Custom Embroidery in Westlake & Palm Beach County
Logo embroidery for business uniforms, polos, caps and jackets — plus names and personal gifts. Your design is digitized and stitched on our own embroidery machine in Westlake, FL.
Custom embroidery stitches your logo or text directly into the garment with thread, so it doesn’t crack, peel or fade the way some prints can. It is the most durable, professional-looking option for business uniforms, polos, caps and jackets. Crafty Media digitizes each design and stitches it in-house in Westlake, Florida, for customers across Palm Beach County.

Materials & products
Our Embroidery process, start to finish
Send your logo
Share your logo file (vector or high-resolution is best) and tell us the garments, placement and quantity.
Digitizing
Your artwork is converted into a stitch file — the machine instructions for stitch type, direction and density. Fine details are adjusted so they stitch cleanly at your chosen size.
Approve & stitch
You approve the design and thread colors, then each piece is hooped and stitched on our embroidery machine.
Finish & hand-off
Backing is trimmed, threads are cleaned up and every piece is checked before pickup or delivery is arranged.
Embroidery details
- Common placements
- Left chest, right chest, cap front, sleeve, back yoke
- Typical left-chest size
- Around 3–4 inches wide
- Smallest readable text
- Roughly ¼ inch tall — smaller letters lose legibility in thread
- Best artwork
- Vector (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) or a high-resolution PNG
- Care
- Machine washable; avoid ironing directly on the stitching
When it’s not the right choice
Photographic images, soft color gradients and very tiny text don’t translate well to thread. For full-color or photo-style artwork, DTF printing is usually the better choice.

Embroidery FAQ
What is embroidery digitizing and why does it matter?
Digitizing turns your logo into a stitch file that tells the embroidery machine where every stitch goes. Good digitizing is what makes a logo look sharp instead of puckered or blurry, and it is usually a one-time setup per logo and size, so reorders of the same design are simpler.
Can you embroider my logo on caps and polos for my business?
Yes. Caps, polos, work shirts and jackets are the most common embroidery orders we handle for businesses in Westlake and across Palm Beach County. We also put together uniform combos such as a polo plus a matching cap.
Is embroidery or printing better for work uniforms?
For logos on uniforms that get washed often, embroidery is usually the more durable and professional option. If your design has many colors, gradients or photo detail, DTF printing reproduces it more accurately.
Do you need my logo in a special file format?
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) give the cleanest results, but a high-resolution PNG or JPG also works. If you only have a screenshot or a low-resolution file, send it anyway and we’ll tell you whether it can be used or needs cleanup first.
How much does custom embroidery cost?
Embroidery pricing depends on stitch count (design size and detail), the number of pieces, the garments and placements. Send your logo, quantity and garment choice and we’ll reply with a real quote rather than a guess.
