Custom Embroidery Service - Professional, Stylish, Practical

Our expert embroidery service helps your business and team present a stylish, professional, and practical image. Whether it's a logo, name, or message, we offer a wide range of positions, colours, styles, and sizes to ensure your branding truly stands out.

We produce over 2.8 million garments annually, meeting a wide variety of embroidery and heat seal badge requirements. Our scale and experience allow us to deliver exceptional quality and service, trusted across industries.

Whether you're outfitting a small team or a large workforce, our embroidery solutions help you look the part - every time.

Embroidery
  • Embroidery design and origination
  • Embroidery application
  • Embroidery text application - to personalise garments with individual names or departments
  • Tax tabbing and services
  • Over locked badge production and application

Embroidery involves using a needle and thread to create patterns on textiles. We have partnered with the top machine manufacturer, Barudan to ensure our embroidery finished product is the best in its class. Embroidery gives a sense of premium branding and the three-dimensional nature of embroidery styles adds depth to your designs, making logos stand out.

If a flame retardant garment is to be embroidered directly, flame retardant embroidery thread is recommended to be used.

Heat Seal Printing – Direct to Film (DTF) Technology

Using state-of-the-art Mimaki DTF printing technology, we produce high-quality heat seal badges in a wide range of sizes, suitable for application on most fabrics and garments. Whether for uniforms, workwear, or specialist PPE, our service ensures consistent branding across your workforce-helping you maintain a strong and professional brand image.

Direct to Film (DTF) is an advanced heat-seal process where your design is printed onto a specialised film using water-based inks, an adhesive powder, and a heat press. This results in:

  • Vibrant colours
  • Exceptional detail
  • Strong durability on a variety of fabrics

Our heat seal badges have been independently tested to BS EN ISO 11612:2015 standards. When applied to the outermost layer of Arco's flame-retardant garments, they meet the limited flame spread performance requirement A1, supporting safety as well as style.

From small name badges to large back prints, our DTF service delivers long-lasting, high-performance branding for any industry.

Tax Tabbing Service by experts

We supply tax tabs (woven or printed labels) designed to brand your uniform with your company logo. These discreet labels are an elegant and subtle branding solution sewn into the seam of many garments, often preferred for work trousers, shirts, and blouses. They can feature exceptionally fine detail for a highly professional finish.

Adding woven labels to your company uniforms helps ensure they are clearly identifiable as workwear by HMRC (Inland Revenue). This can support your case that the garments are not considered a fringe benefit. For this reason, these labels are often referred to as Tax Tabs.

Wearer Packing - Efficient, Personalised Uniform Delivery

Our Wearer Packing service is the most efficient way to ensure every member of your team receives exactly what they need, delivered safely, stylishly, and ready to wear.

Tailored to Every Role

Whether you're kitting out a senior manager or a frontline worker in a hazardous environment, we manage the process for you, consolidating garments by individual wearer and delivering them in a single, clearly labelled package.

Key Benefits:

  • Streamlined Distribution - Save time at the point of delivery with pre-packed, named orders-no sorting required.
  • Full Traceability - From order to invoice, wearer details are replicated throughout the process, providing full accountability and transparency.
  • Reduced Handling & Waste - Fewer touchpoints mean less packaging, storage, and manual processing-cutting costs and supporting sustainability.

From simplifying logistics to enhancing the experience for your employees, Wearer Packing makes outfitting your workforce faster, greener, and more accurate.
