Embroidery prices in Canada, as the design tool charges them

Embroidery is priced per location and thread colour count, with a one-time $25 setup per thread colour per location spread over the order. The minimum order for embroidery is 12 pieces with the same design: under 12 pieces the design tool prints the job as full-colour DTF instead, which is why this ladder starts at 12. Every product page quotes your exact price as you design.

Custom Embroidery FAQs

Straight answers on minimums, pricing, digitizing, timing and artwork

Is there a minimum order for embroidery?

Yes, 12 pieces with the same design. The product page and the design tool show the price at your exact quantity before you order. Prices drop at 12, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 500 and 1,000 pieces. Under 12 pieces, the design tool prints the job as full-colour DTF instead.

How much does custom embroidery cost?

Embroidery is priced per location by quantity and thread colour count, on top of the blank garment. A one-colour logo is $15.00 per piece at 12 pieces and falls to $3.75 at 1,000, plus a one-time $25.00 setup per thread colour per location spread over the order. A one-colour left-chest embroidery on a Gildan 8800 polo is $26.69 each at 24 and $20.27 at 100. A one-colour embroidered Richardson 112 cap is $27.21 each at 24 caps and $20.79 at 100.

Do you charge for digitizing?

There is no separate digitizing invoice. Converting your logo into a stitch file is covered by the $25.00 setup per thread colour per location, which the design tool spreads over the pieces in the order. A three-colour logo on one location carries $75.00 of setup: $3.13 a piece at 24 and $0.75 at 100.

How long does embroidery take?

Standard production is 10 business days from artwork approval, with shipping on top. Guaranteed rush production is sold at checkout: 7 business days (+30%), 5 business days (+50%), 3 business days (+75%) of the product subtotal. The 2-day option is not offered for embroidery, so 3 business days is the fastest. Orders ship from Toronto to any address in Canada, free over $250, or can be picked up in Toronto.

What can you embroider?

Caps and toques, polos and golf shirts, dress shirts, softshell, fleece, puffer and work jackets, vests, hoodies, crewnecks, quarter-zips, workwear, aprons and tote bags. Embroidery suits fabric with some body. On lightweight tees and thin performance fabric keep the logo small, and for large or full-colour artwork on tees, DTF or screen printing is the better fit.

How many thread colours can a logo have?

Up to 8 thread colours per location in the design tool. Each extra colour adds about $0.32 per piece plus its own $25.00 setup, spread over the order. We match your brand colours to the closest standard thread shades; thread is a fixed palette, so gradients and blends become solid colours.

What artwork do you need?

A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) gives the cleanest stitch file; a sharp PNG or JPEG also works and we digitize from it. Bold shapes, solid fills and lettering at least a quarter inch tall embroider best. Thin lines, gradients, photographs and very small text lose definition in thread. Keep a left-chest or cap logo within about 5 inches wide; our embroidery guideline covers sizes and stitch types.

Where can the embroidery go?

Left chest is the standard placement on polos, fleece and jackets. Caps take the front panel, with the side or back as a second location, and toques take the cuff. Sleeves, the back yoke, a full back on jackets and the front panel of a bag are also common. Each location is priced on its own, so a left-chest logo plus a sleeve mark is two locations.

Can you embroider garments I supply?

In most cases, yes. Email [email protected] with the item, the quantity and your logo before you order so we can confirm the fabric and placement. Supplied garments are decorated at your risk; our defect policy covers garments bought through us.

Can I add embroidered names or numbers?

Yes. Embroidered names are $12.00 each and numbers $15.00 each, on top of the garment and the logo; printed lettering is $8.00 and $10.00. Add them in the design tool, or email the list of names, numbers and sizes to [email protected] with your order.

Embroidery or screen printing: which should I choose?

Embroidery for logos on polos, caps, jackets and fleece, where a stitched finish reads as uniform and outlasts the garment. Screen printing for large or multi-colour graphics on tees and hoodies, where it costs less per piece: a one-colour print adds $6.75 per shirt at 100 against $8.37 for a one-colour embroidery. Full-colour DTF adds $11.00 at 100 with no setup and handles the photographs and gradients that thread cannot.
