The two things worth embroidering
Embroidered Polos & Hats
A logo on a chest and a logo on a hat do more brand work per dollar than anything else you can buy. Build both in the editor and see them on the actual garment.

A polo is the cheapest way to make a staff look like a staff. It reads as deliberate in a way a t-shirt does not, and embroidery is what separates a company polo from a polo somebody owns.
A cap is the highest-visibility item in the catalog. It sits at eye level, it gets worn off the clock, and it costs a fraction of a jacket. For most small businesses a run of embroidered caps outperforms almost any other branded item.
Flat embroidery is the default and works with any logo. 3D puff raises the stitching off the cap over a foam base for a bold, sporty look — it works beautifully on thick block lettering and badly on anything fine or detailed. If your logo has small text, flat is the right call.
Not sure which? Build the order and put the question in the job notes. We will tell you honestly which one your specific logo should use before we run it.
Most print shops ask you to email artwork and describe what you want. Then you wait, and hope the thing that shows up matches the thing in your head. We built the editor to delete that entire gap.
No phone calls. No paper forms. No guessing. Start your order and you will have a real price in about two minutes.
Up to 15 thread colors in a single design. Embroidery is priced by stitch count rather than by color, so a detailed multi-color logo does not automatically cost more than a simple one — a densely stitched small logo can cost more than a large open one.
Lower than screen printing, because there are no screens to burn. Build the job in the editor and it will price whatever quantity you enter — small runs of polos or caps are completely normal orders.
Yes. Individual names are priced per piece since each one is stitched separately. Put the name list in the job notes when you order and we will confirm the total before producing.
Build the job in the online editor and the price appears as you go. Change the quantity, ink colors, garment, or print locations and the number updates immediately.
There is no quote form and nothing to wait for. Most people have a real number inside two minutes.
15 pieces per design. Screen printing has fixed setup work — burning screens and registering the press — that happens whether you order 15 shirts or 500.
Need fewer? Switch the method to DTF in the editor. No minimum, full color, and a single shirt is a normal order.
Three things move the price: quantity, ink colors, and which blank you pick. More pieces and fewer colors means less per shirt. Screens are a one-time $30 per color, and we keep them on file so reorders skip that charge.
Rather than quote ranges at you, the editor prices your exact job live.
Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days. Rush runs 24–72 hours depending on the size of the run and what is on the press schedule.
Hard deadline — a game, an opening, a shift change? Put it in the job notes when you order and we will confirm in writing before we produce.
Yes. We mix plastisol to Pantone (PMS) numbers. Set your ink colors in the editor, and if you have official PMS codes put them in the job notes so we match to those rather than to our best guess.
Screen printing: PNG only. DTF, embroidery, and sublimation: PNG or JPG.
You upload the file directly in the editor and see it land on the garment immediately, so you know it worked before you order.
Because a JPG cannot store a transparent background. It fills transparency with white, and on press that white becomes a printed white box around your design. PNG keeps the background genuinely empty and holds the hard edges each screen needs.
If all you have is a JPG for a screen print job, send it to sales@a1aprintshop.com and our art department will convert it properly.
That is what sales@a1aprintshop.com is for. Send whatever you have — vector files, a PDF, a photo of something drawn on paper — and our art department turns it into a print-ready file.
Once it is ready you will have a PNG you can drop straight into the editor and order like anything else. The email route is for artwork only; ordering still happens in the editor.
Both. Free local pickup at the Fort Pierce shop. We ship nationwide, and shipping is calculated from your ZIP at checkout so nothing gets added afterward.
