Embroidered Workwear
Embroidery gives workwear a quality and permanence that print simply cannot match. A neatly stitched logo on a polo shirt or fleece jacket looks sharp, washes indefinitely without fading, and signals that your business takes its presentation seriously. Somerset Printing offers embroidered workwear for businesses across Somerset, from single pieces to fleet uniform runs.
We embroider logos, text, and badge designs onto a wide range of garments including polo shirts, fleeces, softshell jackets, sweatshirts, caps, and hi-vis vests. The process involves digitising your artwork into a stitch file before the first run — this is a one-time cost and the file is kept for future repeat orders.
Embroidery works best for logos with clear lines and limited colour gradients, and is particularly suited to heavyweight garments that will be worn regularly and washed frequently. It's the preferred decoration method in professional services, healthcare, hospitality, and trade sectors where durability matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is digitisation and do I pay it each time?
Digitisation converts your logo into a stitch file the embroidery machine reads. It's a one-time cost per design — subsequent orders using the same design incur no additional digitisation charge.
Can embroidery replicate my exact brand colours?
We match thread colours to your Pantone reference or brand colour specification as closely as the available thread range allows. We'll share a thread chart for approval before proceeding if exact colour match is critical.
Is embroidery suitable for complex logos?
Embroidery works best for logos with clean lines and limited detail. Very fine text, gradients, and highly intricate illustrations don't translate well to stitch. We'll flag any concerns when we review your artwork.
How durable is embroidery compared to print?
Embroidery is significantly more durable than any print method. The thread is physically woven into the fabric and will not peel, crack, or fade with repeated washing. It outlasts the garment in nearly every case.
Can I order one embroidered item at a time?
Yes — there is no minimum quantity for embroidery, though the per-unit cost is higher on single pieces. For smaller quantities, embroidery is still often more cost-effective over the garment's life than print.
