Embroidered logo at ADM: guiding you through the process
If you are unsure of whether to choose embroidery for your garments, then this page is for you. We will discuss what embroidery is, the limitations, our pricing structure, and how you can order your customised garments with ADM today.
Embroidery is the process of customisation being stitched into garments using an embroidery machine. It is one of the most common ways to elevate your clothing, having been around for thousands of years to add logos, names, and initials onto garments. Here at ADM, we use industrial Barudan embroidery machines, that are operated by our experienced members of staff. As well, as experience, we use the most recent digitising software to set up your logo, and complete thorough quality checks, to ensure that we are supplying our customers with top-notch customisation, troubleshooting any problems as they arise.
How much is an embroidered logo?
The below list outlines the different types of embroidery that we can offer, as well as their prices. Please note that these prices must be used as a guideline, depending on how complex your logo is/how many stitches will be required, final prices may differ at the quotation stage. If you are unsure or would like a full quotation, contact our sales team.
- Embroidered logo (breast or sleeve positioning) = £4.00
- Large embroidered logo* = £7.50
- Embroidered text = £4.00
- Names and Initials = £3.50
*We use this for certain customisation, where print is not suitable. For example, a printed logo will not take well on fleecy items of clothing, therefore embroidery is the chosen method.
Any new logos that ADM have not used before will incur a £25 set up charge fee (per logo). This fee allows us to convert your logo to a .dst file, the format our embroidery machines use to read the stitches, to set this up on the machines. After the initial fee, we will keep this version of the embroidered logo on file for any future orders that you may place with us.
Due to the use of large, industrial machinery, we have MOQ’s of 6 items for new orders.
Which file format should I send?
The file format required for the embroidery machine to read your logo is a .dst file. However, as part of the embroidery set up fee, ADM will convert your logo into the required format. All you need to provide is a high quality .pdf or .png file of your logo, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
Are there any limitations?
Some complex designs may be a little tricky to recreate on our machinery – e.g. gradients and 3D designs. If this is the case, we suggest that a simplified version of the logo is sent over, or you can switch to a printed version. Information for printed logos can be found here.
Any text less than 5mm in height, cannot be embroidered either. This is due to the size, making it unreadable once stitched onto garments.
We are unable to recreate copyrighted logos, without permission from the creator.
I would like to see a sample of my logo – how can I request this?
If you would like to see a sample of embroidery before production, please let us know when you are placing your order. Alternatively, you can send the request via email as soon as the order has been placed, but please make sure to state your order number to avoid any delay in communication. Your order number will be a 6 digit number  found on your order confirmation email.
Once your logo has been set up, we will embroider your logo onto a piece of material similar to the garments that you ordered. Once this has been done, an image will be emailed over to you asking for your approval or if you have any alterations that you would like to be made. Production will only go ahead once you have approved the sample. No more alterations can be made once your order has gone into production, so please make sure that you check the sample image carefully.
I don’t have the suitable file format to send over, what can I do?
If you cannot provide your logo in the .pdf or .png format, then ADM can redraw the logo for a price. We charge £25 for this service.
I have purchased garments elsewhere, can you still embroider them?
Yes, we can, however prices and MOQ’s will differ from the ones stated above. If you would like a price for just embroidery, please send us an email stating the type of garments you have, the location of the embroidery, the quantities, and an image of the logo itself. One of our staff members will get back to you with a quotation.
