Why custom embroidery from Arklavo beats the usual options

Real stitched embroidery or print, no minimum, and days not weeks. It is a combination no promo shop, online marketplace, or local embroiderer offers all at once.

Option	Real stitched embroidery	No minimum	Days, not weeks
Promo shops	Sometimes	Often minimums	Varies
Online marketplaces	Varies by seller	Print only	Varies
Local embroiderer	Yes	Often a minimum	Often weeks
ArklavoBest value	Yes	Yes	Yes

Comparison reflects typical offerings in each category, not any single named company. Many no-minimum options apply only to printing, or set a separate minimum for embroidery. Arklavo decorates a single garment with no minimum, by embroidery or print.

What customers say about their custom embroidered apparel

Market outlook

Custom embroidery demand is growing as businesses choose stitched logos over print

The market data lines up with what we see every week. Branded apparel is the biggest category in promotional products, and embroidery is a growing share of it as businesses move past 40 percent of the decorated-apparel market choosing stitched logos for the premium, long-lasting look. Teams want real custom embroidery without a fifty-piece minimum. That is the shift we built Arklavo around.

Everything to know about custom embroidered apparel

Custom embroidery is the decoration businesses, sports teams, and events reach for when they want a logo that lasts. We carry over 60 styles including polos, jackets, softshells, caps, tees, and sweatshirts from Gildan, Under Armour, Lane Seven, SOL'S, Independent Trading Co., Cotton Heritage, AS Colour, Bella + Canvas, and Jerzees, in a range of weights and fits. Your logo goes on in real stitched embroidery, DTG print, or DTF, whichever suits the artwork and the fabric.

Choosing your custom embroidered apparel

A polo or button-down shirt takes a left-chest logo well and reads professional for front-of-house staff. A jacket or softshell works as a cooler-weather layer and carries embroidery on the chest or sleeve without any issue. We carry polos, jackets, caps, tees, and more from Gildan, Independent Trading Co., Lane Seven, Bella + Canvas, and AS Colour, in unisex fits, in black, navy, gray, and charcoal with more shades on request.

Embroidery, DTG, or DTF

We embroider your logo into the chest, sleeve, or back yoke for a raised, durable finish, or run DTG and DTF print when you want full color across a large area. Embroidery holds up best for long-term staff and team wear, while print suits detailed art and gradients. We digitize your artwork in house at no charge before sending a proof.

Ordering, no minimums, and reorders

There is no minimum, so you can order a single embroidered garment to check the color, fit, and decoration before a full run, and the price per piece falls as the quantity rises. We send a free digital proof before anything is made. Once your logo is on file, reorders are simple.

Embroidered apparel suits company staff, trades and outdoor crews, gyms and sports clubs, breweries, schools, hospitality, and event teams. Embroidery looks sharp on a left chest, sleeve, or back yoke; full-color print covers big front graphics. Pick a polo for a clean front-of-house look, a jacket for cooler-weather wear, or a cap for outdoor events. Send your logo and quantity for a quote

Garment sizing and fit

Embroidered apparel comes in real apparel sizes, not one size. We carry unisex XS to 5XL across most styles, with the exact range set by the brand and style you pick. Here is how to size a run for a team.

Custom embroidered apparel showing the cut and fit

Unisex XS to 5XL

Most styles run unisex XS to 5XL, though the top of the range varies by brand. A standard fit lands true to size. If your crew wants a relaxed or layering fit over a shirt or polo, size up one. We can sort a full size run on your order, and youth sizes are available on some styles. Ask on your quote.

Fit by garment type

A polo wears trim and professional. A softshell or jacket layers cleanly over a shirt. Heavier-weight fleece feels more structured; lightweight styles drape softer for all-day wear. Tell us the look you want and we will match the style and size run.

Built to last

Whether your logo is embroidered or printed, we set it to hold up through real use, so it won't crack, peel, or fade, wash after wash.

Wash cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang to dry to keep the fabric in good shape and the decoration sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom embroidery and how does it work at Arklavo?

Custom embroidery is a decorating method that stitches your logo or design directly into the fabric using thread. At Arklavo, you submit your artwork, we convert it into an embroidery file, and send you a free digital proof before any production starts. Once you approve it, we produce and ship your order, typically in about 2 days. It works on polos, jackets, hats, bags, and most structured garments.

Is there a minimum order quantity for embroidered shirts?

No. Arklavo has no order minimums, so you can order a single embroidered shirt or a full team run of 500. Small businesses ordering staff polos for the first time appreciate being able to start with just a few pieces to test fit and branding before scaling up. Use code FIRST15 at checkout for 15% off your first order.

How much does it cost to get a logo embroidered on a shirt?

Pricing depends on the garment style, thread count, and quantity. Because we have no minimums, single pieces are available, though per-unit cost drops as quantity increases. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a free quote on arklavo.com. Orders over $150 ship free within the US, and first-time customers save 15% with code FIRST15.

How long does it take to receive custom embroidered shirts?

Most orders ship within about 2 business days after you approve your proof. Delivery time after that depends on your location and chosen shipping method. If you have a deadline, mention it when you request a quote and we will confirm whether the timeline works before you commit to anything.

Do I get to see a proof before my embroidered shirts go into production?

Yes, every order includes a free digital proof before production begins. You review exactly how your logo will be digitized and placed on the garment, including stitch direction and thread colors. Production only starts once you give written approval, so there are no surprises when the order arrives.

What types of garments can be embroidered?

Arklavo embroiders polos, button-down shirts, dress shirts, fleece jackets, softshell jackets, hoodies, caps, beanies, and tote bags, among others. Embroidery works best on structured, woven, or medium-weight knit fabrics. If you have a specific garment in mind, request a quote and we can confirm whether it is a good fit for the technique.

How many thread colors can I include in my embroidered logo?

Most logos translate well with up to 8 to 10 thread colors, which covers the vast majority of business branding. Complex gradients or photographic artwork are better suited to DTG printing rather than embroidery. Our digitizing team reviews your file and will flag anything that needs adjustment before the proof is created, so you know what to expect upfront.

Will embroidered logos hold up after repeated washing?

Embroidery is one of the most durable decoration methods available. The stitching is sewn into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, so it resists fading, cracking, and peeling even after frequent commercial washing. For workwear and staff uniforms that go through heavy laundering cycles, embroidery generally outlasts printed alternatives.

Can I get my company logo embroidered on hats and caps?

Yes, hats and caps are among the most popular items for embroidered logos. Structured caps with a firm front panel produce clean, crisp results. Arklavo offers embroidered snapbacks, dad hats, beanies, and visors. Submit your logo when you request a quote and we will digitize it for the specific hat style you choose.

What file format should I send for my embroidery logo?

Vector files such as AI, EPS, or PDF work best and give us the clearest path to accurate digitizing. High-resolution PNG or JPG files are also accepted if a vector is not available. Our team will review whatever you send and let you know in the proof stage if any adjustments are needed to reproduce your design accurately in thread.

How does embroidery compare to DTG printing for business shirts?

Embroidery gives a premium, textured look that photographs well and signals quality, making it a strong choice for customer-facing staff and branded uniforms. DTG printing handles full-color photographic artwork and fine detail better than embroidery. Arklavo offers both methods, and we can help you choose based on your artwork, garment type, and intended use.

Can I order embroidered shirts in multiple sizes for my whole team?

Yes. You can mix sizes within a single order at no extra charge, which makes it straightforward to outfit a full team or staff with different sizing needs. Select your sizes when you place your order or mention them in your quote request. With free US shipping on orders over $150 and no minimums, ordering for a group is simple and cost-effective.
