The Best Apron Brands with Custom Embroidery Options

Not all brands stitch up the same when it comes to custom embroidered aprons. At Yes We Print, we’ve tested the quality, durability, and embroidery compatibility of dozens of options, and these are the ones we actually recommend. Whether you're ordering for staff uniforms, merch, or events, these apron brands deliver clean results and long-lasting wear.

Why Embroidery Is Better Than Printing on Aprons

Embroidery lasts longer. It doesn’t crack, peel, or fade in the wash like printing can. If your aprons are going through regular use—especially in kitchens or workshops—embroidered logos stay sharp. It also looks more professional and feels like part of the apron, not just something stuck on top.

What to Look for in an Apron Before You Add Embroidery

Start with how the apron’s going to be used. Are people wearing it all day? Do they need it to hold tools or just look clean and presentable? Some aprons come with extra pockets or thick straps for comfort, while others are lightweight and simple. You’ll also want to check that the fabric works well with embroidery. Some cheaper materials can pucker or look messy once stitched.

Fabrics That Handle Embroidery Well

Not every fabric works. Here are the ones that do:

 

  • Canvas (cotton or poly blend) – Thick and reliable, holds stitches tightly.
  • Denim – Tough, good texture, and the thread shows up well.
  • Poly-cotton blends – Lighter and easier to wear, but dense designs might not look as clean. Avoid anything too stretchy or thin—it’ll never hold embroidery the right way.

Getting Your Logo Ready for Embroidery

Before anything’s stitched, your logo has to be converted to a format embroidery machines can read. Here’s how to get it right:

 

  • Remove small text that won’t show clearly in the thread.
  • Stick to bold, simple shapes—fine detail usually gets lost.
  • Choose colors that stand out from the fabric.
  • Think about where the embroidery will go, the chest area, pocket, or lower corner are most common.

 

If you're not sure your logo is ready, we can take a look and help clean it up.

What Makes These Aprons Worth It?

We’ve stitched on hundreds of apron types, and the ones listed above consistently do three things right:

 

  • The fabric holds embroidery cleanly without puckering.
  • The cut and shape give us a predictable, even surface to work with.
  • They don’t fall apart after washing, which matters when your logo needs to stay sharp.

 

You might find cheaper or trendier options elsewhere, but they usually come with issues like thin fabric, inconsistent sizing, or poor embroidery results. These five just work—and that’s why we keep recommending them.

Can’t Decide Which Apron to Go With?

Still not sure what fits your needs? Here's a quick way to think about it:

 

  • Need full coverage and pockets? → Go with the Two-Pocket Butcher Apron or Full-Length Apron.
  • Need something light and fast for service staff? → The Waist Apron is ideal.
  • Want something functional with front-and-back protection? → The Cobbler Apron covers it.
  • Want something simple and bold for a clean logo? → The Butcher Apron (no pockets) is the best canvas.

 

If you're still unsure, you can always reach out, and we’ll help match the right apron to your job.
