Embroidery Printing Services
If you want your brand to look sharp on shirts, hats, or bags, embroidery's the way to go. It’s not a print that’ll peel off after a few washes. It's a stitched thread, built to last.
At Chile Media, we handle embroidery printing services in Texas for businesses, teams, schools, and anyone else who wants their name or logo stitched clean onto fabric. We do it all right here in Texas polos, caps, towels, tote bags and we’ll make sure your design looks good and holds up
What Is Embroidery?
Embroidery is a way of decorating clothing or pieces of fabric, with thread. Typically, multiple thread colors are used to create patterns, designs, and logos on textile or apparel. Embroidery can be a great way to advertise your company brand through use on jackets, shirts, and caps while maintaining a unique and handcrafted look.
In plain English? We take your design and stitch it directly into the fabric with thread. No ink, no press-on vinyl, just a solid, professional look that holds its shape wash after wash.
On average an embroidered image on a cap or a shirt is 3.5 inches to 4 inches and has a thread count of 10,000 or less. In some cases going above 10,000 count on stitching may render an additional charge.

What Goes Into It Embroidery
Here’s what happens when you bring us a logo or want something custom embroidered:
1. We prep your design
Before we can stitch anything, your logo has to be formatted for embroidery. We call this digitizing. A digitized file is necessary to convert your graphic into a thread count that can be ready by embroidery.
That means we either convert your design or create one from scratch as a vector file. If you’re not sure what that means, no problem, we'll handle it. Keep in mind that the selection of thread color is not the same as the almost limitless number of colors produced in CMYK processing. We have a standard color selection that is vast enough to get close to your desired color.
2. We set up the garment
Next, we place your item, whether it’s a shirt or hat into a hoop that holds the fabric tight. Some pieces also need backing to keep the stitching smooth. That stabilizer sits behind the fabric but doesn’t show on the front.
3. We stitch your design
Once everything’s set, we load the file and let the embroidery machine do its thing. It follows the design and builds it out, stitch by stitch. The number of colors and the size of your logo affect how long this takes. Our commercial machines handle multiple threads at once, so we can get jobs done fast without constant thread changes.
Many larger commercial machines can hold at least ten or more thread colors and therefore do not require thread change during the process. We can embroidery up to 15 colors at a time

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between embroidery and printing?
Embroidery uses thread that’s stitched into the fabric. Printing puts ink or a film layer on top. Embroidery usually lasts longer and has more of a 3D look.
What’s the minimum order?
We have a 6-piece minimum. If you’re ordering more, we’ll price it out with bulk discounts.
Can you embroider any fabric?
Most cottons, poly blends, and performance fabrics work. We’ll let you know if something might be tricky.
Can I bring my own items?
Yes. Bring your polos, hats, towels, etc. We’ll check if they’re compatible with embroidery before we start.
How long does it take?
Usually about 5-7 business days, depending on how many pieces and how detailed your design is.
Can you make my logo work for embroidery?
Yes. We can digitize it and get it stitch-ready, even if you’re starting from a PNG or a screenshot.
