MOQ is 100 pcs. Samples take 7 days. Bulk production lead time depends on order quantity.
Stitch density, Thread color, Puckering review, Placement consistency should be compared with the approved sample and packing requirements before release.
Embroidery suits logos, small text and textured branding. Fleece and French terry both take embroidery well, but stitch density must suit the fabric so the design does not pucker or feel stiff. Send vector or high-resolution artwork, the size in centimeters or inches and the exact placement.
Thread colors should be specified, ideally with color references. Very fine details may need simplifying to stitch cleanly.
For each artwork:
Check the sample for puckering, density, clean edges and color. Also check the inside for comfort. The MOQ is 100 pcs and samples typically take 7 days. Compare with screen print and puff print options, or read embroidery vs screen print hoodies in the resources section.
How small can text be? Very small lettering can lose clarity in stitches, so the sample is the best test. Can embroidery go on the hood or sleeve? Yes, but curved or narrow areas need careful placement. Mark the exact position and size on a sketch.
Common placements include the left chest, center chest, sleeve, hood side and lower back. A small chest logo with a larger back design is a popular combination.
Heavier fleece supports denser embroidery; lighter French terry may need a lighter design to avoid puckering. Approve on the actual fabric.
Embroidery backing sits inside the garment. On chest embroidery this is rarely noticed, but on hoods or necklines it can rub. Ask about soft backing or covering options for sensitive areas.
Thread sheen and weight change the look of embroidery. Matte threads suit tonal logos; brighter threads stand out. Specify your preference and approve on the sample.
Embroidery artwork is converted to a stitch file. Approve the stitched sample, not only the digital preview.
On zip hoodies, chest embroidery must sit clear of the zipper and placket; mark the distance from the zip on your sketch.
Embroidery gives fleece hoodies a stitched, textured finish, while puff print creates raised graphics with heat-expanded ink. Embroidery suits logos and defined shapes but can add stiffness or pucker fabric if stitch density and backing are unsuitable. Puff print suits bold artwork, though expansion can soften fine details and results depend on ink, curing and fleece surface. For China menswear OEM and private-label orders, approve a sample on the intended fabric and check appearance, hand feel and wash performance before bulk production. MOQ is 100 pcs; samples typically take about 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed. Bulk lead time depends on quantity.
Read the guide Production planningA production-ready hoodie decoration brief tells the factory what to reproduce, where to place it, how it should feel, and how it must perform after the agreed wash sequence. Start with editable artwork, a garment specification, measured placement diagrams, and a clear choice between screen print, puff print, embroidery, or a combination. Then approve strike-offs on actual fleece before authorizing bulk decoration. This guide helps B2B buyers turn a visual concept into measurable instructions for quoting, sampling, and inspection. MOQ is 100 pcs; samples take approximately 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed, while bulk timing depends on quantity.
