Why choose embroidery
Embroidery is one of the most durable and premium branding methods available.
A professional, elevated finish
Clean, premium stitching that lifts front-of-house and kitchen teams alike.
Long-lasting stitching
Durable embroidery that stands up to commercial laundering and daily wear.
Strong brand presentation
A premium look suited to restaurants, cafés, hotels and events.
Texture you can feel
Raised thread reads as considered and expensive in a way flat print cannot.
Works on headwear
Caps, beanies and visors take embroidery cleanly — most print methods cannot.
No colour limits on cost
Multi-colour logos cost the same to stitch as single-colour ones.
From artwork to doorstep
Five steps, no surprises. Tap through to see exactly what happens at each one.
Step 1 of 5
Send us your logo
Share your logo in JPEG, PNG, PDF or a high-resolution vector format and tell us which garments you need.
- Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) give the cleanest stitch
- Raster files should be at least 1000px wide
- Tell us your deadline up front
Step 2 of 5
We prepare your mockup
Our team digitises the artwork into a stitch file and sends a visual mockup showing size and placement on the actual garment.
- Placement, size and thread colours all confirmed
- Changes at this stage cost nothing

Before you send your artwork
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) give the cleanest stitch. A high-resolution PNG or JPEG usually works too — send what you have and we will tell you if it needs redrawing.
Fine detail and small text are the limits of embroidery, not size itself. Below about 5cm we may simplify very thin elements so the stitching stays crisp — we always show you that on the mockup first.
We match to the closest available thread colours and show them on your mockup. Thread is not printed ink, so an exact Pantone match is not always possible — but it is usually very close.
No — it is a one-off per design. Once your artwork is set up we keep the file, so repeat orders using the same logo skip the fee entirely.
Yes. Quantity tiers are counted across the whole order, so jackets, aprons and polos all count toward the same volume break.
Often, yes — send us the garment details and we will confirm. On larger runs we ask for a test piece first, since we cannot accept responsibility for customer-supplied stock.
No. Prices shown exclude GST and delivery — your written quote shows both.
Send your logo, garment selection and quantity to sales@acechefapparels.com.au, or use the quote form. We reply with a mockup and a fixed price.
No match — email sales@acechefapparels.com.au and we will answer it.
