Embroidery — Omaha, NE

A stitched logo that outlasts the shirt.

Custom embroidery for polos, hats, jackets, and workwear — produced in-house on our Tajima machines in Omaha. Sharp thread detail, consistent color, and a look that holds up long after the first wash.

The Service

In-house Tajima embroidery machines. No outsourcing, no quality surprises.

Embroidery gives your brand a dimensional, premium look that screen printing can’t match on structured items. Thread holds color better than ink on hats and outerwear, and the raised texture communicates quality at a glance. We run our own Tajima machines, so we control every stitch from digitizing through delivery.

  • Low minimums — as few as 6 pieces on most items
  • Thread color matching to your brand standards
  • Digitizing included on new logo setups
  • Left chest, sleeve, back yoke, and hat placements
  • Works beautifully on structured and heavy-weight items

What We Embroider

Thread that looks great on any professional garment.

Embroidery works best on structured, woven, and medium-to-heavy fabrics. Here’s where it performs best.

Polos & Button-Downs

The most popular embroidery item. Left-chest logo placement looks clean and professional every time.

Hats & Caps

Structured and unstructured caps with front, side, or back placement. Flexfit, Richardson, and custom options available.

Jackets & Outerwear

Softshells, fleece pullovers, and quarter-zips. Embroidery on outerwear communicates quality and lasts for years.

Workwear & Uniforms

Service uniforms, safety shirts, and Carhartt-style workwear. Built for repeat washing and hard use.

Hoodies & Fleece

Embroidery on chest or sleeve of a quality hoodie is a premium look your team will actually wear.

Bags & Accessories

Backpacks, duffel bags, and tote bags where embroidery adds a premium touch that outlasts any print.

FAQ

Common questions about embroidery.

As few as 6 pieces on most items. Embroidery has lower setup costs than screen printing once the logo is digitized, so smaller quantities work well. Many businesses order a dozen polos or hats at a time to outfit a small team or management group. We’ll tell you upfront if your quantity changes the per-piece price significantly.

Digitizing is the process of converting your logo into a stitch file that our embroidery machines can read. It maps out every thread path, color change, and stitch type. We include digitizing on new logo setups — you won’t see a separate line item. Once your logo is digitized, we store the file and reuse it on future orders at no additional charge.

It depends on the design. Embroidery works best with clean lines, clear shapes, and limited small text. Very fine detail (thin lines, tiny fonts under 0.25 inches tall, photographic gradients) can be difficult to reproduce accurately in thread. If your logo has elements that won’t translate well, we’ll tell you before you commit — and we can often suggest a simplified version that still looks great.

Embroidery is more durable than virtually any print method. Thread doesn’t crack, fade, or peel the way ink can over time. Embroidered logos on polos and workwear regularly outlast the garment itself. It’s the right choice when you want the decoration to hold up through daily wear and commercial washing — especially on structured items like hats and outerwear.

Choose embroidery when you want a premium, dimensional look — especially on structured items like hats, polos, and jackets. Choose screen printing when you’re printing a large graphic, need many colors across a full surface area, or are doing high volume on soft items like t-shirts. Many clients use both: embroidered logos on their outerwear and screen-printed graphics on their event shirts. We can help you decide which method is right for each item in your order.
