Does the amount of colors matter when you are getting embroidered items?
No, the amount of colors does not matter when you are getting embroidered items. This is because embroidery is priced on the number of stitches and locations, not the number of colors. When considering this method of customization the thickness and size of a design determine the price, because the size and thickness are directly related to the thread count.
This is in direct contrast with screen printing in which the size of the print is completely irrelevant for the pricing, but in which the number of print colors has a huge impact on the price. Some times this can be the best reason to switch between the two different print methods when the option is possible.
That means that if you're interested in getting a small design printed, such a left chest style design, with a lot of colors in it then embroidery is a very good option. Embroidery is also a very high quality, professional looking way to customize your clothes. Typically embroidery is done on such items as polo shirts, button down shirts, hats, backpacks, and more.
Another thing to keep in mind is that while the number of colors in embroidery doesn't matter and will not impact the price we do still need to embroider in solid spot colors. What that means is that we cannot embroider a design that has a color gradient or blending effect in it. In other words we can have the logo blend from a light blue to a dark blue or other color. It would have to be single shades of colors with no blending. That is of course because the threads themselves are solid colors and there would be no way to get that color gradient effect.
Embroidery is super effective and long lasting, and its technology only continues to improve. If you're looking for a sharp, high quality looking design that is stylish and durable then embroidery is a great choice.
