Embroidery: The Time-Honored Embellishment for Business

Embroidery can be traced back to 30,000 B.C., learned from fossils of heavily hand-stitched items discovered by archeologists. Though embroidery stems from the French word broderie, meaning embellishment, it actually has its earliest origins in China and the Near East.

From its earliest dates, through the centuries, all over the world, embroidery has been a continuous reoccurrence throughout history. From hobby to fashion statement, it has been one of the only trends that doesn’t seem to fade out, but rather, it stays in constant use.

Not only is embroidery good for keeping the hands busy, but it’s also a good investment for business uniforms and apparel. The five reasons outlined below focus on the benefits that embroidery has when used for businesses and organizations.

1. DURABILITY

The embroidery designs on apparel last for years without fraying or fading during average use. Unlike other embellishments, such as heat press, embroidery lasts because it withstands so many factors. Between weather, regular washing, and everyday ware, it can last decades. Centuries, even, based on the findings of the forementioned archeologists.

2. pROFESSIONAL

There is something about a logo embroidered on a polo shirt that screams “this dude is professional.” Since the ware is minimal with embroidery, it doesn’t fray or crack, therefore keeping a clean, professional look. More so, since embroidery is most often done by a large, multi-faced machine, you can ensure that every piece of apparel will be the exact same color and in the exact same placement as all the others in the batch.

3. timeless

As stated earlier, embroidery has been around for literal centuries. It has gained popularity in some decades more than others, most recently throughout the 1900s, but it can still be found in just about every era. Whether it’s a hand embroidered gift or a machine embroidered t-shirt, it’s an embellishment that can safely be assumed to never truly go out of style.

4. apparel options

Heat pressing and screen printing, though viable options, are vastly limited to what apparel items they can be used for. Embroidery, however, can be used on almost anything with a fabric surface. It can be used on the standard polo uniform, or it can be used on backpacks for your employees to help advertise the business. It can even go as far as to be used on things like towels, bathrobes, and blankets. With embroidery, though the possibilities aren’t endless, the options are drastically larger than any other embellishment.

5. any workstyle

The last point to be made for team embroidery is that this embellishment can be used for any profession. Really, any profession at all. From construction, to ballet dancer, to teacher, to CEO, embroidery is a tool that works for every type of job. More so, it can last through every type of job. So not only will your team look professional, put-together, and like they belong, but they’ll have a uniform that is durable throughout all of their tasks.

Let’s recap: durability, professional, timeless, near-unlimited apparel options, and suits any workstyle. Embroidery has proven itself to be the very best choice for apparel options. Whether it’s a business uniform, organization merch, or school fundraiser, embroidery is a forever reliable and stylish choice for embellishment.
