Our job is to create stylized designs that will turn out beautifully once stitched onto the curved bill of a baseball cap or the thick material of a polo shirt.<\/p><p>Keep your design somewhat simple with bold lines and areas of filled in colour. Often a stylized version of your logo will look better than a full colour design. We&rsquo;ll digitize your logo or design for embroidery. You can keep some complexity in your design, as our staff and machines are capable of amazing embroideries. Talk to our expert embroidery team for consultation on your design &#128578;<\/p><p>Save money with smaller designs. Our embroidery pricing is determined by the number of stitches in your design. A small design with many complex lines may be the same price as a large simple design.<\/p><p>Embroidery prices are based on stitch-count (larger and more complex designs will cost more).<\/p><p>Most products on artik.com include a small embroidery in the price. The best way to find out your cost is to contact us for a price quote.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Chest2.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Chest2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Back2.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Back2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Sleeves2.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Sleeves2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Cap-Back.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Cap Back\"><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Cap-Front.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Cap Front\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Cap-Side.jpg\" alt=\"Emb Cap Side\"><\/p><h2>Three Steps to Embroidery<\/h2><div>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Contact.jpg\" alt=\"Contact our friendly staff for an embroidery price quote!\" width=\"341\" height=\"230\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Digitizing.jpg\" alt=\"We digitize your artwork before we embroider it!\" width=\"341\" height=\"230\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artik.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/categories\/Banner\/Emb_Process.jpg\" alt=\"The embroidery machine reads your digitized artwork and stitches it into fabric\" width=\"341\" height=\"230\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Step 1.
