EmbroidMe Dunedin - Our Work

Rustic Charm


I love the challenge of getting a complex logo looking like a million bucks in the embroidery medium. It's satisfying seeing results like this for the awesome team at Shingle Creek Collectables for their new apparel. The combination of the logo and materials like denim and pique knit cottons create a modern rustic look that suits the their brand and brings a great dynamic to the overall look. Not only does it look good but all garments have good functionality for their purpose - that cotton really helps in the Central Otago summer.


Special Interest Groups


I love being able to get creative with the seed of an idea and the St Kilda Venturer unit allowed me a little bit of free reign on this project. My brief was to retain the group colours as much as possible but find a way to identify the unit clearly while keeping the idea young and fresh (quite a challenge for an old bird like myself).
The colours are not a standard combination with most suppliers so we had to work with a base of a clear blue hoodie and create the contrast with the print. The fleur-de-lis is such a well known scouting symbol that it needed to be included in some capacity but the traditional print of it is in marked contrast with the design we were aiming for so this idea was born.
What the group now have is a hoodie their peers are a little bit jelly of, is warm, functional and when they go out on community service they work that distinctive brand.


Multimedia Extravaganza


The Ahipoutu team have been expanding on an outstanding initial idea and we're excited to see the 'what next' every time they come in.
A combination of traditional cultural designs and concepts married up with fully embracing the technology available to us and the latest offering we have moved on to tone-on-tone embroideries creating a stunning textural difference between fabric and embroidery as well as a multi-toned thread giving the finished embroidery the look of paua. Throw in some DTF prints, some lazer cut letters and you have a recipe for a job everyone was proud to hand over and a very happy customer.


Dressed For Success.....Success


The 2023 Dress For Success campaign saw a local Dunedin charity win one of the $1000 branded apparel packages. The volunteer team is vast so a lot of time was spent making sure the funds would be spent in the most impactful way possible while keeping to the national brand guidelines.
The team at Dunedin Riding For The Disabled look amazing in their new kit and they were able to direct more funds towards their charity work with their uniform taken care of by EmbroidMe.


Otaaaaaago Highlanders


We have enjoyed a long history in support of the Highlanders here at EmbroidMe Dunedin so we've seen a few ideas come through production for over a decade. We loved this simple addition to the playing kit last week in homage to our brave ANZACs this last week.
Out the door in a special edition run of EmbroidMe bags.


Quirky Is Good


We honestly love the quirky ideas that come from some of our creative friends out there. We love how you come with a clear vision of an idea; a passion for fabrics; a willingness to utilise our experience and an open mind to create the best possible end product.

Quirky is good! It creates memorable pieces like these denim jackets which have huge retail potential. From original pieces to fan-art we had a ball helping more than a few aspiring fabric artists work towards their design dream in 2023.


It's not always about the caps and beanies


Especially now the sun is shining at long last we often head out on the golf course for a casual stroll with the occasional satisfying 'thwack' of a golf ball (I got that word from Dr Seuss, I believe). I've tried a few hats for the occasion of hunting in the rough when, indeed, the ball is in the trees/water hazard/sand pit/behind me/golf course next door and I find myself pondering my choice of headwear for keeping the sun off the delicate complexion. We've seen an increase is specialty headwear coming through that is tailored specifically for golfers and these two beauties have done a few rounds of golf between them about the country over the summer already. A great way of getting your brand onto the heads of some great ambassadors who are taking their time ambling about a well manicured lawn with holes in it.


Customised Printing


Oh No!!! Only 4 pages left of my favourite wee notepad! And what a truth it tells - I joked with a lady taking bloods just yesterday that I might still have some blood in my caffeine system if she was lucky.
We all know endorphins make the world go around and the only word that consistently beats hearing or seeing our own name is the word SALE (oooh, that got my pulse going just seeing it) so it makes sense that if you wanted to give the gift of a heady dose of endorphins then customised gifts are a great idea. I mean, I HAVE notepads, lots of them, and they all have a use but I save this one for little personalised notes going out that require a bit of *bling*.
I'll be working on getting a few more of these printed - who's with me?


DTF Printing


What a game-changer! DTF printing (direct-to-film) has been an amazing addition to our branding arsenal these last few years. This branding method has filled the void between affordable full colour printing and hard wearing garment prints quite nicely. With low minimums and the ability to replicate fine detail these are gaining in popularity.

