We had an prospective embroidery customer upset with us some days ago and we’ve been thinking about this interaction since. The call started innocently enough. The customer wanted to get a quote for embroidering his logo on shirts and jackets. We explained that the price depended upon two things: the complexity of the logo to be embroidered, and the type …
We had an inquiry from a potential client in New York about embroidered luggage. This person asked why every shop he had contacted had said it could not be done while we have a blog post that talks about how it is possible to embroider luggage. He supplied the photo featured above. Why this cannot be successfully accomplished is actually a two …

It adds a mark of distinction to your travel bags and helps you extend your brand image to the airport, the hotel, and beyond.

We normally do not accept customer-supplied garments. However, recently a fellow church parishioner asked us to screen print on some shirts she found “on sale” at a local Michaels outlet. She wanted to offer an inexpensive gift to the members of a church group. The price she paid for the shirts was comparable to our wholesale pricing, so it was …
