Black Friday isn’t just for big-box stores and online giants anymore. If you’re a local Omaha business, school, or organization, it’s actually one of the best times of the year to lock in your branded apparel, spirit wear, and client gifts—at a serious discount.
So, you’re ready to level up your branded apparel or promo products—but which decorating method should you choose: embroidery or screen printing?
Alright, let’s talk about something that can take your event marketing from “meh” to “memorable”: custom apparel. Those t‑shirts, hats, hoodies, and totes aren’t just fabric—they’re walking, talking, buzz-creating machines for your brand.
If you think embroidery is just about flat logos and basic monograms, think again! The world of custom embroidery has exploded with new techniques and materials that take your designs to a whole new level.
Embroidery patterns can look like a foreign language when you’re new to machine embroidery. Don’t worry—you don’t need a secret decoder ring. Once you know what to look for, reading and interpreting patterns becomes a breeze
So you’re ready to dive into the world of machine embroidery—welcome to the club! If you’ve ever peeked into a professional embroidery shop (or, you know, RM Custom Screen Printing), you’ve probably seen some high-tech machines humming away, turning digital designs into stitched masterpieces.
When it comes to promotional products, longevity is everything. You want your branded merch to be worn, used, and—most importantly—remembered.
If you’re looking for a way to give gifts that are truly memorable (and never re-gifted!), personalized embroidery is the answer. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, baby shower, graduation, or just because, custom-stitched gifts show you went the extra mile.
