Embroidered Emblem Brochure 2010
LowProfile™ embroidered emblems are manufactured without merrowed over-lock
borders and therefore have a lower profile texture. They are typically cut to
shape by hand or by using a hot-knife or laser cutter, and are often fully
embroidered. Like regular custom embroidered emblems, LowProfile™ emblems are
also created using 100% polyester threads and materials and can be finished with
either a high-melt industrial grade glue coating or a low-melt commercial grade
glue coating for heat seal application. When heat sealed to garments they take
on the appearance of direct embroidery. They can also be backed with Velcro®
material, a pressure sensitive stick-on backing or a non-woven fabric for hand
or sew-on application. LowProfile™ emblems can be equipped with accessory items
such as button loops, butterfly clutch pins, grommets...

Emblems have a thin stitched border compared to a merrowed edge.Similar to
traditional embroidered emblems, LowProfile™ emblems can be distinguished by the
fact that they are not produced with a merrowed (surge over-lock) border, but
rather a thin stitched border. This format gives the emblems a "lower profile
texture" and more subtle appearance. "Close-cut" in odd shapes, these emblems
are better suited for specific free-form designs often providing a truer
representation of a given corporate logo, with a lighter weight, blended feel.
LowProfile™ emblems work best when heat-sealed to caps, golf shirts, career
apparel garments, service uniforms and sporting goods of all types. They are
also a perfect sew-on option when emblems are needed in military, volunteer and
scouting environments.
Manufactured with 100% polyester threads and fabrics, designs can be partially
embroidered allowing for some background fabric to show through, or they can be
fully embroidered as the design warrants. These emblems can be backed by
high-melt or low-melt film coatings, or manufactured with no glue at all. When
applied by heat seal machine, LowProfile™ emblems can even simulate direct
embroidery to some extent, depending on design configuration and colour
combination. And unlike direct embroidery, they can be removed!
Designs submitted to BCTI will be presented to you in artwork format for

emblems can now be equipped with 15 design colours, up from 9 with no extra
