Ladies Milano Cardigan

Q: What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery , we can operate with any file. For Printing , we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF . Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

Q: What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo . Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Q: What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets. Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

Q: How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements , which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles. This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Q: Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit . Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

Q: How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months . Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.
