So you want to reduce your costs

Embroidery works on stitch count, so the bigger the design the higher the cost.
Woven Inc runs, Two 12 head machines, Two 8 head machines, Two 4 head machines & Two Single Head machines.

Each head holds up to 15 colours to run with. So we dont price based off minimum runs as we can fit jobs on a number of different stations.
However, there are ways to cut costs, like:

Application:
We have different methods of embroidery from basic 2D embroidery which is the cheapest option. To 3D embroidery which requires a foam base. Along with Applique flock and layered embroidery using both 2D and 3D.
And finally badges and patches: these a high density stitch counts.

Size Of Design:
Reduce the size if possible, considering complex designs may restrict this choice. Background or infill stitches can enhance the look but also increase costs. Understand what suits your product type. Large embroideries are ideal for hoodies for better design retention. However, on a t-shirt, they may stress the garment.
A general logo will be priced at around 7K stitches which is a standard size for a left breast design and can take around 1 minute per thousand stitches. Guidance costing of £2.45 per unit. Where as a large design with 40K stitches will set you back roughly £16 per unit and can take approximately 30-50minutes depending on the size, detail and thread changes.

Multiple Colours:
Whilst having the free range to add in as many colours as you like this can also hinder production time and can be taken into consideration when pricing. Our machines can hold 15 thread colours at one time, but setting this up can take a long time.

Garment Choice:
When considering your budget you should be aware that 95% of our products have a different price and we charge of the daily unit provided from our supplier.

DTF: Direct To Film, unleash colorful designs with zero setup fees. Keep in mind that the print may not be as crisp as Screenprint and is pricier per piece.
However, there are ways to cut costs, like:

Print Size:
DTF is priced based of the size of design. Think about the size of the print if it can be reduced this will bring your costing down again. Why not take a look at our Applcation Sizes Page.

Print Colours:
Whilst there is no set up fees when using DTF, you can print as many colours and shades as you wish. When printing onto dark garments a higher volume of ink needs to be used to get the best print possible. Therefor printing onto white garments will give you a cheaper price per unit. For vibrant and detailed prints, opt for white garments to achieve the desired results without compromising on quality.
