Branding methods, matched to the product

Your logo goes onto thread, fabric, steel, plastic or leather, and each takes a different method. We choose the one that looks best and lasts longest on the product, and show you a proof first.

Question 1 of 7

What would you like branded?

Pick as many as you need.

Roughly how many do you need?

A rough number is fine. Branding costs less per unit as the quantity goes up.

When do you need it delivered?

We check stock and branding times against this date before we quote.

Do you have your logo file ready?

A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) gives the sharpest embroidery and print. A JPG or PNG is fine to start.

Anything else we should know?

Product codes from the shop, colours, sizes, or the town we deliver to. You can skip this one.

Who should we address the quote to?

Your name, and the company if the quote is for one.

Where should we send it?

We send the quote and the proof to this address.
