any of that, because the logo is stitched straight into the fabric. It’s there to stay. We’ve had embroidered logos still looking sharp after hundreds of washes, and that’s no exaggeration. It genuinely holds.

It Handles Nearly Anything

Logos, names, job titles, small icons, we can stitch the lot. Usual spots are left chest, right chest, sleeve, and back. Most designs up to roughly 15,000 stitches come out great. That covers simple text right through to a detailed company logo.

Should You Embroider or Print?

Both earn their keep. Embroidery wins on durability and premium feel, so it’s our first pick for Hi-Vis with a chest logo. Printing is better for big designs, full-colour artwork, or hi-vis where embroidery isn’t practical. On the fence? Give us a shout and we’ll tell you straight which way to go.

Embroidery Questions Answered

Can you embroider names as well as logos?

Yes. Individual names, job titles, department names, whatever you need. And we can pair your logo with personalised text on the same garment.

Can any colour be embroidered?

We carry a huge range of thread colours and can match most brand colours closely. You’ll see the colour match in your free proof before we go any further.

Will embroidery damage the fabric?

No. Our machines are set up for each fabric type, and we back the stitching to support it. The garment ends up looking and feeling exactly as it should.
