Embroidery Service
Take your products to the next level with embroidery.
We offer in-house embroidery service. Embroidery product outcome all rests on proper logo digitizing. We do some digitizing in-house and have a great digitizer we use for projects above our expertise. Either way, we can get you fixed up with the embroidered products you desire.
Do we charge a digitizing fee?
Yes, our standard digitizing fee is $30 for simple designs without a ton of detail work.
Designs that require more detail and/or larger sized designs will be quoted based on detail and size requirements.
What is digitizing?
Embroidery digitizing is the process of converting existing artwork like a company logo or team emblem into a stitch file that an embroidery machine can sew on a garment. Before any design can be embroidered, it must be digitized. Digitizing is a complex process that is both art and science.
Equipment
We currently run one, two-head commercial Tajima embroidery machine.
We are setup to stitch headwear and flats(shirts/jackets/backpacks etc..)
Thread Use
Here at 1982 we use 40 weight Poly embroidery thread on most jobs.
Benefits of Poly Thread
stronger than most cotton, silk, wool, or rayon threads.
resistant to tears, fraying, and breakage.
resistant to stretching and shrinking when washed.
resistant to chemicals and will not bleach, bleed, or fade over time or when exposed to chemical cleaners.
excellent for embroidery on items that will be used outdoors.
easy to wash, resists the growth of mildew, and dries quickly when wet.
Puff Embroidery
3D Puff is a technique used to give your product logo a raised 3D appearance. Foam is placed and stitched over to create this effect. Typically done on garments that do not need to be washed a lot. (Caps) We do not recommend having this done on any flat items that will be laundered on a regular basis as the foam will wear down.
