Embroidery Singapore
In recent years, t-shirt embroidery has brought a new level of personalisation for individuals and corporations wanting a premium aesthetic for their designs. Gone are the days of delicately sewing coloured threads onto clothing by hand for hours on end.
With computerised embroidery, precise threading is done accurately and efficiently — giving you the assurance that your t-shirts and apparel are stitched with the most durable threads, for the professional look and feel you desire. And because embroidery is fundamentally intricate needlework on fabric, it works well beyond t-shirts, across a wider range of apparel.
Perfect for customised corporate apparel
Planning a special design for a company event, or adding your corporate logo to a team's cap or windbreaker? Embroidery is a great way to achieve your desired effect. Here's why.
Premium quality
Embroidery gives a professional, classy look that's difficult to achieve with other forms of t-shirt printing.
Multiple colours, no extra cost
Embroider multiple colours at no additional cost — they're simply different coloured threads.
Long-lasting durability
The thread and yarn are made to withstand heat and the colours don't fade easily, so embroidered designs are long-lasting.
Popular materials our customers love
Whether you're sourcing a cohesive company tee or looking to put your logo on your products, embroidery works for a wide range of purposes. Most customers imprint a company logo, a slogan, an icon or personalised names — and we can help with any of the materials here.
The stitches in every embroidery
The procedure to embroider your t-shirt or apparel is fairly straightforward. Here's how we bring your design to life, stitch by stitch.
Review your design
We review your logo and design to tidy up any irregularities in the lines and shapes.
Digitise the design
We digitise your design into an embroidery file that plots the stitch movement for the machine. Our digitiser decides the most suitable colours, stitch types and stitching angles.
Create a sample
We create a sample to make sure the intended design is achieved — checking the stitch type against your fabric, the thread colours, small text and graphic components, and the overall look of the apparel.
Frame the material
Once the sample is approved, each item is firmly framed onto the machine as sturdy support, holding the material in place to prevent misalignment during embroidery.
Embroider
The embroidery machine gets to work, using thousands of needles and coloured threads to imprint your design onto the material.
Limitations to take note of
The premium finish is something to boast about, but a few limitations may make other forms of custom t-shirt printing more suitable. Here are the common ones.
Cost
Embroidery can be more expensive than silkscreen printing.
Complexity
Gradient colours and abstract designs cannot be accomplished with embroidery.
Size
Because of the higher set-up costs involved, embroidering large designs brings the cost up steeply.
A rich, ancient history behind every design
Despite the higher price point, there's a wealth of history behind embroidery's premium rates. It's an ancient art that has been around from as early as the 5th century BC, during the Warring States period of ancient China. These stitching techniques have taken many different forms across the years, in as many different places and regions, yet they remain the foundation of the techniques used today. You'll find such delicate embroidery artwork on traditional and cultural clothing, calligraphy, robes, uniforms, pouches and much more — and it was long seen as a sign of social status, including across the medieval Islamic world.
A symbol of prosperity for modern days
This ancient art was once time-consuming and costly, taking many hours of physically weaving needle, thread and fabric to create a masterpiece — so not everyone could afford an embroidered item. Today, state-of-the-art embroidery machines produce similar results in a shorter time, giving you the same premium, prestigious impression for a fraction of the price. Embroidery remains a more premium range of printing service, yet it stays highly affordable for the results it produces, and we're happy to transform your design into a beautiful, masterful piece you'll be proud to put on.

Common questions about embroidery
Does embroidery cost more if my logo has several colours?
No — multiple thread colours come at no extra cost, so a detailed logo doesn't get more expensive the way a multi-colour print does.
What can you embroider on?
Polos, caps, hoodies, jackets, workwear, uniforms and towels. Embroidery gives a raised, stitched finish that holds up to repeated washing, which is why it's the usual pick for corporate uniforms.
Should I choose embroidery or printing for a company logo?
Embroidery suits pocket-sized logos on polos, caps and uniforms where you want a premium, durable finish. Choose printing for large designs, photographic artwork or anything with fine gradients, which stitching can't reproduce.
What file do you need for embroidery?
A vector file (.AI, .EPS, .PDF or .SVG) is best — the design gets digitised into stitch instructions before it goes on the machine. Send what you have and we'll advise.
