Custom Embroidery Pricing
We believe in transparent, straightforward pricing — no hidden fees.
Digitising fee: From £30 (one-time per design — once digitised, it’s yours to use on any future orders)
Embroidery from: £6.70 per item based on 100 units and under 1,000 stitches
The cost of custom embroidery is calculated based on the number of stitches in your design, not the number of colours. This means a larger or more detailed logo will have a higher stitch count and a slightly higher cost per item. Our team will calculate your exact stitch count during the quoting process and give you a full price breakdown upfront — no surprises.
Bulk order discounts are available. The more you order, the lower the cost per item.

Custom Embroidery Stitch Types We Use
The quality of embroidery comes down to the right stitch for the right application. Our experienced technicians use three core stitch types:
Satin Stitch — A series of closely spaced parallel stitches ideal for text, borders, and small detailed elements. Produces a smooth, shiny finish that looks clean and professional. Best suited to letters and defined shapes.
Fill Stitch (Tatami Stitch) — Used to fill large areas of a design evenly. Creates a solid, textured appearance and is the go-to for logos with large colour blocks. Highly durable and wash-resistant.
3D Puff Embroidery — Stitching is applied over a foam underlay to create a raised, three-dimensional effect. A bold, eye-catching choice for hats, caps, and fashion garments where you want your logo to stand out.
Our digitising team selects and combines these techniques to get the best result for your specific design, ensuring it looks outstanding on the finished garment.
Turnaround Times
Standard service: 5–7 business days from design approval.
Express service: Available for urgent orders — call us on 0203 773 5020 to discuss your deadline and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you. Same-day and next-day embroidery may be available depending on order size and complexity.
Walk-in customers are always welcome at our East London studio — Unit 9, Acacia Business Centre, 14 Howard Rd, London E11 3PJ. Open Monday to Friday, 10am–6pm.
What Is Custom Embroidery?
Custom embroidery is the process of stitching a design, logo, or text directly onto a garment or fabric using a needle and thread. Unlike printed transfers, embroidered designs are sewn into the fabric itself, making them far more durable, wash-resistant, and long-lasting. The result is a professional, premium finish that adds a sense of quality and permanence to any garment.
At East London Printers, our embroidery is fully digitised and machine-produced on state-of-the-art Tajima embroidery machines, ensuring consistent precision across every piece in your order.
Embroidery vs. Screen Printing — Which Is Right for You?
Both embroidery and screen printing are popular methods for personalising garments, but they suit different needs. Embroidery tends to be the better choice for workwear, corporate clothing, uniforms, and anything that will be washed and worn regularly — the stitched design simply won’t fade, crack, or peel. Screen printing is better suited to large-run promotional t-shirts where a photographic or multi-colour design is needed at the lowest possible cost per unit.
