Machine embroidery

Computerized embroidery on clothing and caps

Your logo on the chest of the shirt, the front of the cap or the smock pocket, sewn in thread, not printed.

At Nirlon we do custom embroidery in Israel at the factory in Karmiel, the same place where the garments are made, so you can choose a garment and its embroidery in one order.

Embroidery on the cap front.

A few facts as they appear on the site:

What is computerized embroidery

In this process the logo is translated into a stitch file, and an embroidery machine sews it in polyester thread directly into the fabric. The thread is part of the fabric rather than a layer sitting on top, so the embroidery doesn't peel, crack or fade in industrial washing. It is a polished, classic finish that suits professional workwear and team uniforms.

Which garments we embroider

Embroidery suits small, clear areas such as the chest, a pocket and the cap front. A few categories you can embroider on:

Not every garment can be embroidered. Shoes, socks, underwear and tights are not customized, and garments that support it show a note on the site that a logo can be added. Customization is also available on hi-vis vests, kitchen wear and medical wear.

How it works at Nirlon

  1. Choose the garment and upload your logo. You can send PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG or AI, Up to 15MB.

  2. Our graphics studio prepares the file for embroidery and sends a mockup for approval.

  3. After approval the garment is embroidered at the factory, then shipped to you or picked up at the factory store.

Customization lead time and shipping time are two separate things.

When items are in stock, the order is ready within up to 14 days. Times may vary. Delivery to an address costs ₪45, and on orders over ₪1,000 it is free. You can also pick up in person at the factory store, 28 HaNapach St., Industrial Zone, Karmiel.

Embroidery, DTF or screen printing

Embroidery isn't the right choice for every logo.

DTF printing

A logo with gradients, a photo or very fine details suits DTF printing better, which also prints a single piece.

Screen printing

For large orders with up to 6 Pantone colors you can consider screen printing, where the price per unit drops as the order gets larger.

Embroidery

With embroidery the logo gets a stitched texture and a polished look, and it suits polos, caps and smocks especially well.

Tips for preparing a logo for embroidery

  • A simple logo with clear lines suits embroidery better than a logo with many small details.
  • A vector file is preferable (SVG, AI or PDF), but you can send a regular file too, and the studio will review it.
  • It's recommended to decide the logo's placement and size in advance, and check them in the mockup before approval.
