How embroidery for Montreal works from our Ottawa shop
To be clear up front: we don’t have a Montreal storefront. Every order is embroidered in-house at our shop in Ottawa, by the same people who digitize the logo and run the machines, then shipped to your Montreal address. Nothing is drop-shipped from overseas, so there are no cross-border customs holds or surprise duties.
- Ordering. Online in the design studio, through the free quote form, by phone or WhatsApp at 613-666-9292, or by email at order@yayaprints.ca.
- Language. We serve customers in English and French.
- Shipping. Priced for your postal code and shown before you pay. Orders typically arrive 1–2 days after they leave the shop.
- Pickup. Only in Ottawa, by appointment.

Montreal embroidery orders, from one piece to 100+
Each kind of order with the garments it usually involves and the logo sizes that go on them. The two drawings share one scale, with the 11 in back dashed behind.
A single embroidered piece shipped to Montreal
One hoodie, jacket or cap · logo digitized once
We stitch single pieces, so one embroidered hoodie, jacket or cap for a Montreal address is a normal order. A new logo is digitized into a stitch file once; on one piece that setup sits on a single garment, so the price per piece is at its highest.
The file is kept on record. A single sample is a practical first step: you see the logo in thread, and the full order that follows reuses the same file.
Embroidered caps and hoodies for a Montreal team or club
Cap front about 4 in · chest logo 3.5 in
A team order is where the price breaks start. In the online design studio the per-piece price drops at 12 and again at 24, and every colour of the same garment counts toward the same break, so home and away colours pool together.
Caps take a front logo about 4 in wide that has to fit between the brim and the crown, so wide logos beat tall ones. More in caps for Montreal teams.
Embroidered polos and caps for a Montreal event or conference
Ready date + 1–2 days typical transit
An event has a fixed date, so work backwards from it: the ready date (1–2 weeks standard, or a 4–5 or 1–3 business-day rush) plus shipping, which typically takes 1–2 days to Greater Montreal once the order leaves the shop. Checkout shows the ready dates before you pay.
A brand-new logo is digitized before stitching starts, so send final artwork early; a logo already on file skips that step. How the rush windows work is in same-day embroidery: what rush really means.
Embroidered aprons and polos for Montreal restaurants and cafés
Apron bib or polo chest · 3.5 in logo
An apron logo goes on the bib, about where a chest logo sits on a shirt, so it stays visible above a counter. Twill and canvas aprons are firm, flat fabrics that stitch cleanly. Front-of-house polos take the standard 3.5 in left-chest logo.
If the menu is bilingual, the uniform can be too. A French and an English version of a logo are two designs, each digitized once; see bilingual logos below.
Embroidered staff uniforms for a Montreal business
Polos, fleece and softshells · 3.5 in chest, 3 in sleeve
Staff polos carry a 3.5 in left-chest logo, clear of the button placket, with a 3 in sleeve logo as the usual second spot. Pique is a textured knit, so hairline strokes are thickened when the logo is digitized; bold shapes stitch cleanest.
At 50 pieces the studio’s next price break applies, and the stitch file stays on record, so outfitting new hires later reuses it. See polos for Montreal businesses.
3.5 in chest logo · to scale
Embroidered workwear and winter jackets for Montreal trades crews
3.5 in chest · back design up to about 11 in
Work shirts, softshells and winter jackets take a 3.5 in chest logo, and a jacket can add a back design up to about 11 in wide so a crew is easy to spot on a site. Pockets, zips and seams can push a logo higher or smaller, and the mockup shows exactly where it lands.
For the coldest months, cuffed toques take a short, simple logo on the folded cuff, the flattest spot on a knit hat.
11 in back design · to scale
Corporate embroidery for a Montreal company: 100 pieces and up
Hoodies, jackets and caps · same mockup and designer check
At 100 pieces the studio’s last price break applies, and an order this size can be quoted directly through the free quote form, by email or by phone. It gets the same free mockup and the same human designer check as a single piece.
One logo can go on hoodies, jackets and caps in the same order; a cap needs its own stitch file, built for the curved front panel. Planning a large run? Read bulk and corporate embroidery and bulk hoodies for Montreal.