Teamwear never looked so good.


A Little Bit Of Everything


Some brands we've been with for a number of years and being involved in the evolution of the brand is an awesome part of what we do. From concept to finished product our design team are experienced in their area of expertise to create a brand for every item.
This bundle of items was great to see out the door recently as the most recent incarnation of the logo is slick, eye catching and incredibly versatile.


The Fun Stuff

The result is a distinctive tee that the customer couldn't be happier with. This visual symphony will debut somewhere around the Pacific Islands on a large floating city - how cool is that?" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons">

Our design team often get a project that makes them smile but the chance to press a whole lot of fluro on a tee with the only direction being, "fun, funky 80's tee with loads of colour" was a challenge they gladly took to.
The result is a distinctive tee that the customer couldn't be happier with. This visual symphony will debut somewhere around the Pacific Islands on a large floating city - how cool is that?


Working With A Dunedin Institution


We are proud to associate ourselves with a Dunedin icon; nay, INSTITUTION such as Monarch Wildlife Cruises in supplying their crew with their uniforms. This year we're seeing the shift from the traditional colours associated with the business to 'Atlantic' which is a wonderfully vibrant dark teal colour and really makes a statement.
Reckon the local albatross will be sure to get a closer look when these go out on the boat - probably a good time to book your wildlife cruise with them.


Local Focus


It's very fulfilling working with local organisations when we have a hand in getting comforting wee gems like these into the hands of those going through a rough time. Living in the flight path of the Otago Rescue Helicopter I know how many people are assisted by this amazing service, how many of those involve kids (whether directly or indirectly) and just how scary an experience it might be.
Special Rigs For Special Kids do amazing things not the least of which is making sure those kids who come into contact with this emergency service have something comforting to hold onto at when all is chaos and unknown around them.
We take our hats off to the team who organise and run Special Rigs For Special Kids - an awesome group of volunteers doing great things.


Puff Embroidery


Our team are hungry for knowledge and with that in mind have been working away in the background to teach themselves little tips and tricks to get a great puff embroidery result.
The results speak for themselves and the team are excited to be able to add this to our repertoire of branding methods.


Industry Awards


OK, due to some lousily timed weather we didn't quite make it to conference this year. The perks of living so close to the southern ocean I reckon.
BUT while we weren't there some of our work was doing the talking for us and EmbroidMe Dunedin was fortunate enough to bookend another worthy recipient with 1st and 2nd in the embroidery awards.
Our first place award is for a challenging little piece that required re-imagining the original at a fraction of the size, being hooped twice (carefully) and mid-embroidery thread changes.
Third was a little less complicated although required thinking outside of the box for a unique gift idea for a family combining their two halves into their first home together.
Needless to say we were stoked with the finished product for both - enough to enter them for consideration amongst our peers and come away with these little beauties.
Whakawhetai


Font Boards


When time affords we often refresh some of our visible guides and examples in the showroom - well, we've been here 16 years and counting so some might say it's about time. This little project has been in the planning these last three years but there are always other things that need doing so it's been sitting in the naughty corner since we got out of lockdown.
The font boards were looking a little threadbare and the fonts looking tired so we've really jooshed them up by picking out some new favourites as well as the old faithful. New colour ideas as well - even the odd surprise.


Xmas Giveaways


It's always important to walk the talk and we're no exception to the rule ESPECIALLY when it comes to Christmas gifting.
I always say get in early to secure the best stock and then often leave it until the last minute myself so this year we are on the ball and we've picked up an absolute pearla!

At a time when plastic is a bad word and every consumer decision needs careful consideration the Trends Keepsake range is on pointe. These will be going out to some of our top customers for 2023 and suddenly I have a hankering for cheese. I promise - we haven't taken all the stock.


Empowering Women


I admit it's great to see more and more specialist uniform options coming through that aren't just a women's cut of a men's style.
Women don't want to sit on the sidelines while they grow a little human - we want to keep working but maybe be a little more comfortable while doing it. Maternity scrubs are nothing new but our big suppliers are working to make sure they have more maternity options available.
Acknowledging and catering for cultural requirements is also happening across the sector and medical grade Hijab's are a welcome addition as well as long sleeved tops that work with wearing scrubs to maintain modesty.


