Every customer has different needs. Different garments, different colours, different embroidery. For that reason it is virtually impossible for us to cram everything into these pages! So please treat this as a brief introduction to our company and our products and if you would like further information please contact us.

Merry Marketing was formed in 1983. In 1986 we exhibited at the International Handling And Storage Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. Interest in our embroidered clothing and embroidered badges was phenomenal and we quickly developed a niche market in the Transport and Handling sectors. Since then we have supplied garments to many leading U.K. companies including Marley Building Materials, Eddie Stobart Limited, P&O Distribution, P&O Roadways, Seddon Atkinson Vehicles, Lucas Batteries, Exide Batteries, Renault Trucks, Massey Ferguson Industrial, GEC Alsthom and Mercury Communications to name but a few. We have also supplied garments to literally hundreds of smaller companies located throughout the U.K. Our quality remains excellent irrespective of the size of our customer.
EMBROIDERED CLOTHING

When you order embroidered clothing make sure that you can have the same garments next year and every year. You will need to replace them occasionally with identical ones. If you don't you may end up with a workforce who look scruffier in uniform that out of it. The reasons are simple:-

1) If you use a proprietary branded garment the styles of garments will not alter and nor will the colours - as long as you stick to standard colours such as Red, Bottle Green, Black, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Burgundy, Grey and White. If you opt for 'fashion' colours such as pastel shades you could be in trouble. Blushing Pink or Burnt Orchid may be in the range this year - they almost certainly will not be next year. Keep it simple and you could save yourself a lot of trouble.We only use perfect garments that are replaceable with identical ones.If you see cheap garments being offered be wary. They may be ends of line, job lots, seconds or inferior products.

2) Don't give someone a single embroidered Polo Shirt and expect them to wear it every day. It will soon be filthy and the employee will probably not smell too healthy by the end of the week! The usual advice is three garments per person. One to wear, one to wash and one spare.

3) If you combine embroidered Sweatshirts with embroidered Polo Shirts stick to the same manufacturer. The colours of both garments will be virtually identical. Every manufacturer uses their own colour shades and if you use two manufacturers you will get two different colours.

EMBROIDERY
Embroidery looks very classy but it does has its limitations. We cannot, for example, embroider graduated colours (as loved so fondly by design agencies!) It may look great printed on headed notepaper but is no good for embroidery. Small text and keylines around lettering can also be a problem and in these circumstances our printed badges may be a better alternative. Ideally text for embroidery should be no less than 5mm in height. We can usually work something out with our customers but you may need to be flexible if you want the job done properly. All we ask is that you send us your design and let us take a look at it. In most cases there is not a problem but we want you to be happy with the finished product and come back to us year on year.

ORIGINATION

Every logo or design is unique and it has to be digitised whether to produce embroidered clothing or embroidered badges. This requires the creation of a special embroidery software programme which tells computerised embroidery machines where to put the stitches. The cost of creating this is called the origination charge. It is a 'once only' charge and the price varies according to the size and complexity of the design. We will quote for this on sight of artwork which can be a simple printed image on a letterheading, compliments slip or something similar. Once we have your design on file we can reproduce it for you at any time and embroider it on a range of garments or create embroidered badges.

EMBROIDERED BADGES

If you want us to produce overlocked embroidered badges or printed badges please send us your artwork and we will quote by return. The price we quote will include any origination charges (if applicable), the badge costs, carriage and Vat. The edging on badges is called the 'overlocked edge'. Overlocking can be applied in any colour and it stops the edges of the badge from fraying

We will keep origination costs to a minimum but we are governed by your design..
