Languages: For Japanese, names will typically be translated using Japanese katakana characters, which are interpreted phonetically or with similar sounds. Most martial arts styles and other words will be translated using kanji characters which are interpreted literally or with meaning. There are two different fonts available for the Japanese / Chinese kanji. One is called Kai and the other is called Gyo. Please clarify any difficult pronunciation of names in the Special Instructions area of the order.

Thread: For belt embroidery, we use the same bobbin thread (bottom thread) color as the top embroidery thread color.  This means that the backside of the belt will be the same color as the front, giving the backside a uniform look. For metallic thread embroidery we use a matching non-metallic thread for the bobbin thread. We use only high quality Robison Anton poly embroidery thread.

Process: Soon after your uniform or belt embroidery order is placed (about 1 week), a layout will be sent for review and approval prior to embroidery. Allow about 4 weeks for layout and production.  *For rush orders we can provide 1-week production for an additional charge of about 50%.  Please state "RUSH DELIVERY!" in the Special Instructions section of your order and additional charges will be invoiced to you.
