Why Canberra embroiders with us
Stitched here, on our own machines.
8 embroidery machines in our Fyshwick facility, running since 2015. Nothing is sent away.
Digitised once, ready for every reorder.
We turn your logo into the stitch file ourselves, and keep it - so the next order runs from the same file.
Made to last.
Your logo is stitched into the fabric itself, so it stands up to hard wear and the wash for the life of the garment.
7–10 business days.
Standard, from artwork approval. Priority is 5–7 business days. Every date is confirmed before you commit.

Embroidery we've done lately
Every one of these was stitched on our machines in Fyshwick, for a business, venue or club.
From your logo to thread.
An embroidery machine can't use your normal artwork file. First the design is turned into a stitch file - digitising - which tells the machine where every stitch goes, which way it runs, which colours are used and in what order.
Artwork designed on a screen has to work as physical thread. Fine details need room to stay clear, and bigger areas are built differently from small lettering. Where it's needed, we strengthen fine elements or suggest a size that keeps your logo looking like your logo.
Once your logo is digitised, we keep the file for every reorder.
What we embroider
Embroidery suits garments with enough structure to hold the stitching. Not sure about yours? Tell us what it is and we'll let you know.
Polos
The classic embroidery application for uniforms, corporate clothing and team wear.
Workwear
Work shirts, jackets and vests give a strong base for a logo, and suit how hard-wearing it is.
Jackets & softshells
Many softshells, fleece garments, vests and jackets can be embroidered.
Caps & beanies
Particularly well suited to embroidery, including raised 3D puff.
Hoodies & crews
Embroidery works well across heavier cotton and fleece garments.
Tees
A smaller chest logo can work well, with a little more care on the lighter fabric.
Embroidery or print?
They're different finishes, and we do both in the same building. We'll recommend the one that suits your artwork and garment.
Embroidery
Texture and dimension, and it lasts. Best for logos on uniforms, workwear, jackets and headwear.
DTF printing
Photographs, gradients and very fine full-colour artwork that isn't suited to thread, and large back prints.
Embroidery questions
How long does embroidery take?
Standard is 7–10 business days and priority 5–7 business days, from artwork approval rather than from when the order is placed. If you are working to a deadline, tell us early and we'll tell you straight away whether it's achievable.
Do I need an embroidery file?
No. Send us your normal artwork and we create the embroidery file needed for production. That's called digitising, and it decides how each part of your logo is built in thread.
Do I pay for digitising every time?
No. Once an embroidery file has been created for a particular logo and size, we keep it for future orders. A substantially different size or application may need another file.
What artwork should I send?
Vector artwork such as AI, EPS, SVG or a suitable PDF is preferred, but clear PNG and JPEG files can also be used. Send the best artwork you have and we'll work from there.
Can you match my brand colours?
We select the closest appropriate thread colour from the available thread range. Because embroidery uses physical thread rather than mixed ink, an exact printed or Pantone colour may not always have an identical thread equivalent.
Can you embroider caps?
Yes. Caps are particularly well suited to embroidery and can also take 3D puff embroidery, which raises bold lettering and simple shapes off the cap.
Can you embroider polos, jackets and workwear?
Yes - they're what embroidery suits best. Polos, work shirts, jackets, softshells, fleece and vests all give the stitching a strong base. The construction, lining and pockets are checked against the position before production.
Can you embroider T-shirts?
Yes. Smaller embroidery can work well on T-shirts, although their lighter fabric needs more consideration than heavier garments such as polos and jackets.
How small can embroidered text be?
It depends on the font and design. Bold, open lettering can be embroidered smaller than fine lettering with narrow strokes and tight spaces. We assess it at the intended embroidery size.
How much does embroidery cost?
Every job is quoted, because the garment, the quantity, the size of the logo and how many places it goes all change the price. Send the form with what you know and we'll come back with a quote.
Where are you?
2/137 Canberra Avenue, Fyshwick ACT 2609. Collect from the warehouse, or we deliver anywhere in Australia. Warehouse is for deliveries and collections only. Showroom by appointment.
Can I see samples first?
Yes. Our showroom in Fyshwick is open by appointment, so you can see the garments and the embroidery before you order.