Celebrating The Team


While it's great to be able to celebrate the successes of our wider community we also love to celebrate the successes and milestones of our own team as well (particularly if that milestone includes savouries for morning tea).
This morning we celebrated Anne being our super amazing onsite screen printer for 10 years later in the week. With the world the way it is 10 years in one job and being such an integral part of the team culture is nothing to sneeze at (don't say 'sneeze' never say 'sneeze').

Anne is held in high regard by everyone here with her willingness to share her wealth of knowledge about all things to do with screen printing and muck in in other areas just to help move big jobs along. Everyone should have an Anne in their lives...just sayin'.

Love your mahi Anne!


Screen Print Extraordinaire


I'm not tooting my own horn here - we have established my complete ineptitude in this specialised area of our industry. HOWEVER. We DO have some mighty talented folk working behind the scenes at EmbroidMe so that you tell me how awesome your job turned out once you see it. Not to worry, we do pass these platitudes onto those that truly deserve it.

Going forward we are going to have a 'meet the team' series that is a little bit different because the team are publicity shy. It's going to be awesome to get to know the team a little better but wanted to show off a little project one of them worked on recently. I've never wanted a tee so badly!
Screen printed using...ink
Printed on....cotton
Modelled by......table


Band Merch


Not to say we've never done band merch before but I have to admit this is the longest distance I've worked with a group to put together their band tees for a local tour schedule. Coupled with the fact it's a legit bluegrass band and my interests are piqued.

Their tour starts in February and takes the band around New Zealand - if you have the chance to take in one of their shows while they're here I highly recommend you check out the merch tent. These have a hardy, full colour DTF print front and back so will look great long after the event and will be an awesome keepsake.


New Zealand Curling


What a great bunch of athletes! The NZ Under 20 womens curling team not only have to qualify for the world champs, find time to practice, fund their way to the other side of the world just before Christmas but also organise last minute travel uniforms. With the help of their amazing sponsor, Gilberts Fine Foods, we worked on a lightening quick, inexpensive and classy option for the team as they headed away to represent New Zealand over the weekend.

These young women are all class as they remembered to snap us a quick pic of the team looking awesome in their comfortable travel gear.
Best of luck team!!


Fine Merino Blankets


Our customer came to us looking for something woolen and luxurious as a gift for their franchisees after a hard-fought year. We have a few ranges to choose from but the Po de Fame corporate range had the perfect merino blanket which is being embroidered under urgency so these can be distributed around the country at pace on their completion.

I couldn't wait to show you since this is the first one I've had in store to feel the quality and it is stunning! The fibres are beautifully fine and these have a great feel for a merino blanket. Add to that the gorgeous gift presentation box, these franchisees are going to be stoked with their Xmas prezzie this year and we're pretty proud to be involved in that process too.


Saving The World!


It's great to see a strong movement towards taking responsibility for where our corporate gifting items are coming from and what impact they will have in their end-of-life phase. You are all amazing keeping up with how we can lessen our environmental impact and holding those big producers to account.

Our suppliers are responding with environmental policies and initiatives that are going to make a real and quantitive difference in the long run and that has come down to consumer pressure to step up their game.

Go team! Love your work:)


Industry Recognition


EmbroidMe Dunedin broke out the gladrags for the annual EmbroidMe NZ group awards dinner on Saturday night in windy Wellington (was quite breezy indeed). Hot on the heels of a great conference on the waterfront Jo and Rob picked up an award for being great team players, doing good work looking after fellow franchisees and the brand.

The best bit? Being able to talk with other owners from about the country and pick up some great ideas for making the customer experience even better again. There are some amazingly smart, talented, driven owners we could learn a lot from even after 15 years in the biz and the brand is in great hands for the next 15 years.

Respect to our sponsors for the event - Fashion Biz, JB's Wear and Tuapeka Gold Print. You guys ROCK!


