Embroidery on T-Shirts
Computer embroidery — volumetric, premium, durable logo.
Short answer
Embroidery on t-shirts (computer embroidery) differs from printing — thread is woven into the fabric, so fading, peeling, or cracking is impossible. At Craftarea we embroider on polo shirts, hoodies, caps, work clothing. Corporate branding, sports uniforms, hotel/restaurant staff uniforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Embroidery or DTF printing — which is better?
Embroidery — for simple logos, polo/jackets, premium branding. DTF — for photo-quality images, in quantities confirmed before ordering, on any color.
What file format for embroidery?
We use AI/SVG/EPS or PNG — we create the DST/EMB file (embroidery format).
How is embroidery priced?
Price depends on stitch count. For a quote, specify the fabric, garment colour, design dimensions, placement and quantity. The final price is confirmed after the production scope is agreed.
Is embroidery durable?
Embroidery durability depends on the fabric, thread, stitch program, backing and care. Check the reverse side and finish on the actual t-shirt; embroidery is not automatically more durable than every print system. Agree the garment-specific care instructions before ordering.
Can you embroider on caps too?
Yes. Cap, hat, jacket, any type of garment.
How can I arrange an embroidery sample?
Agree what the sample must confirm: artwork size, colour, placement, stitch finish or print feel on the selected garment. Confirm whether it is physical or digital, its cost and approval stage before the full run; a sample is not automatically free or included.
