How to Make a Uniform Embroidery Order List
For a crew embroidery order, give each garment its own row and pair it with the exact name to be stitched. Then record the shared logo and placement instructions separately. That makes it easier to catch a missing shirt, a spelling change or a different request before the work is agreed.
Count Garments, Not Just Employees
Three employees do not necessarily mean three items. Someone may bring two shirts and a jacket, while another needs a name on one shirt. Start with the garments you actually have. Record the type, size and colour from each item, then assign a temporary reference such as A1 or A2 on your list. Ask the store how to identify the matching garment without marking or damaging it.
Keep different garment styles distinguishable even if the names match. A shirt and a lined jacket may have different access to the requested stitching area. Our workwear and company-logo embroidery service starts with assessment of the actual items and design.
A Four-Garment Example You Can Adapt
This is a hypothetical list, not a customer order or a quoted package. Replace the wording and garment details with your own. One row represents one physical item.
| Item | Garment | Exact name |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Navy shirt, M | SAM |
| A2 | Navy shirt, M | SAM |
| A3 | Black jacket, L | SAM |
| B1 | Navy shirt, L | J. CHEN |
The check is three shirts plus one jacket: four garments and four requested name placements. If you also want the company logo on every item, state that as a separate request for all four garments. Two distinct names is not a quantity of two garments, and a name plus a logo is not one indistinguishable design instruction.
Add One Shared Instruction Header
Keep the information that applies to the whole order above the roster:
- Order contact and list version: who can answer questions, and the date or version of this particular list.
- Company design: identify the logo file or existing garment you are using as the reference, including any required colours.
- Placement request: specify the wearer’s left or right, plus the intended position for the name and for the logo.
- Exceptions: identify any item that needs a different position, wording or design instead of treating every row as identical.
- Required collection date: the date you need the garments, for the store to assess availability.
A shared header could request names on the wearer’s right chest and the logo on the wearer’s left. That is an example of clear wording, not a universal placement rule. Show the position on the actual garment and discuss pockets, seams, lining and existing decoration before it is confirmed.
Proof Every Name Exactly as It Should Appear
Check capitalization, initials, punctuation, spaces and accents with the person or business responsible for the order. Write the final wording in the roster instead of expecting the store to interpret a nickname, email address or handwritten correction. Decide whether job titles are part of the stitching or just notes for your own records.
Wilcom’s team-name documentation illustrates the distinction between a shared design and the individual names associated with it. For your order, a correct company logo does not establish that every person’s wording is correct too.
Flag an unusually long name or wording that must match an older uniform. Do not assume it can simply be reduced to any size: Hatch’s lettering guidance describes recommended size ranges for embroidery fonts and font-dependent sizing. Bring the reference garment so the store can discuss lettering size, spacing and appearance on your particular item.
Keep Later Changes Clear
When a new employee or extra shirt is added, update the item rows and total together. Keep a dated copy of the version you discussed with the store. If details change after drop-off, contact us before assuming the work can still be altered; ask what stage the order has reached and confirm the revised wording, price and collection timing.
For employer-issued or protective workwear, bring the uniform specification and relevant manufacturer instructions. Check approval for the requested modification first. A name list or company logo does not establish that a change is suitable for FR, arc-rated or high-visibility clothing.