Christmas Gifting Time


I love it when, every year around this time, our suppliers let us in on new items that will be available for the end-of-year corporate gifting rounds. It's like Christmas comes a little earlier for me because they really do have access to some awesome ideas that just get better each year.
Want to help your clients maintain their caffeine system with a thermal mug? What about a gorgeous engraved serving/grazing platter? Lazy susan (I have nothing against anyone called Susan nor any perception on how active/inactive they might be), back yard croquet set, fire pit, retro cooler case, picnic mat...the list goes on.
Anything and everything branded up and working for you while you enjoy some down-time over the Christmas break. Browse our website, by all means, but definitely talk to our team about what you need and we can work out the perfect idea for your brand and budget.


Not Just Any Notebook


The awesome team at Duncan NZ know their beans! When it comes to venison production, from breeding to sales, their producers and customers are well represented by the team at Duncan.
On this occasion they were after some black notebooks which might seem like an easy task but there are certain qualities their customers need from a notebook that not all notebooks have. Fortunately the crew at Trends are great at making sure we have access to physical samples so we got our noses right in to the spines and hunted down the perfect notebook.
It wasn't easy but the finished product is beautiful with that classy, debossed finish was well worth the effort.


Mackenzie Half Marathon


Which reminds me - I MUST actually register for this THIS week. Got the t-shirts all sorted and our design team are onto the set up for us - the team is all sorted and ready to get our feet wet.....in the High Country.....in the middle of winter. But hey, we'll look the part.
Let's just say that if you're there, you won't miss us and you should be looking for Wally's ;)

Ask us how you can get your team noticed amongst a crowd of colourful characters. I love that our team here in Dunedin are great at coming up with ideas that take event tees to the next level.


A Great Comparison


From EVERYONE at EmbroidMe Dunedin" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons">

I once heard a great way to tell if a restaurant is any good is if their former employees will happily eat there.
If, after nearly 15 years in the biz, I still get a little thrill from receiving a parcel of promotional products in the post then I can see a correlation with that adage in our industry too.
The parcel that arrived from EmbroidMe Newmarket as a small token of appreciation for any part we played in helping them achieve the outstanding milestone of 10 years was a delightful surprise that put a smile on my dial and I deal with these sorts of things every day.

Imagine putting your brand in front of potential customers who have just had that shot of endorphins getting a free gift. You've just created a positive impression that gives you a great opportunity to start a business relationship that is already off on the right foot.

I think what I am trying to say is, "Yes please waiter - I would like to see the wine list. Chin chin EmbroidMe Newmarket; happiest of birthdays to you and a toast to 10 years!".

From EVERYONE at EmbroidMe Dunedin


Pen Solutions


Our customer really, really wanted some nice pens but working within a tight budget (as it sometimes goes with committees). We found this discontinued colour in a fantastic pen that worked perfectly plus at a great rate if they took the remaining stock.

Happy to help our customer look outside of the box to get the perfect fit for them and these look a million dollars.


Early Birds


The swallow is traditionally the bird that heralds the onset of spring (in the UK anyway) and is an occasion that helps lift the spirits.
On this occasion the timing might be a bit coincidental or serendipitous but with the relaxation of the rules around outdoor gatherings Leith Harrier Club couldn't have timed it better (and is much like the first notes of birdsong after a long winter).

The lucky runners hitting the starting line this weekend no longer have to have staggered starting times so the club are busy rearranging their plans but one thing they don't have to worry about are the t-shirts for the crew or finishers - those are all sorted and looking outstanding (mostly due to our screen printer extraordinaire who has been flat out like a lizard drinking to get these finished.

Enough of the animal analogies; it's time to dust off our feathers (someone stop me please) and get out amongst it again.


Design A Tee


We've been a bit grumpy lately (the world is hardly lining up to give us good news every day) so we've decided to take the bull by the horns and go find our own happiness. * Yay! Go us!*

Thus the twinkling of a plan developed and we are pleased to announce the inaugural Design-A-Tee competition.
Go to our Facebook pace and enter your little bit of unrealised comedy and you could WIN your design on a t-shirt.

Remember to keep it (mostly) clean and (mostly) unoffensive if you're confident in skirting that fine line but all designs will be put to the sword with our panel of t-shirt experts and a Laugh-O-Meter - oooh, hi-tech stuff.
Get your entry in by Friday the 8th of April - yes, this year - follow the instructions and you're in with a chance.


This Hot Mess


Many, many years ago our client (Friend 1) and a pal (Friend 2) were aspiring clothing designers ready to take on the world with a sewing machine and a bundle of leather scraps. They were also 10 and had no focus or direction (her words, not mine) so gave up on this dream shortly afterwards.

