Looking for a way to make your brand, team, or event stand out? Whether you need crisp, vivid logos for your business, personalized team gear, or unique gifts, custom embroidery provides durability and a professional finish that you can be proud of. At Pulse Merch, we take the hassle out of ordering custom embroidered apparel, making it simple, affordable, and genuinely creative. Here’s everything you need to know to make your embroidery project a success, from our minimum order requirements to designing your standout look.
Why Choose Custom Embroidery?
Custom embroidery isn’t just about looking good—it’s about creating a lasting, premium impression. Embroidered logos and artwork are neatly stitched into the fabric, providing a polished appearance that withstands daily wear and repeated washing. If you want your brand or team to look unified and professional, embroidery is an unbeatable choice for polos, hats, jackets, hoodies, and other apparel items.
Our Minimum Order Policy
At Pulse Merch, we strive to make custom embroidery accessible while maintaining the quality and processes that ensure exceptional results. To maintain high quality and keep lead times reasonable, our minimum order for custom embroidery is just 24 pieces. This applies to all embroidered items, whether you’re ordering polos, hats, or hoodies.
We don't currently accept customer-supplied garments, but don’t worry—we offer a vast and carefully curated selection of apparel in styles and colors that cater to any need or budget. Our team can help you find the perfect base for your vision.

How to Design for Embroidery: Expert Tips
A beautiful embroidered logo or design starts with the right artwork. Here’s how to make sure your design looks fantastic in stitches:
Keep it Simple: Embroidery works best with clean, bold lines and minimal small details. Thin lines, tiny text, or complex shading can be hard to capture with thread.
Choose Contrasting Colors: Pick thread colors that stand out from your garment for maximum visibility and impact.
Limit Color Count: Most embroidery looks best with up to 6 thread colors. This keeps the design sharp and the stitching smooth.
Consider Size: Standard left chest logos are typically 3-4 inches wide. Oversized embroidery can look great on the back of jackets or across hats, but be sure to consult with our designers for optimal sizing.
Test Your Design: Our team provides digital mockups for every order, allowing you to see exactly how your logo will look—no surprises.
For more custom embroidery inspiration, explore our range of options, including custom embroidery hats, hoodies, and polos. We’re always happy to help with advice on sizing, placement, and artwork tweaks so your finished gear looks exactly as you imagined.
Can I Make My Own Embroidery Designs?
Absolutely! If you have graphic design skills, you can create your artwork using vector-based programs like Adobe Illustrator. Ensure you use bold shapes and solid colors for optimal results. If you’re unsure how to translate your vision into an embroidery-ready file, our in-house graphic design team is available to lend their expertise, whether you need a basic logo touch-up or a unique, branded look for your apparel.
