If you want your company logo to look truly professional on uniforms, hats, and jackets, embroidery is the gold standard. Unlike screen printing or heat transfer, embroidered logos are stitched directly into the fabric — they don't crack, peel, or fade, and they convey a level of quality that customers and employees notice. This guide covers everything you need to know about ordering custom embroidery in Aurora, CO.
Custom Embroidery Pricing in Aurora
Embroidery pricing is based on stitch count — the number of individual stitches required to produce your design. A simple text logo might be 5,000–8,000 stitches, while a detailed graphic logo can be 15,000–25,000 stitches. Here are typical price ranges for common embroidery items in the Aurora and Denver area:
| Item | Price Per Item (12+ qty) | Design Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Polo Shirts | $18 – $28 | Left chest logo |
| Baseball Caps / Hats | $12 – $20 | Front panel logo |
| Jackets / Fleece | $25 – $45 | Left chest + optional back |
| Beanies | $10 – $18 | Front logo |
| Tote Bags | $12 – $22 | Center or corner logo |
| Towels / Robes | $15 – $30 | Monogram or logo |
Minimum Order Quantities
Many embroidery shops in Denver require minimums of 24 or even 48 pieces. At Arif Printing, we accept orders as small as 6 pieces for most items, and single-item orders for special occasions like personalized gifts. This makes us the right choice for small businesses, startups, and organizations that don't need large quantities.
How to Prepare Your Logo for Embroidery
Embroidery requires a digitized version of your logo — a file format (.DST, .PES, .EXP) that tells the embroidery machine exactly where to place each stitch. This is different from a print-ready PDF or PNG. If you don't have a digitized file, we can convert your existing logo for a one-time digitization fee of $25–50, depending on complexity. Once digitized, the file is yours to keep for future orders.
Some logos translate to embroidery better than others. Very thin lines, fine details, and gradients are difficult to reproduce accurately in thread. Our team will advise you if your logo needs simplification for best results, and we'll show you a digital proof before any stitching begins.