Service in both languages
French, English or bilingual: logos in thread
Wording is artwork to us. A French wordmark, an English one or both side by side is stitched exactly as you approve it on the free mockup. A few things are worth knowing before you choose:
- Two versions are two designs. An English and a French version of a logo are each digitized once. After that, both files serve every reorder.
- Both languages on one logo means smaller letters. A bilingual wordmark has to share the same 3.5 in chest width, so each word gets smaller. Keep letters at least about 1/4 in tall or they fill in.
- Accents are detail. É, è, à and ç carry small marks that must stay readable at the stitched size; a designer checks them before anything is stitched.
- Split it across spots. One language on the chest and the other on the sleeve keeps both legible on a polo or hoodie.
We stitch the wording you approve and don’t give advice on language rules for signage or uniforms; your own adviser is the right source for that.
How long embroidery takes to reach Montreal
Two clocks add up: the turnaround you pick at checkout, counted in business days from approval and payment, then the trip to Montreal.
| Turnaround | Ready in | Then to Montreal | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1–2 weeks (6–10 business days), no rush charge | Typically 1–2 days | Uniforms and gifts planned ahead |
| 4–5 day rush | 4–5 business days, priced at checkout | Typically 1–2 days | An event next week |
| 1–3 day rush | 1–3 business days, priced at checkout, up to a set piece count | Typically 1–2 days | A tight deadline on a smaller order |
Business days are Monday to Friday, so weekends don’t count. Every order shows the dates it will be ready before you pay, and shipping to your postal code is shown before you pay too. We don’t offer same-day embroidery.
What to send for a Montreal embroidery quote
- The logo. A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF) or a high-resolution PNG is ideal; a screenshot can usually be cleaned up. Send each language version you need.
- The garments and colours. Polos, caps, hoodies, jackets, aprons or a mix.
- Where the logo goes. Left chest, sleeve, cap front or back.
- A size list and the quantity. The quantity decides the price break.
- Your deadline and postal code. So the ready date and the shipping cost can be shown before you pay.
The quickest route is to place your logo in the design studio and see it on the garment, or send everything through the free quote form. Either way you get a free mockup before you pay, and a human designer checks the artwork before anything is stitched.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have an embroidery shop in Montreal?
No. We don't have a Montreal storefront. Everything is embroidered in-house at our shop in Ottawa, Ontario, then shipped to Greater Montreal, priced for your postal code and shown before you pay. Orders typically arrive 1–2 days after they leave the shop, and pickup is only in Ottawa, by appointment.
How long does custom embroidery take to get to Montreal?
Standard turnaround is 1–2 weeks after you approve the free mockup and pay, then shipping typically takes 1–2 days to Greater Montreal. Most orders can rush in 4–5 or 1–3 business days, priced at checkout, and the ready dates show before you pay.
Can you embroider a French or bilingual logo?
Yes. Wording in French, English or both is stitched exactly as you approve it on the free mockup. An English and a French version of a logo are two designs, each digitized once, and letters with accents need to be at least about 1/4 in tall to stay readable in thread.
Can I order embroidery in French?
Yes. We serve customers in English and French. You can order online at yayaprints.ca, by phone or WhatsApp at 613-666-9292, or by email at order@yayaprints.ca.
Is there a minimum for embroidery orders shipped to Montreal?
There is no big minimum: we stitch single pieces. The price per piece drops as the order grows; in the online design studio it drops at 12, 24, 50 and 100 pieces, and every colour of the same garment counts toward the same break.
How much does it cost to ship embroidery to Montreal?
Shipping is priced for your postal code and shown at checkout before you pay, so the total is known up front. Orders typically arrive 1–2 days after they leave our Ottawa shop.
Design it yourself. A human designer still checks every order.
Our free studio gives you the price and the mockup in the browser. What it doesn't do is print your file blindly — every order is reviewed by a real designer before it reaches the press.
- Step 1You design it — free
Upload your logo, drop it on a real garment, set the size and placement, pick colours and quantities. No account, no deposit, no waiting on a reply.
- Step 2A human designer checks it
Before anything prints, one of our designers opens your file and checks resolution, colours, sizing and placement. If it won't print well, we fix it or tell you exactly what's wrong — a person, not an automated preflight.
- Step 3You approve, then we print
You get the corrected mockup back on the actual product. Nothing goes to press until you say yes — then it's ready in 1–2 weeks, or in 1–3 business days with a rush.
