Can I mix up the styles and colors?

Shirt & Tees: Using the same logo design for all the items that you choose, you may combine items, sizes and colors for pricing. We have a minimum of 6 pieces per style and per color, and per size. For example, if you order 24 tee shirts, 24 sport shirts, and the same design is used for all of the items, you would follow the 48 pieces price break for each item. Caps Because embroidery on headwear requires a special setup and special equipment, headwear must stand-alone for quantity pricing and for minimum quantities. All cap orders should be ordered in dozens. That is 12 pieces per style, per color, and per size.

Small Text: The smallest text we can embroider to remain legible is about 0.25" (6mm) high. Usually, a single line of text can only include about 20 characters and spaces before it requires the text to be split into two lines.

Logo position for caps: Most logos are centered on the middle front of the cap. We do get several requests for lower left or lower right positioning (closest to the bill). On finished caps, depending on the style, we can place the logo approximately 1 ¼” to 1 ½” from the bill. We can also place small logos on the back and also either side of the cap.

Logo size for caps: Front logo designs have a maximum height of 2.25" tall (less for visors). The width may be as wide as 4.5" or more. Back and side logos are generally ½” to 1 ½” tall. The width is generally 3 .5”. We cannot embroider under or on top of the bill, nor can we embroider on the back strap of the cap. Those positions can only be embroidered on the cap panels before they are assembled overseas.
