This letter embroidery uses dark grey-blue metallic flat thread, with horizontal stitching laid in tight, overlapping rows and crisp, upright lines that reveal a flowing metallic sheen as the light angle shifts — understated yet refined. The letterforms are clean and concise, well suited to brand identifiers or letter accents on garments and trims; this kind of metallic lustre is difficult for ordinary embroidery threads to achieve.
Optional techniques
Letter shapes, sizes and colourways can be adjusted to your artwork; the metallic thread can be swapped for gold, silver or coloured metallic thread; the base fabric can be dark or coloured; the finished piece can be made as a fabric patch or embroidered directly onto finished garments, headwear or bags.
Applications
Suitable for brand LOGOs and letter decoration on garments, footwear, headwear, bags and belts, as well as markings for uniforms and gift packaging. Metallic-thread lettering is common in accessible luxury, streetwear and business customisation.
Customisation process
Customised to your artwork or sample. Standard MOQ is 300 pieces; simple samples are free for 3 designs, while complex techniques incur a sampling fee that can be credited against the order once the MOQ is reached; standard sampling takes 24–48 hours, and complex techniques about 3–4 working days; bulk production lead time is 5–10 working days, with priority scheduling available for urgent orders.
Production capacity
Dobest has a 3,000 ㎡ factory and more than 30 specialised computerised embroidery machines, and can handle volume customisation of letter embroidery. Metallic-thread embroidery places high demands on thread tension, so letter proportions and sheen consistency are checked piece by piece before dispatch.
