Embroidered logos
If you’re looking for logo application of the highest quality and durability, then embroidered workwear could very well be for you. Once embroidered onto a garment, logos look very professional and are a great way of boosting your brand image.

Professional & durable
At Essential we go above and beyond to ensure that your brand is represented as strongly as possible. That’s why we have an in-house design team ready and waiting to work with your logo, and ensure that it’s application onto workwear is – seamless. Complex logos can be redesigned for embroidery purposes, and our team are highly skilled in preparing artwork to suit that purpose.
It’s also good news for logos that contain a multitude of colours, as our embroidery machines can stitch up to 14 colours in one logo design. We stock over 1,000 different thread types too, meaning we can apply a logo to workwear using a variety of different finishes, such as matte or metallic.
Applicable materials
Embroidery is practical, durable and versatile.
As the embroidery process does penetrate the garment, we recommend tightly-woven materials constructed from cotton or wool. The added thickness means the garment can stand up to the stitching and hold the shape well, as opposed to say a thin linen.
That’s just as well, as the professional uniform pieces that would compliment an embroidered logo are typically made from such materials.

Transfer printed logos
When looking to introduce branded uniforms to the workplace, you might want to take it one step further than a standard logo application. Perhaps you want each employee to have their individual names printed onto their t-shirt? That’s where transfer printing comes in.

Unique personalisation
As each transfer printed garment is done on an individual basis, it’s the perfect process for small to medium sized orders where each print may not necessarily be the same. It’s a great way to add extra personalisation to your garments, and offers full CMYK colour printing.
Our transfer printing machines also make it easy to access areas of a garment that would otherwise be difficult to print on. So, if your order requires a specific location print that we may not be able to process with screen or digital printing, rest assured we’ve got it covered with transfer printing.
Applicable materials
Transfer printing is very flexible in the way that it can be applied to a number of different garments and materials, including those that may not be suitable for other methods such as protective workwear, jackets and bags.
Therefore, you won’t be limited for choice when it comes to getting your designs transfer printed onto the garment of your choice.
