A custom hoodie is the one piece of branded clothing people choose to wear on their day off. That is why clubs, businesses, schools, societies and event organisers order them more than any other garment we make. At CentralCustom we print and embroider hoodies with your logo, crest, names or artwork, from a single gift hoodie to a few hundred for a whole organisation.
Quick answer
Custom hoodies are hooded sweatshirts personalised with your own logo, text or design, either printed or embroidered. CentralCustom makes them in the UK with no minimum order, a free digital proof before anything is produced, and orders typically dispatched within 7–14 working days of proof approval.

Printed or embroidered: which suits your hoodies?
Most of the decision comes down to the design and how the hoodie will be used.
- Embroidery suits logos, crests and names on the chest or sleeve. It looks premium, survives years of washing and is the standard for staff and club kit. See our embroidered hoodies page for positions and garment advice.
- Printing suits large back designs, photographs, gradients and lists of names. DTF printing handles full colour on small runs; screen printing becomes the better value on bigger quantities with a few solid colours. Our printing service page explains each method.
- Both is a popular combination: an embroidered logo on the front and a printed design across the back.
Who orders custom hoodies from us
- Businesses and trades – warm, smart staff uniform that people wear outside work too. Our work hoodies for staff uniforms page covers workwear-grade options.
- Sports clubs – training and travel hoodies with the club crest, initials and squad numbers.
- Schools and colleges – PE kit, trip hoodies and, of course, leavers hoodies.

- Individuals – a one-off personalised hoodie as a gift, a hen or stag do, or a family reunion.
Choosing the hoodie itself
The base garment matters as much as the decoration. A heavier cotton-rich hoodie (around 280gsm) holds embroidery flat and feels substantial; a lighter polycotton is cheaper and fine for one-off events. Pullover hoodies are the default for clubs and schools, zip hoodies suit coaches and staff who layer up, and performance hoodies from sports brands give a training-wear finish. Browse the full hoodies and sweatshirts range to pick a style and colour.

Custom hoodies FAQ
Is there a minimum order for custom hoodies?
No. We print and embroider single hoodies as well as bulk orders. Larger quantities bring the unit price down, particularly for screen printing.
How long do custom hoodies take?
Orders are typically dispatched within 7–14 working days of you approving your proof. If you have a fixed date such as an event or a leavers' assembly, tell us when you request a quote so we can confirm it is achievable.
Can I have different names on each hoodie?
Yes. Send a spreadsheet with each name matched to a size, with spellings checked. Names can be printed or embroidered.
What file should I send for my logo?
A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is ideal, but a good-quality PNG or JPG is usually workable. We check every file and flag anything that will not reproduce well before you approve the proof.
Will the print or embroidery last?
Embroidery will outlast the hoodie itself. Quality prints last for many washes if you wash inside out at 30°C and avoid tumble drying on high heat.
Do you do zip hoodies and kids' sizes?
Yes. Our range includes pullover and zip styles, and most popular hoodies come in children's sizes as well as adult sizes.
