Aldridge is our nearest neighbour. The unit is about 1.6 miles away in a straight line, and we share the WS9 end of Walsall borough with you. We work out of a unit at 38 Hall Lane, Walsall Wood, and everything we decorate is decorated there.
Decoration for Aldridge businesses
We embroider and print in our own studio at 38 Hall Lane, Walsall Wood, and Aldridge is one of the towns we work for most often. Nothing is sent out to a third party, and it never has been.
That sounds like a line about quality and it is really a line about drift. When decoration is subcontracted, the subcontractor changes, the thread changes, and the logo on this year's jackets does not quite match last year's. Doing it here is how a business in Aldridge gets the same logo in 2028 that it got in 2024.
No minimum order. One garment or one hundred, own garments or ours.
The four methods, and when each is right
Which method suits depends on the garment, the artwork and the run size, and we will say so if the one you asked for is the wrong choice for the job.
- Embroidery: stitched, hard-wearing, the default for polos, softshells and workwear that gets washed hard
- Screen print: cost per unit drops as the run grows, so it earns its setup on larger orders
- DTF (direct-to-film): full colour and fine detail without a screen, which makes short runs and complex artwork viable
- Heat transfer: names, numbers and one-offs, and the practical answer for personalising within a batch
Colour, artwork and getting the logo right
Embroidery threads are matched to your brand specification and print artwork is colour-managed to a PMS reference. If you have brand guidelines, send them with the enquiry and we will work to them rather than to a screenshot.
If there are no guidelines and no usable file, Newo Design is in-house and does logo and brand identity work, so artwork and garments come from the same place. A business in Aldridge starting from nothing does not need to go and find a designer first.
What we can decorate
Anything in the 3,160-product catalogue, and in many cases garments you already own. The range is trade-first: hi-vis at 309 lines, work gloves at 213, plus polos, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, fleeces, jackets, softshells, trousers, coveralls, caps and bags, in ladies fit as well as men's, from Blackrock, Supertouch, Warrior, CAT, Dickies, Helly Hansen Workwear, Portwest, Uneek, ORN, Regatta Professional and Mascot.
Sizing is the part that catches people out on a decorated order, because a branded garment is not a garment you can casually exchange. We publish fifteen manufacturers' own size charts for that reason, reproduced as the manufacturer wrote them rather than smoothed into one table.

Questions we get asked
- Is the embroidery and printing done in-house?
- Yes. Every garment is decorated under the same roof as the desk the order was taken at, and we have never outsourced decoration. That is why a polo stitched two years ago still matches one stitched this week.
- Which decoration methods do you offer?
- Embroidery, screen print, DTF (direct-to-film) and heat transfer. Which one suits depends on the garment, the artwork and the run size, and we will tell you if the one you asked for is the wrong choice.
- Do I need finished artwork before I order?
- No. Logo and brand identity work is done in-house by Newo Design, so a business starting from nothing can get artwork and decorated garments from the same place.
- Can you match our exact brand colours?
- Embroidery threads are matched to your brand specification and print artwork is colour-managed to a PMS reference. Send your brand guidelines with the enquiry if you have them.
- Can you decorate garments I already own?
- In many cases yes. Tell us what the garment is and we will say whether it will take the method you want.
- How far is your studio from Aldridge?
- About 1.6 miles in a straight line. We are at 38 Hall Lane, Walsall Wood, Walsall WS9 9AS, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
