Embroidery and Digitising Services

Sandre provides professional embroidery and logo digitising services for businesses, schools, sports teams and events across South Africa. With industrial machines, experienced digitisers and a full in-house production workflow, we deliver high-quality, durable branded apparel, from single-item requests to large corporate orders.

Our Embroidery Services

We specialise in corporate and promotional embroidery, including:

Logo embroidery on shirts, polos, jackets and blazers
Embroidered caps, bags, canvas and leather goods
School badges, emblems and sportswear branding
Bulk corporate uniform programmes and one-off items

All stitching is produced on industrial multi-head embroidery machines to ensure consistent quality and fast turnaround for bulk runs ~ the standard approach used by trusted South African suppliers.

Professional Digitising

Digitising is the essential process that converts artwork into a stitch file your embroidery machine can read. Proper digitising preserves logo detail, controls stitch density and optimises read-through on different fabric types. Sandre’s in-house digitising team prepares production-ready files in multiple machine formats so your logo embroideries come out precise and long-lasting. Industry digitising specialists recommend professional digitising to avoid poor stitch quality and excessive thread use.

production

Bulk runs are produced on industrial machines with quality checks at every stage.

Materials, Techniques & Applications

We match stitching techniques and stabilisers to the fabric and end use:

Soft knits (polo shirts, golf shirts): low-profile fills and underlay to prevent pull-through.
Outerwear (jackets, bombers): dense satin stitches and backing for durability.
Leather & canvas: reinforced bases and specialised needles to avoid damage.
Small details and emblems: micro-stitch techniques and quality thread for fine lettering.

This tailored approach is standard among leading embroidery houses in South Africa and ensures brand integrity across different materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does embroidery take?

After design approval, small jobs can be completed within days; larger corporate orders depend on quantity but are scheduled for reliable delivery.

What file formats do you need to digitise a logo?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best; we can work from high-resolution PNGs or JPEGs and will confirm if any adjustments are needed.
