Contract Embroidery - Contract embroidery is where we use our machines to
embroider your stitch file onto your garments or where you employ us to digitize
a file (see Digitizing) to be embroidered onto your garments. The key words here
are "your garments".
Contract Embroidery Charges and Loss Ratios
Contract Embroidery Minimum Charges for Small
Quantities - Our contract embroidery fees are based on several
factors, but if you want us to embroider your design on a "few items", then
you will pay $1 per 1,000 stitches with a $10.00 per garment minimum for six or
fewer items. The minimum per garment drops to $8.00 for quantities of seven to
twelve items and to $5.00 per garment for quantities greater than a dozen.
Contract Embroidery Charges for Large
Quantities - Many contract embroiderers will tell you a stitch is a stitch. We
believe that the finished embroidery product must present the image of the
client who wants embroidery. We use top quality backings, solvy
toppings, and exacting hooping standards. We edit designs for excessive trims, jumps,
and stacking so that the final product is what your customer had in mind
when they placed their order. We will require that you allow us to sew-out
your design and that you tell us the placement of the design along with the brand and type of garment or cap to be
sewn on before we will give you our bid. There are projects we will decline to bid on because of design
problems, garment quality, or time conflicts. We generally sew-out and
bid items within 48 hours of receiving your design and order specifications.
If we are unable to meet the deadline in your bid request, we will contact you.
Embroidery Shrinkage/Loss - We expect
a two percent (2%) loss on items we provide for embroidering for our clients
and customers. These damaged items are part of our overhead. You can expect
the same loss ratio. Damage or destroyed garments will be marked as such and
returned with your finished work. GARMENTS WITHIN THE LOSS RATIO WILL NOT BE
REPLACED.
