We love our customers and that’s why we go the extra mile for you! Looking to get your logo embroidered on polos, hoodies or hats?

Types of Custom Embroidery
Embroidery Styles
Every logo stitches out differently. These are the embroidery styles we run most — from clean flat stitching to raised 3D puff — and we'll tell you which one suits your artwork before anything goes into production.
Logo Embroidery
Embroider your logo onto polos, hats, and various other items — adding an air of professionalism and polish to your company uniforms. Send us your design and our art team will analyze it to make sure it will stitch out properly.
Single Color & Multicolor
Whether you want the simplicity of a single color design or the added detail of multiple colors — you can go up to 10 thread colors in one design.
Flat Embroidery
Composed of satin stitch, running stitch, and fill stitch patterns. Flat is the most common style of stitching we use and works great across all items: hats, beanies, polos, jackets, and bags.
3D Embroidery
3D embroidery uses a foam backing below the stitching to raise it up and give a puff effect. You can combine flat and puff to make certain parts of your artwork pop.
Side Personalization Options
Add another location — like the side of your trucker hat. This added personalization helps set your team and business apart from the rest.
Woven Label Customization
Go the extra distance for a more custom finish by adding a woven label inside your hat or hoodie.

How the Embroidery Process Works
How It Works
The digitizing process takes your artwork and converts it into digital files so we can produce an exceptional end product without any errors along the way! You'll receive digital mockups for approval before we go into production with your design.
1. Overview page of mockup showing design placement.
2. Digital proof showing size and Pantone colors of thread.
3. Picking the right thread to match the Pantone colors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about custom embroidery, from thread types to turnaround.
How long does custom embroidery take?
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days from artwork approval. If you’re working against a deadline, tell us up front — we regularly help customers hit event dates and can walk you through rush options.
What type of thread do you use?
Rayon and polyester are the two workhorses — rayon for its sheen, polyester for its durability and colorfastness. We’ll recommend the right thread for your design and the product it’s going on, and we Pantone-match thread colors to your artwork during digitizing.
How long does embroidery last?
Embroidery is the most durable decoration method there is — a properly stitched design will typically outlast the garment it’s on. Thread doesn’t crack, peel, or fade the way prints can, which is why embroidery is the standard for uniforms and everyday hats.
Does the size of my logo affect the price?
Yes — the bigger and denser your design, the higher the stitch count, and stitch count is the biggest factor in embroidery pricing. If budget matters, ask us to mock up a lower-stitch-count version of your logo; we can usually trim the price without losing the look.
What's the best size for custom embroidery?
Four to five inches wide is the sweet spot for most placements, especially polos and standard hat fronts. Going bigger for a jacket back or smaller for a dad hat? Just tell us — we’ll size the design to the placement and show you a mockup before stitching.
What's the difference between flat and 3D puff embroidery?
Flat embroidery stitches directly onto the fabric for a clean, classic look that works on nearly anything. 3D puff adds a foam layer under the stitches to raise the design off the hat for a bold, dimensional effect. You can also combine them — flat for fine detail, puff for the parts you want to pop.
Should I get direct embroidery or an embroidered patch?
Direct embroidery stitches your logo straight into the product — clean and permanent. An embroidered patch gives you a defined emblem look and works across products that are hard to hoop. Both wear extremely well; it mostly comes down to the style you want. See our custom patches for the patch side of the decision.
What's the minimum order for custom embroidery?
Orders start as low as 24 pieces per design. Minimums can vary slightly by product, so if you’re close to that number, reach out — we’ll find a way to make it work.

Hear first-hand from our incredible community of customers.
I have had countless orders with Consolidated over the last 10+ years. Hats, hoodies, shirts, embroidery... the attention to detail is something I never have to question, and my recent order of 144 t-shirts was no different. I didnt even need to check the print before I put the order in the back of the truck. Thank you guys.
Consolidated Ink was such a pleasure to work with! Professional, punctual and extremely communicative. Not only was all the design and printing Perfect, but the materials they recommended were great quality. I have already placed a full re-order with them. Highly recommend using Consolidated Ink.
Could not be happier. Needed a small quantity of T-shirts for an important public event -- and fast! Not only was the whole job turned around on a dime, but the result was terrific -- and they actually improved the main graphic, generating a higher resolution version. Never going anywhere else.
We used consolidated ink to curate our swag for the local little league… our merch is the talk of the town and sought out by many! Coolest hats and softest t-shirts around. We even had a tight deadline and they came through for us!
The team at Consolidated Ink did such a great job. They turned around merchandise for us in such a fast manner - even got great delivery and complete quality were so thrilled with results thank you thank you
Would highly recommend anyone work w Consolidated Ink - incredibly detailed, professional & reasonably priced. Pat was able to source exactly what I needed and got the job done within days of placing the order. 5 stars!
