Embroidery and Badging
FRS are very experienced at personalising your garments. We can embroider,
screen print or apply heat transfers to virtually any item. This is particularly
popular with businesses who wish to promote their logo and corporate image
and for sporting teams. We are frequently being asked for personalised garments
for smaller groups for holidays, Stag nights, Hen nights and even Birthday
parties.
By its very nature, personalistion is unique and it is difficult for us to
provide prices without knowing the intricacies of the job in question. We
have provided a rough guideline below to give you an idea of what to expect.
If you are undecided about what personalistion you require, give us a call
and we can give you some ideas and even design you a logo - for free!
Embroidery
Embroidery is priced according to the number of stitches in the design -
the more stitches, the greater the cost. The first step is to determine if
the will be any set-up costs. If your logo contains an image or an unusual
font it will require the creation of a jacquard. A jacquard is a computer
program that tells the embroidery machines where to stitch and what thread
to use. We can digitise most image formats to create a jacquard, and costs
vary between £20.00 and £100.00 + VAT, depending on the number
of stitches. A typical jacquard cost is £35.00. If your personalisation
is simply standard text we can create text jacquards 'on the fly' and there
is no set-up cost. We usually charge £2.50 + VAT per garment to embroider
standard (up to 10mm) text.
When you've determined if you will have any set-up costs, the next step is
the cost per embroidery. Again, this depends on the number of stitches in
the design and varies between £1.50 and £5.00 + VAT, with a typical
cost of about £2.50. Why not contact us for a quote?
SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing is suitable only when you have a relatively large number
of items to be badged and where each item is to have the same logo. We usually
recommend that screen printing is not cost effective for runs of less than
30 garments. Printing will involve the creation of a screen for each colour
in the logo at a cost of around £25.00 + VAT per screen. Each colour
is printed in turn until the logo is complete. The cost of printing each colour
depends on a number of factors and you should call us on +44 (0) 8454 65 66 65

HEATSEAL TRANSFERS
Heatseal transfers are badges that are applied to the garment by a machine
which applies heat and pressure until the transfer fuses with the fabric.
It is NOT the same as the 'do it yourself' iron on badges. This method is
most suitable for badging where a large logo is required, such as a name or
number on the back of a footballers shirt. It also has the advantage over
screen printing that small runs can easily be printed. Prices depend on the
size and number of colours but a typical print such as a name across the back
of a shirt (like a footballer has) is about £2.50 + VAT. Please call
us on +44 (0) 8454 65 66 65 if you require more details or request
