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!
