Benefits of Custom Embroidery

for Your Business

Custom embroidery is one of the most professional and durable ways to showcase your brand. At Inkorporate Graphics, our custom embroidery services are ideal for businesses across Southeast Michigan looking to elevate their branded apparel, uniforms, and staff apparel.

Why businesses choose embroidery:

  • Perfect for Workwear & Uniforms – Ideal for custom work shirts, staff apparel, and uniforms that get worn daily.

  • Great for Hats & Outerwear – Embroidery is the go-to choice for custom hats for business, jackets, and heavier garments.

  • Consistent Branding – Embroidered logos help keep your team looking polished and consistent across all custom business apparel.


    If you want apparel that looks sharp, lasts longer, and represents your brand professionally, custom embroidery is a smart investment.

Best Apparel & Industry Use Cases

For Embroidery

At Inkorporate Graphics, we know that not all garments or logo needs are the same. That’s why we offer embroidery on a wide variety of apparel and accessories — especially those best suited to embroidered work.

What Clothing & Items

Embroidery Works Best On

Polo shirts, work shirts, button-downs — a frequent choice for company shirts, staff apparel, and contractor shirts.

Jackets, hoodies, outerwear — great for colder seasons or outdoor workers needing durable, branded outer layers.

Hats, caps, beanies — ideal for custom hats for business, trades, events, uniforms, and promotional apparel.

Bags, aprons, or heavier accessories — for businesses needing uniforms or branded gear beyond shirts.

Uniforms and workwear — perfect for restaurant uniforms, contractor shirts, corporate uniforms, and staff apparel.

Embroidery tends to perform best on mid- to heavier-weight fabrics (as opposed to thin, highly stretchy knits), because the fabric stability ensures stitches stay neat and designs retain their shape.
