Embroidery of polos, hats, hoodies & more
Embroidered apparel is one of the best ways to decorate your garments. Embroidery works well on polos, hats and heavier garments and also clothing that is difficult to print on. Corporate, sports or workwear polos look great with logos and text embroidered small on the left or right chest. Good embroidery will outlast the life of the garment.
Bulk Clothing Embroidery in Auckland & Thames
Embroidery can be an expensive and timely process for low numbers of garments. Currently, we work to minimum orders of 10 -20 of the same size embroidery but have the capacity to print much more. We regularly embroider bigger orders in the hundreds and occasionally thousands to deliver the finest custom embroidered clothing.
Based in Kingsland, Auckland and Thames, we regularly supply within our local regions but also nationwide.


Simple to complex multi colour embroidery
From simple logos and text to multi-colour and more complex embroidery and t-shirt printing your experts have you covered. Size and complexity does matter though - see our FAQ below for more info.
