Mr Tees Embroidery & Printing is a family-run garment decoration business in Cardiff, supplying businesses, schools, sports teams and individuals across the UK. Its website reports over 30 years of experience in embroidery and apparel printing. Its clothing offer covers workwear and uniforms, sportswear and promotional apparel, with embroidery machines and printing facilities in-house.

Products and brands

The business supplies garments from The North Face, Berghaus, Regatta, Portwest, Under Armour, Uneek and AWDis. Its team offers product recommendations for industries including construction and hospitality, with printed promotional T-shirts and embroidered jackets among the examples listed. Its workwear page also describes embroidered polo shirts, shirts, caps, hoodies and high visibility jackets.

Decoration methods and capabilities

Available methods include embroidery, direct to film and direct to garment printing, vinyl printing and screen printing. Mr Tees recommends embroidery for most clothing it provides, while recommending print for lighter garments such as T-shirts and sportswear. The team advises on the method according to the requirements and artwork.

It also offers 3D puff embroidery, using foam beneath the stitching to create a raised design. Its explanation identifies bold logos, lettering and simple shapes as suitable designs, with caps, hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets and workwear among the applications. The business describes digitising the design and adjusting stitch settings to accommodate the foam.

Samples, approval and ordering

Uniform samples can be ordered through the Cardiff shop or by contacting the team by phone or email, allowing buyers to assess fabric and garment quality before a full order. Digital proofs show the decoration method, logo placement, colours and size. Photos of embroidered logos can be sent by email or WhatsApp, and samples can be reviewed in person.

Mr Tees states that clothing customisation starts only after artwork approval. Its embroidery offer accommodates a single custom piece as well as a full team kit. Orders can be discussed by email or phone.

For express requests, the business asks buyers to mark their email “URGENT” and include requirements, contact details and artwork. Management must confirm whether the requested lead time can be accommodated, and additional fees may apply. Its website states that all shipping uses a tracked next day service.
