Common Questions

Embroidery FAQ - Pasadena

Answers to the most common questions about embroidery for Pasadena businesses and organizations.

Where can I get custom embroidery near Pasadena, CA?

French Press Custom provides professional embroidery services for Pasadena businesses and organizations. Our Santa Fe Springs facility is 25 minutes from Pasadena and houses multi-head commercial embroidery machines for consistent, high-quality results on polos, caps, jackets, bags, and more.

How much does custom embroidery cost in the San Gabriel Valley area?

Embroidery pricing for San Gabriel Valley orders depends on stitch count, quantity, and garment type. A standard logo (up to 5,000 stitches) runs about $9.63 per piece for the embroidery at 24 pieces and about $6.56 at 100+, plus the blank polo or jacket. Caps run about $7.88 each at 24 pieces. There's a one-time digitizing fee of $45.00 which converts your logo to stitch format - this file is saved permanently for free reorders.

What is the digitizing fee for embroidery?

Our digitizing fee is $45.00 per design. Digitizing converts your logo or artwork into an embroidery stitch file that tells our machines exactly how to sew each element. This is a one-time fee - we save your stitch file permanently, so reorders have zero setup cost. Complex designs with many colors or fine detail may require an additional quote.

What items can be embroidered?

We embroider on polos, dress shirts, jackets, fleece pullovers, vests, caps (structured and unstructured), beanies, bags, backpacks, towels, blankets, aprons, and more. We offer 3D puff embroidery on caps for a raised dimensional look. Most woven and knit fabrics accept embroidery well - we'll advise if a specific item isn't suitable.

What is the minimum order for embroidery?

Embroidery starts at 24 pieces per design. A one-time digitizing fee of $45.00 applies for new designs and your stitch file is saved permanently for reorders. For fewer than 24 pieces, DTG printing has no minimum.

Can you rush embroidery in Pasadena?

Yes. Rush windows by method: screen printing and embroidery in 3-5 days, DTG and DTF in 2-3 days, heat transfer vinyl in 24-48 hours, quoted per project. Pickup in Santa Fe Springs as soon as the job is done, or local delivery to Pasadena. See our rush printing page for details.