Friend 2 sent this bundle of scraps to friend 1 some years later for a bit of a laugh; which then got duly filed away in a box of keepsakes. Friend 1 found these recently and has decided to do something a bit spesh for friend 2's upcoming birthday involving this 'outfit' and a bit of help from EmbroidMe Dunedin.
I can't share the finished product and all people involved could either be real or imaginary.....and I just can't say any more but can definitely say that these 30 + year old bits of leather will finally become part of a modern, wearable outfit incorporating garments from our collection.


Corduroy!


Don't tell me you're not impressed to see corduroy buckets making a comeback - I'll hold off on telling you about the flannel ones for today just to put the brakes on the palpable excitement.

These puppies are stunning and yep, that's genuine, 100%, legit corduroy there. Even better....we can embroider that up a treat and get your brand onto the heads of those that love a bit of nostalgia.


Autumn Showers


I might be wrong but after the 'summer' we've had I suspect it's going to be a damp autumn as well. Umbrellas are a great way to get your brand out in front of a wide audience because just about everyone who receives one is going to pop it somewhere handy for those rainy days and USE it.
Mine is yellow. Not like a subtle lemon colour but YELLOW!! (yes, capitals AND exclamation marks kind of yellow) with a fantastic EmbroidMe logo printed on four panels just in case it was looking too subtle still.
It certainly does as it promises and gets noticed

Touch base if you were thinking about something a little different for getting your brand out there this season.


Badges


Someone recently asked why I am a Scout Kaiarahi (Mentor) which gave me reason to look into my own motivations.
Sure, there's the joy of teaching outdoor skills to our youth; of helping these young folk become more self aware and see the value in being community minded; of knowing they go on to become leaders in their own lives.......But getting BADGES is pretty cool too. :)

Our youth have been organising a 'survival' camp so something we could do to help was make these amazing badges those that attend can sew onto their Scout blankets. The process of making something so customised is a lot of fun and incredibly rewarding.

If you have an inkling of an idea - pop in and see the team. There is not often a problem that can't be solved with a bit of creativity.


Proudly Supporting the Highlanders


Something we're immensely proud of here at EmbroidMe Dunedin is our ongoing support of the Otago/Southland Highlanders. Around this time every year the kit arrives in and it's all hands on deck to get the branding for the year on and back out the door for the team to be kitted out. With the Super Rugby 'bubble' this year the timeframes have been even tighter but the team are well attired and wearing their major sponsors' logos on the 2022 kit.

Looking forward to this year's campaign getting underway!


Shop Local


It's that time of year again when we realise we HAVE left the Christmas shopping until the last minute AGAIN. Resolve to do better next year.
The local produce and artisan markets are a veritable smorgasbord of gift-giving-delight and I have enjoyed supporting these amazing people and seeing what awesome talents our little corner of the world has.
Stall holders have been out in force making sure their stands get noticed by making customised table cloths, aprons, caps and polos to take their brand to the next level. We've loved talking to every one of them about their 'why' and help with making sure what they wear is on point and on brand.
Merry Christmas from us all at EmbroidMe Dunedin


What A View!


I thought I'd give a little background into the photo that generates so much interest amongst you all when you call in.

A number of years ago our lovely neighbours built a shed. It's a magnificent shed but black iron is not much of a view when you're standing at the counter looking around. I kept telling them that I'd like the view from their first floor window out along the harbour on a gorgeous dunnerstunner day without really expecting to see this view turn up one day. The chaps positioned it in a prime viewing location so that lots of folks comment on how realistic it looks. It's particularly impressive when the light hits it just so and the harbour appears to glow.

I can't recommend the team at Speedy Signs Dunedin enough for giving me my view that fascinates all who glance up at it.


Health And Safety


I love these Bump Caps!! Such a great idea in environments where you need SOMETHING but not necessarily the whole hard-hat shebang (but we can help you with all PPE requirements including hard hats). Hi-viz or not hi-viz these are a good way to keep your noggin safe for those in-between work spaces.
Our safety conscious clients are happy they will have these so they can go onsite and still be compliant but comfortable.


WIN $2,000 Worth of Branded Gear!


