Embroidery – 5 Reasons Why It’s Best For You

24th December 2023

The question we are most often asked at MyWorkwear must be 'Why is embroidery the best way to personalise my workwear?'. If this same question is troubling you, look no further. Here’s our guide to the top 5 reasons why you should embroider your logo on your personalised workwear and bespoke uniforms.

1. Quality

An embroidered logo gives a high quality and professional finish, over and above its print cousin. This can set a business apart from those just using print and can bring an added level of professionalism to your brand.

As many businesses’ prime reason for choosing branded clothing is to ensure professionalism, embroidery is a good choice. It will ensure the team look consistently smart throughout the business – to customers, suppliers and colleagues.

2. Long Lasting

Print can be a great solution in certain circumstances but where longevity is concerned, embroidery wins out.

Embroidery won’t fade or crease in the wash like print and won’t crack or peel after time, like some print techniques can. Embroidery can also be washed at high temperatures, between 60 and 90 degrees depending on the threads. Plus, in most circumstances, embroidery will last for the life of the garment.

3. Choice

Print is often a popular choice for personalisation due to cost but there are some garments where print just isn’t appropriate. Embroidery can be applied to a lot more garments and fabrics than print.

Softshells are a favourite when it comes to bespoke outer garments for uniforms. However, softshell materials are usually treated with a coating, which causes the print to lose its colour. Embroidery works perfectly well on these materials and will ensure no loss of colour.

Garments made from delicate materials such as elastane and wool can be damaged by the print process. Embroidery is again a recommended solution as the materials can be personalised without harming the garment.

4. Consistency

Embroidery is the perfect solution for companies with strong brands. If it’s important to you that your logo and branding look exactly the same on every colour, fabric and garment, then embroidery is the personalisation technique for you.

5. Works Across A Variety Of Industries

Requirements for workwear and uniform will very much depend on the industry. A customer-facing service business will probably require a high-quality uniform to give a professional perception. For manufacturing, tough workwear that can be frequently washed at a high temperature is likely to be required. Embroidery is ideal for both of these.
