Frequently asked questions

Custom embroidery pricing depends on the garment, logo size, stitch count, placement, and order quantity. At PROMOXWEAR, standard left-chest embroidery is included in the listed price of eligible apparel, making it easier to compare options.

How much does it cost to embroider a logo on a polo shirt?

The price depends on the polo brand and style, plus any additional embroidery requirements. PROMOXWEAR includes standard left-chest logo embroidery in eligible polo prices.

What affects the price of custom embroidery?

Major factors include garment cost, stitch count, logo complexity, design size, embroidery location, and order quantity. Larger or denser designs generally require more production time.

Does embroidery cost more for larger logos?

Often, yes. Larger designs can require more stitches, thread, and machine time. However, the complexity and density of a design also affect the final cost.

Is there a setup fee for custom embroidery?

At PROMOXWEAR, qualifying first orders under $300 have a $50 one-time small-order setup fee. Once your logo is saved in the system, that fee does not apply again for the saved logo.

Is logo digitizing included in the price?

PROMOXWEAR offers free standard logo digitizing. This converts your artwork into an embroidery-ready stitch file. Special designs or additional embroidery locations may require separate pricing.

Can I order just one embroidered shirt?

Yes. PROMOXWEAR has no minimum order requirement. You can order one embroidered item or outfit an entire team, although a one-time small-order fee may apply to qualifying first orders.

How can I save money on custom embroidery?

Choose an affordable garment, keep the design clean and embroidery-friendly, use the included left-chest placement when suitable, and reuse your saved logo for future orders. Planning ahead can also help avoid rush production fees.
