Embroidery Design
When your business has been operating for a number of years, ordering supplies such as work uniforms is simple. For first time buyers, on the other hand, the first few boxes of printed or embroidered clothes are daunting. After all you haven’t been having your logo and company name printed here, there and everywhere. Here are a few hints on how to make sure that your first order of embroidered polo shirts goes swimmingly and you don’t end up having to send them back.
Initially you should try and simplify your embroidery design as much as possible.It’s a good idea to call or meet with the embroidering company so that they can tell you whether your design will work well when it’s embroidered.Contrasting colours that don’t clash are always a great idea, such as black font on a red polo shirt or white thread on black.Remember that your customers or audience aren’t looking for a piece of art, they’re looking for an image or word that shows you work for or are part of a certain organisation, so keep it simple.Your design should also be making your customers or audience sit up and take notice, too.Company logos and slogans do well when they have a plain, edged border with bold shades of thread and font that is very easy to read.
Secondly, you’ll want to work out exactly where upon the polo shirts the embroidery will go.If you want to make an impact then why not try having the embroidery carried out in an unconventional area such as on the back (where customers can see promotions even when the employees back is turned).Yours could be the company that breaks the mould, although depending on how traditional your customers are, it may not go down too well.Don’t forget to match up the embroidered polo shirt design with your other corporate clothing garments, too. Using the same sizes and thread shades looks much nicer than not.This is mainly because you want all of your garments to look the same and each of your employees to look the same, regardless of what clothing combination they wear.
Having just one design embroidered onto your polo shirts can leave your employees indistinguishable. Why not have some batches of different logos applied, too? You could make each one a variation of the original; for instance green thread on a black t shirt for men and white thread for women.Your employees will really appreciate it if you ditch the name or department badges and instead embroider the information onto their shirts, so the badges don’t get constantly misplaced or tear holes in their clothing.
Hopefully some of these tips will help you to steer clear of ordering boxes full of wrong or inadequate embroidered polo shirts.After all, once they’ve been processed there is little going back.If you’re 100% positive that you have your design, fonts and colour schemes just right then go ahead, but make sure you do some market research beforehand.Each of these ideas and tips should keep you on track to getting the perfect corporate embroidered polo shirt delivery, just as long as you don’t forget to follow any of them!
