Embroidery service

Looking for an embroidery service for school, university, team, or club clothing? Leavers Hoodies Company UK offers premium embroidery on hoodies and other garments, produced in our own UK factory using our own equipment so we can check quality before anything leaves the building. To get started with our embroidery service, simply request a quote by email or via our contact form and we’ll come back to you with clear pricing and options.

Professional embroidered garments for groups

Our embroidery service is designed for group and bulk orders – perfect for schools, colleges, universities, sports teams, clubs, and trip organisers who want durable branding that looks smart for years.

With our in-house embroidery and printing, we can help you create:

• School and leavers hoodies with crests, names, and year designs
• University and society wear, including custom hoodies and sweatshirts
• Sports and club kit, from sports hoodies to tour and trip garments
• Jackets, fleeces, and other outerwear where embroidery is the preferred decoration method

All embroidery work is carried out on high-quality cotton-blend garments chosen for durability, comfort, and suitability for decoration.

What our embroidery service includes

Our team supports you from first idea to finished delivery. As part of our embroidery service, we can:

• Apply school crests, college or university logos, and team badges
• Add names, initials, nicknames, and numbers
• Include sponsor logos and simple graphics such as flags or sports icons
• Position embroidery on the front, sleeve, or in combination with a printed back design

If you are ordering leavers hoodies or other custom garments, we can combine embroidery (for the crest or logo) with print (for large back designs, numbers, or wording) to give you the best result for each part of the design.

How our embroidery ordering process works

We aim to keep group ordering straightforward and stress-free. A typical embroidered order follows four simple steps:

1. Choose your garments
   Browse our range of custom hoodies, jackets, fleeces, or other garments and decide on styles, sizes, and colours. We can supply plain samples (chargeable and refundable if returned in the same condition) if you want to check colours and fabrics first.

2. Send your design and list
   Email your logo or crest (or ideas if you need help designing from scratch), plus any list of names, initials, or numbers to be embroidered. If you need guidance on colour matching, you can send Pantone references by email and we’ll advise.

3. Receive a clear quote and visual proof
   We’ll prepare a no-obligation quote by email, including VAT, based on the garments, quantities, and embroidery positions you choose. You’ll also receive a visual/proof showing layout and design so you can check everything is correct before we proceed.

4. Approve and receive your order
   Once you approve the proof and we receive payment or an official school purchase order, we move your order into production. Typical delivery for embroidered orders is around 15–20 working days (2–3 weeks), depending on the size and complexity of the order.

Throughout the process, our team is on hand by phone and email to answer questions, suggest suitable garments, and help you choose between embroidery and print where needed.

When embroidery is the best option

Our embroidery service is especially suitable when you want:

• A smart, long-lasting crest or logo on the chest
• A professional look for staff, teams, or society committees
• Decoration on fleece or some jacket materials where print is not ideal
• A subtle design with a high perceived quality

For fleece jackets and some outerwear styles, we generally recommend embroidery over print because of the fabric surface. For designs that need to run across the front of a garment where a zip or fastening sits, a pullover hoodie with a printed design will usually give a better result, and embroidery can still be used for smaller crests or text.

Embroidery service in the UK

Leavers Hoodies Company UK provides embroidery service for clients across the UK. All our decoration is carried out in-house so we can keep a close eye on quality from first stitch to final despatch.

Business details:
Leavers Hoodies Company (Actifwear Ltd trading as Leavers Hoodies Company)
Unit 13 Courtyard Workshops, Bath Street, Market Harborough, LE16 9EW, United Kingdom

We work with schools, colleges, universities, sports clubs, and other group organisers nationwide. Orders, quotes, and questions can be handled quickly by phone, email, or via our website contact form during our weekday office hours.

Embroidery combined with print

Because we offer both embroidery and printing methods (screen printing, DTF and DTG printing), you don’t have to choose just one. A typical approach for leavers garments and tour hoodies is:

• Embroidered school crest or team logo on the front
• Large printed back design with names, numbers, or “LEAVERS” wording
• Optional extra text printed above or below the main leavers design (so long as it is the same on all garments)
  

We’ll recommend a decoration mix that suits your artwork, garment choice, and budget, aiming for a finish that won’t crack, peel, or fade with proper care.

Sizes, colours, and styles

Our embroidery service covers a wide range of garments and sizes, from primary age children through to adults. Size ranges vary by style, with some hoodies available up to 5XL.

You can choose from many colours across:

• Classic and college-style hoodies
• Varsity and trip sports hoodies
• Zipped and two-tone styles
• Selected jackets and fleeces

We can help you match school or club colours as closely as possible using downloaded colour options and Pantone references sent by email.

FAQs – embroidery service

Do you offer an embroidery service for leavers hoodies in the UK?

Yes. We provide an embroidery service for school, college, and university leavers hoodies across the UK, often combining an embroidered crest on the front with a printed leavers design on the back.

Can I have both embroidery and print on the same hoodie?

Yes. Many clients choose embroidery for the school crest or club logo on the front and printing for large designs, names, or numbers on the back or sleeves. We’ll advise the best combination for your artwork.

What garments are best suited to your embroidery service?

Embroidery works particularly well on cotton-blend hoodies, sweatshirts, varsity-style garments, and many jackets. For fleeces and some outerwear, we normally recommend embroidery rather than print because of the fabric texture.

Can you embroider individual names and initials?

Yes. We can add names, initials, nicknames, and numbers in addition to crests and logos, subject to the information you provide in your order list. This is popular for team wear, trip garments, and leavers hoodies.

How long does an embroidered order take to be delivered in the UK?

Once you have approved your proof and we have received payment or a school purchase order, delivery is typically 15–20 working days (around 2–3 weeks). Timing can vary slightly depending on order size and complexity, but we’ll always give you an estimated schedule.

Can you help design my embroidered logo or layout?

Yes. Our design team can work from your existing artwork or help you develop a new layout with your input. We’ll send a visual proof showing position and size so you can check everything before production.

Is there a minimum order for your embroidery service?

The minimum order for our standard leavers print is 20 pieces, as this uses screen printing. For embroidery-only or smaller quantities, we can discuss alternative options – contact us with your requirements and we’ll advise what is possible.

Can I see a sample before confirming an embroidered order?

Yes. We can provide plain garment samples so you can check style, size, and fabric. There is a charge for samples, which is refundable if they are returned in the same condition.

Do you provide embroidery service for sports clubs and university societies in the UK?

Yes. We regularly supply embroidered garments for sports clubs, teams, and university societies across the UK, including sports hoodies, tour garments, and university stash.
