The Shirt.co Advantage: Precision at Scale
We Are a Reliable Contract Embroidery Company

We have eliminated the common failures of high-volume embroidery—puckering, thread-nesting, and misalignment—by investing in the world's best technology. You send us your artwork and blank product, and we deliver high-quality embroidered products with precise work and master craftsmanship.

30 Tajima Stations

We utilize the industry standard in high-performance equipment. This allows us to run multiple large-scale jobs simultaneously without compromising on speed.

Near-Zero Spoilage

While other contract embroidery companies accept standard 1-3% spoilage, we strive for zero. If a garment isn’t perfect, we correct it before it leaves our St. Louis facility.

Master Digitizing

The foundation of a great contract embroidery service is the file. Our master digitizers optimize your artwork specifically for the fabric substrate, ensuring a "soft-hand" feel.
