Quick answer: CentralCustom embroiders logos for businesses, clubs and schools in Cardiff and across South Wales. We are a division of Centralsports, a South Wales business with more than 40 years of experience, and all embroidery is done in-house.

If you have searched "embroidery near me" from Cardiff, Newport or the Valleys, you are probably after one of two things: a few garments with your logo on, or a full set of uniforms that all match. Both are what we do every day — polo shirts, hoodies, fleeces, softshells and caps with your name or logo stitched on, for a two-person firm or a 200-strong school.
Logo embroidery for Cardiff businesses, clubs and schools
Embroidery is the most durable way to put a logo on clothing. The design is stitched into the fabric with thread, so it does not crack, peel or fade the way a cheap transfer can. It is the standard choice for staff uniforms, club kit and school wear because it still looks right after a year of washing.
We stitch onto:
- Polo shirts and t-shirts — the everyday uniform for trades, hospitality and office teams. See our embroidered polo shirts for staff uniforms.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts — for staff, clubs and leavers. Browse custom embroidered hoodies or the full hoodies and sweatshirts range.
- Fleeces, softshells and gilets — the layer that gets worn most of the year in Wales.
- Workwear — work shirts, trousers and outer layers from our workwear collection. Cardiff firms kitting out a whole crew should also read our workwear Cardiff and South Wales page.
- School and club wear — badges on jumpers, cardigans and PE kit through our school uniform embroidery service.
Why choose CentralCustom for embroidery in South Wales
- In-house embroidery. Your garments are not sent out to a third party, so the people quoting you are the people stitching your order.
- No minimum order. Larger quantities bring the unit price down, but a sole trader ordering two polos is not turned away.
- Free digital proof. You see exactly where the logo sits and how big it is before a single stitch goes in.
- Your logo kept on file. Your design is digitised once and kept, so reorders and new starters are quick and you do not pay to set up the same logo twice.
- Honest advice on method. Some designs suit print better than stitch. If a fine-detail or photographic logo will not embroider cleanly, we will tell you and suggest printing instead.

Typically 7–14 working days from the point you approve your digital proof. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
