Embroidery is one of the first enhancements most customers look at when considering decoration of VF Imagewear apparel. A logo announces to the world who you represent and a strong first impression can make a big difference in business. Imagine It can handle all aspects of your embroidery needs. We can create a logo from scratch or digitize and re-work an existing image. We offer a wide selection of thread colors constructed from a 60% Poly / 40% Cotton blend that insures vibrancy as well as colorfastness. Read on to see some of the options available within the world of embroidery…

When creating images on-line, you have the ability to upload your own image so it can be used in creating your customized garment. After completing your customization on-line, the above process is still required to digitize your image for embroidery. The on-line interface will prompt you to complete this process.

We are happy to work with you to have your logos loaded into our system under your customer account number. This will allow your logos to populate within the Imagine It interface screen to be utilized for on-line customization. Ask your VF Customer Service Representative for more information.

For Industrial Processing - VF Imagewear uses colorfast poly/cotton embroidery threads for all embroidery applications. These threads are also accepted by the industrial laundry industry. Using good laundry practices, as outlined in the “Red Kap Guide to Laundry Processing,” will produce acceptable results with industrial processed garments. Because end use and processing requirements will vary, laundering a sample is recommended to determine the specific guidelines that work best in your situation.

Embroidery Guidelines and Success Tips

LSSRSS

• Placement and size can differ based on the garment they will be sewn on. These pages show placements and size guidelines for various garment types.

• Embroidering on a garment with textures, prints or patterns can often make part of a logo difficult to see. Ask for a sew-off prior to placing orders to be certain that all words are legible and colors are visible.

• To determine the best size and placement for embroidery, photo copy the logo to the desired size, cut it out and place it on the garment in various locations until the best size and location is determined.

• If grommets, eyelets or badges will be going on the same side of a garment as embroidery, be sure to leave the appropriate space for the badge when specifying embroidery location.

• Embroidery requested on a pocket will render the pocket non-functional.

Placket embroideries have been created to address many themes for use on 1M10, 1P10, 1P12 and 4Y34. Each design shown below is available in multiple color options to enhance a variety of shirt colors. If you like the design but need a different color scheme, for a small set-up fee we can make your own version.

Custom Placket Embroideries

All placket embroideries are available in the colors shown below each design. Examples of most color versions are shown at least once and are highlighted in gold below the designs.

Re-color - If you would like to re-color an existing placket embroidery design, access the Embroidery Request form (click on Custom Logo) via the Imagine It on-line interface and fill out the appropriate sections. A re-color requires you to utilize the existing number of colors in a design and that you maintain the same locations. If the design is red, blue and green, you can change everything that is currently red to any new color, anything blue to any

new color, etc. If a design element is currently two colors, you can not change it to four. This would constitute a new design, not a re-color.

Changing a design from multicolors to one color would also be considered a re-color.

Fee - The charge for a re-color is $25.00. The new version will be assigned a new code and it will become your exclusive design.

A Re-design can also be done to a placket embroidery. The process would follow that of above. Color options would be open to your choice. Fee would be the same as a digitizing fee, and would be based on the stitch count of the embroidery. See guidelines on page 5.

Thread OptionsThe thread colors pictured here are from A & E Signature threads, and are a 60% Poly / 40% Cotton blended product. They have excellent color retention with a high luster finish, are strong to prevent breakage, and have very good abrasion resistance that will stand up to the rigors of industrial washing. We feel these threads perform well in most embroidery applications and recommend their use. Since the conditions of end use, washing, pressing and other curing techniques are beyond our control, the user of the end product should always determine if this thread choice is the best for their purposes.

For home wash embroidery applications, we also inventory Robison-Anton Super Strength Rayon thread. This thread is slightly smaller in size and creates a high shine finished product. Embroidery using these threads must be special ordered through our customer service department.

Embroidery ordered through the on-line interface, Imagine It, will be embroidered using A & E Signature thread.
