How to Request a Quote or Place an Order with Bloom Embroidery

Updated

Bloom Embroidery is a Dallas, Texas decoration shop offering embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer, and heat press services on apparel, bags, and caps from brands including Nike, OGIO, Carhartt, Port Authority, Sport-TEK, PUMA, and The North Face. To start an order, use the site's Contact Us page or the phone number listed there, and come prepared with your artwork, quantity, product type, and deadline. The site's three online catalogs are the fastest way to pick blank styles before you reach out.

What Bloom Embroidery Does

The service list on the site covers:

  • Embroidery — stitched logos and text, typically on caps, polos, and outerwear
  • Screen printing — the site lists this repeatedly, suggesting it is a core, high-volume service for tees and similar garments
  • Heat transfer / heat press — an alternative decoration method, often used for names, numbers, or small runs
  • Promotional products — apparel, bags, and caps

Brands named on the site include Nike, OGIO, Carhartt, Port Authority, Sport-TEK, PUMA, and The North Face. Availability of any specific style depends on the catalog and current stock, so confirm before assuming a particular item is orderable.

Step 1: Browse the Catalogs First

The site publishes three catalogs (Catalog 1, Catalog 2, and Catalog 3). For example, the RICHARDSON CAPS listing is noted as "Available in Catalog 1," which shows how products are organized across the three files.

Before contacting the shop:

  1. Open the catalog that matches your product type.
  2. Note the brand, style number, and color options you want.
  3. Save the style numbers — they make the quote conversation much faster.

If you already know the exact garment (for instance, a specific Port Authority polo), you can skip straight to contact and give the style number directly.

Step 2: Prepare Your Order Details

A decoration shop can only quote accurately if you supply the following. Have these ready before you call or write:

Detail Why it matters
Artwork or logo file Determines whether the job needs digitizing (embroidery) or separations (screen printing)
Decoration method Embroidery, screen printing, or heat transfer — each has different setup and pricing
Product and style number Lets them confirm availability and blank cost
Quantity per size and color Drives pricing tiers and screen or stitch setup
Placement and size of the design Left chest, full front, back, sleeve, cap front, etc.
In-hands date Determines whether the timeline is realistic

If you do not have vector artwork, say so up front — the shop can tell you what file formats it accepts and whether an art charge applies.

Step 3: Contact the Shop

The site's navigation includes a Contact Us page, and the header lists Home, Services, Contact Us. Use the Contact Us page to submit your request, or call the phone number published there if you need a faster answer on timing.

When you reach out, include in one message:

  • Your company or group name
  • The catalog style numbers you selected
  • Quantities broken out by size and color
  • Your artwork file or a description of the design
  • Your in-hands date
  • A question about turnaround, setup fees, and payment method

Putting all of this in the first message avoids the back-and-forth that slows most custom apparel orders.

Step 4: Confirm the Quote Details

Before you approve, verify these points in writing:

  • Unit price at your quantity — decoration pricing usually drops at higher counts
  • Setup or digitizing charges — one-time fees for screens or embroidery digitizing
  • Blank cost vs. total cost — confirm whether the quoted price includes the garment
  • Turnaround time — count backward from your event date, not from the day you approve
  • Payment method and deposit — ask what the shop accepts and whether a deposit is required
  • Shipping or pickup — confirm how you receive the finished order

The site does not publish pricing, payment platforms, or turnaround times, so these must come from the shop directly. Do not assume any job is free of setup charges or that rush turnaround is available.

Common Sticking Points

  • Artwork quality. Low-resolution images may need redrawing, which adds cost and time.
  • Small quantities. Screen printing typically has minimums because each color needs its own screen; embroidery and heat transfer are often better for small runs.
  • Brand availability. Not every style in a catalog is in stock at all times — confirm before you finalize a design around a specific garment.
  • Deadlines. Custom decoration is not instant. Build in buffer time for art approval and production.
  • Catalog version. Products are split across Catalog 1, 2, and 3, so a style you remember may sit in a different file than you expect.
