Stitch & Print

What Stitch & Print does

Stitch & Print is a privately held UK custom-embroidery and garment-decoration business headquartered at 51 High Street, Wigton, Cumbria. Founded around 2004–2008, the company produces embroidered and printed workwear, staff uniforms and school uniforms for UK customers, with a stated 16+ years of operating history. Core offerings include custom-decorated polos, hoodies, sweatshirts, fleeces, jackets, hi-vis clothing, chef wear, aprons, hats, school PE kits and school name labels, decorated via embroidery, digital/screen printing, DTF transfer and diamante embellishment. The product catalogue spans garments from established workwear brands including Regatta, PRORTX, Just Hoods, Kustom Kit and Premier, including an Organic Range and Recycled Fabrics sub-line.\n\nThe company serves four primary verticals: UK hospitality and service-sector businesses, educational institutions (primary/secondary schools and nurseries), industrial and safety-sector employers, and charities/community organisations including sports clubs. Disclosed customers include several Cumbrian primary schools, a swimming club, a bowls club, a search-and-rescue charity, a regional theatre, and assorted small businesses — indicating a long-tail SMB customer base rather than enterprise anchor accounts. The website explicitly states nationwide UK service from a single Cumbria production site, naming Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Edinburgh and other cities as served markets.\n\nThe business model is direct-to-consumer via a self-serve DecoNetwork e-commerce storefront (online product selection, artwork upload, embroidery placement) supplemented by phone-based sales support for custom and bulk orders. Revenue is one-time-purchase per order, quote-based for custom work, with a small unit-priced add-on (school name labels at £5 for 20). The company has 6 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no patents, and no certifications. The technology stack is commodity embroidery/print equipment paired with a third-party e-commerce platform; the company's competitive position rests on in-house production turnaround, multi-brand catalogue breadth, and accumulated sector experience rather than proprietary technology.
