Contract embroidery for the trade

We quote on contract work for businesses that sell branded clothing but prefer to outsource the stitching:

• Promotional and corporate gifting companies needing logos on golf shirts, caps and jackets
• Uniform and workwear suppliers with embroidery included in their tenders
• Clothing labels and designers adding small logos, chest marks or labels to their ranges
• Print shops whose clients ask for embroidery alongside printed items
• Schools and club shops restocking badges and crests on school wear

Ask us about overflow work when your own production is full, too.

1. Brief: send the garment list, logo, positions and your deadline
2. Quote: we confirm digitising needs, timing and packing in writing
3. Proof: you, or your client via you, approve the stitch proof
4. Drop-off: garments arrive counted and sorted by size and colour
5. Production: we stitch, trim, check and re-count
6. Packing: items packed plain, by size or by order, ready for you to deliver

Clear communication is the whole job: one contact person on your side, written approvals and agreed counts protect everyone.

Trade work is handled discreetly. We can pack orders without our branding and communicate only with you, never with your end customer, unless you ask us to. Proofs can be supplied in a plain format so you can forward them under your own name.

Approved stitch files are kept on record against your account, so repeat orders for the same end client are faster and consistent. If you supply stitch files from another digitiser, we check and tidy them where needed; see digitising and artwork setup.

Most trade clients supply their own stock, so please follow the checks on our customer-supplied garments page: count, sort and include spares for unfamiliar fabrics. We can also quote on sourcing garments for you.

Every piece is checked for registration, thread tension, loose threads and backing removal before packing. Any item with a fabric fault spotted on arrival is flagged to you before stitching, not after.

Trade timelines are agreed per job and confirmed on the quote. Rush and same-day slots may be available on qualifying orders, subject to approved artwork, garments on hand, payment terms and production capacity. Give us forecasts for large seasonal runs, such as back-to-school or year-end gifting, and we can plan capacity around them. Collection is from Rivonia; delivery is quoted per job.
