may be try a union place that works with making/printing/emb. uniforms/corporate etc in CO. .....they are not cheap cheap, but they put out quality work/corporate wear. Sort of like what you need.
Since many of our members are printers, we try to stay away from screen printing recommendation posts that might encourage self promotion.1. Is there a ONE company any one knows of who can do all of this at a good price?
For the stuff you listed:2. Is embroidering DIRECTLY onto this stuff going to be prohibitively expensive, and would patches sewn on be a more realistic option?
If cost is a concern, then when you create the design, you may want to try to keep it to 1-2 colors for the quantity he is trying to do. If cost isn't a concern, they go for it3. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Right, of course, but if he wants to max out that amount, then I want to get as much quantity as I can for him (whilst keeping quality in mind). Being as he IS my brother, I plan on searching VERY thouroughly for the best deal.Comin'OutSwingin said:If $1,500 is his budget, I don't think you would have a problem getting all of that done with $1,500.
If you go to a large screenprinter they may well be able to provide you with all the different services you require (i.e. embroidery as well as printing). Even if they can't do the embroidery for you, there's a good chance they can recommend someone who can.Swing Easy said:1.

As far as I understand it with embroidery you have the digitisation cost to get the artwork ready for stitching, and then the per product cost. I believe the digitising is quite expensive, and the per item cost quite cheap. So in other words you have a high setup, but then a cheap per item if you want to keep getting more done. I don't believe it's any cheaper to get it done onto patches than to do directly.Swing Easy said:2.

Sometimes you can get the digitizing done pretty cheaply (or free) depending on the complexity of the logo and the size of the embroidery order.As far as I understand it with embroidery you have the digitisation cost to get the artwork ready for stitching, and then the per product cost.