To celebrate the 15th birthday of EmbroidMe in New Zealand we are giving away a fantastic prize pack. Check out our Dress For Success campaign running until Monday the 6th of December 2021.
Follow the link to register your business and go into the draw to WIN!


Custom Woven Ties


What we can achieve for our customers often boggles the mind. We could embroider some ties, dye sublimate some ties (also nice) or we can get an order of custom woven - yes, woven into the fabric - ties that are a wonderfully classy way to have your logo in the public eye. These were for a special interest group but we can cater to sports clubs, corporates, conferences with a style to suit everyone.
These ties were picked up this afternoon and are going out to a great bunch of folks.


Beachlands Season


It's great to see Beachlands Motor Speedway kicking into gear for the season again. The drivers live to race but they love earning these winners sashes when they can too.
We've been making these for the Speedway for years but there's nothing like the first run of the season to remind us summer is just around the corner.


Branding


Every once in a while something comes along to revolutionize the branding industry. Sometimes it takes a little bit of learning and adjustment but Supacolour is one of those other revolutions that makes life much simpler and meshes in with existing techniques for a seamless transition.

Stunning full colour prints we can transfer to the garment of your choosing with outstanding savings and great durability.
Traditional screen printing still has it's place as does vinyl heat transfers but this combines the two for an option that suits full colour in large quantities.


Face Masks


We've likened it to covert dealings in elicit substances when all the EmbroidMe's in NZ are messaging each other asking who knows who has face mask supplies...how much they are....who has a pre-order going through for masks coming in soon...are they adjustable?

But because of this fantastic network of committed owners we are sourcing face masks where sometimes there seems to be none and are going flat out like a lizard drinking to get these branded and out to those businesses keen to keep their staff and clients safe in the new level 2.5.

Jacinda might be proud as punch of her team of 5 million but I'm super-proud of our team of stores across New Zealand for helping each other out and making sure everyone is doing OK no matter what alert level they're sitting at.


Proud Supporters


For two years we've been deep in planning for the Scout camp to end all Scout camps for our little group. One part we wanted to deliver on was a commemorative hoodie for the participants - lucky, lucky we should know someone who does exactly this sort of thing. With a generous sponsorship from Aurora Clothing we were able to customise the hood linings and keep our tight budget in check. The youth were super stoked to get their hoodies at the beginning of camp and, by all reports, it's been darn hard to get them to put these in the wash since then. A definite upside was being able to see, at a glance, where all of our youth were.
The team looked MIGHTY sharp as we took Fairlie/Lake Takapo (Tekapo) by storm......just before the real storm hit.


Corporate Gifting


Making sure your business name is the first people think of when considering who to contact for goods and services is always a challenge. Thanks to Trends and EmbroidMe this can be as simple as a conversation around appropriate corporate/workplace gifting.
This week sees some rather special keyrings making their way into race packs for the Impact Plumbing Surf to Stadium run/walk and we're pretty proud of the outcome - we worked with the tight budget and turnaround time to come up with something applicable to the event and immensely useful after the fact as well. Happy running you wonderful/crazy kids! Think I'll sleep-in instead.


Smart Mid-Layers


Living in Dunedin we learn to layer up against the cold because it's not always about being super cold - we all joke about 4 seasons in one day but it's not far from the truth sometimes.
Check out all our super awesome mid layers offering all the comforts of extra warmth but with the flexibility of being just a light jacket.


Full Customisation

Just a little bit proud of what our team can accomplish when set a challenge like this....and the customer is thrilled at the outcome. If our dog was not beyond redemption we would have the little blighter there in a heartbeat." class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons">

We were given a text logo and photo of a beloved pet for our next project. "Can you make him look like a dog but with embroidery?" We sure can! He'll look fabulous by the time we finish. A wee peek at the finished result....and yes, that dog is 100% embroidered.
Just a little bit proud of what our team can accomplish when set a challenge like this....and the customer is thrilled at the outcome. If our dog was not beyond redemption we would have the little blighter there in a heartbeat.


