Embroidery
Our state of the art embroidery machines can produce products from start to finish all in houseFirst Step: Choose type of embroidery
3D Puff
Putting a piece of foam under the thread creates a cool 3D effect on your design. Best used on thick block text with rounded corners.
Monogram
If you want to add a personal touch such as a name or initials - this is a great option. Great for class or team apparel!Second Step: Artwork
Sending us your logo
To have your logo imprinted, or 'stitched' on apparel or accessories, our art department takes the logo and digitizes it from scratch, using specialized software. This ensures the highest quality embroidery on all products College Hype offers.
Digitizing a logo is an artistic process used by embroiderers where a computerized set of 'punches' or 'stitches' is generated to capture each individual part of your logo or design.
Do I need a Digitized Logo
In most cases when you want embroidered apparel, you will need your logo to be digitized. We computer-punch each individual stitch of your logo, which also allows us to account for the specific type of garment and material you ordered. This process helps us further ensure the quality of your embroidered logo, thereby preventing loose stitches or 'stitch puckering' on your garments. When the logo is digitized, we will provide you with an actual sample of how it looks stitched out. This gives you the opportunity to approve it or make any necessary changes, and also ensures you will be 100% satisfied.
Third Step: Thread Colors
We have a list of our “standard” thread colors.
Feel free to browse our catalogs, design a tee, request a quote, or book an appointment with our sales team!