Anti-Racism


I had a phone call last night from a young lady who had been the subject of abusive language based around the colour of her skin on the sports field and agreed that taking a stand was in order.
It was time to put the thinking cap on - it needs to be a call to action, catchy, hash tagged if necessary: F.A.R.T - Footballers Against Racist Taunts! No call to action; funny, but not quite what we're aiming at.
You kiss your mother with that mouth? notmysport - hmm, still not quite the call to action we need.
Talked some more and came up with a classic
Stand Against Racism - NoMoreRacismInSport. Get behind it folks - share that hashtag about. No-one should be expected to put up with that sort of hate speech while doing a sport they enjoy and EmbroidMe stands behind this team on this 100%..


Zippies


Need to add a distinctive edge to your team's jackets this year. Ever thought of using your zip pullers to do that for you? We have a range of zippies to choose from at EmbroidMe - come in for a chat about what it is you want to achieve with your team/work wear.


Event Tees


This weekend the second Mackenzie Half Marathon will be ran (or walked)! Just for something a little different this team had a set theme for their group apparel and so this is what they'll be wearing out on the course.
Not sure how fast they'll go but they'll certainly get noticed!


Smart Drinkware


I admit - I'm like a magpie when it comes to sparkly things and new, fancy drink bottles. But this time I gave my sample to a friend who likes going to the gym (not my jam and hubby says I have too many drink bottles cluttering up the cupboard anyway). She has tiny hands so this slimline drink bottle seems like a great option for carrying from station to station without looking like she's lugging something twice her size with her.
She tells me she LOVES it and is the envy of her gym-going buddies. It keeps her water cold and fresh plus looks a bit swish.
Imagine having a few of these out getting noticed with YOUR brand on them? That's some great advertising for your brand!!


Eco Friendly


It's something we are hearing more calls for and our suppliers are listening. Good folks like yourselves are looking at those steps we can take in our everyday consumerism to take better care of our planet. At EmbroidMe Dunedin we look after your uniform and promotional products needs but we're on the lookout for those little things too so that you have more choice in how this can be achieved on a local scale.

You're awesome - keep up the hard work!


New Jerseys For Fiji in Just ONE Day


Excitement as the Fijian rugby team arrived in New Zealand soon dissipated as they realised their uniforms had gone elsewhere. Four days before the match the jerseys turned up, but in a different city and with no sponsors’ logos on yet.

EmbroidMe Dunedin dropped everything and jumped in to help. The precious cargo was driven from Christchurch to Dunedin and EmbroidMe got to work putting on the finishing touches on 24 jerseys. One fully kitted out team and a bundle of happy sponsors later... and as everyone now knows, disaster struck and there was, ummm... one dubious logo!

With just 24 hours to go until game time, it was another road trip to Christchurch to pick up more jerseys and the EmbroidMe team was back on the production line, the second kit turned out in record time. Phew!

We’re so happy to be able to help our Pacific neighbours look game-ready at Forsyth Barr Stadium and always up for the challenge of solving what seems to be an insurmountable problem.


We Support!


EmbroidMe Dunedin are staunch supporters of the Otago Gang Show (Scouts and Guides from the lower South Island). The cast and backstage tees plus scarves look awesome this year and the show is going to be even better. We encourage you to get along and show your support for an amazing youth organisation. Tickets on sale at www.otagogangshow.com - the shows


Corporate Gifting for Every Season


For gifting for every season (Dunedin in one day) why not look at box sets? Thermal bottles and cups are a great way to get your brand out there rain or shine or *coff - snow*.
Everyone loves to get a little appreciation especially when it's something as stunning as this boxed set with wood grain finish. I'd be pretty happy to receive this set....so long as you got it from EmbroidMe Dunedin though ;) FYI it's my birthday at the end of winter so you've got time.


Free Beanies


It turns out the dog is not a big fan of beanies but this winter staple is well represented in our house and particularly useful at all those outdoor activities the kids are heavily involved in.
And so it's that time of year again to put up our FREE beanie with every jacket purchased and branded at EmbroidMe Dunedin for the months of May and June (2021).

Dusty might pass but at least he's a better doorbell than high fashion model, right?


Winter Special - Free Setup on the Nova Cup!

It's starting to feel a lot like winter


It's starting to feel a lot like winter now and we have a great selection of puffer jackets and vests to keep warm with. Plenty of opportunities to add a pop of colour with contrasting linings, zips and zip pullers. Have a look at how you can up the WOW factor with your puffers with EmbroidMe.
