Medelita is honored to have affiliations with numerous professional organizations within the medical and dental industries. Receiving approval to embroider such prestigious logos is indicative of our high quality standards and the respected customers we serve.

- Logos are sewn directly onto your selected garment. No patches are available.

Examples:
Name & Title Embroidery
- Name & title embroidery is placed above the pocket, anatomical left, unless requested otherwise.
- There is limited space on certain sizes & styles, on a properly fitted lab coat, which may result in partial lapel coverage.
- To minimize lapel coverage, use first initials, no periods, and choose only one line of embroidery.
- List your professional title(s) after your last name (Sarah Smith, MD is preferred v. Dr. Sarah Smith)
- Custom embroidery requires 8 to 10 additional business days, prior to shipping.
- Embroidered garments may not be exchanged or returned, unless there was an error on our part.
At Medelita, we have the utmost pride in our embroidery work. Our in-house service allows us to provide exemplary service to our customers and colleagues. We go to great lengths to ensure that each garment is perfectly sewn, inspected, and packaged. But in truth, the very first thing that a customer notices is not the stitching or the curved lapels or beautiful pocket detail of the garment itself. It's the embroidery. We call it the "icing on the cake." The "stamp of achievement and great sacrifice." And the "closest thing to wearing your diploma." For that reason - it must be perfect. And that is our standard.
Allow us the opportunity to display your name and title - embroidered with prestige and perfection - in the manner you've earned.
Advice Regarding Embroidery Character Length
Example (Pictured Women's Estie Size 0 Lab Coat, 19 characters total on line 1 with 4 characters covered):
On properly fitting, gender specific lab coats with stylish lapels, there is limited amount of space in the area above the pocket, and between the lapel and the armhole. Some sizes and styes have less room than others. It is our priority to alert you in advance that Medelita embroidery is centered above the pocket, and embroidered to a standard size/height that is both legible and high-quality in appearance. The large majority of Medelita customers/colleagues are "ok" with some letters of their first name being partially covered by the lapel. For those that want to ensure that every single letter is visible, please adhere to the following guidelines to prevent coverage in both the first and second lines of embroidery.

- To minimize coverage, use first initials, no periods, and choose only one line of embroidery.

Custom Logo Embroidery
Medelita custom logo embroidery is the most impressive way to truly distinguish your lab coat or scrubs. A finishing touch like no other - logo embroidery with your office, clinic, or hospital logo turns a lab coat and/or scrubs into something impressive and polished.
Medelita is committed to making custom logo embroidery a simple process. Read below for more information about what is required.

- You only need to upload your logo one time, as it will be attached to your entire order.
- There is a one-time $150 fee for digitization. This is the process of turning your logo from flat artwork into embroidery detail – color, number of stitches, shading, etc. Additional fees apply.
- Once your logo is received, you will be contacted by our customer service team to discuss the customization of your logo.
- Your design will be digitized by our expert embroidery team, and you will then receive a picture (via email) for approval. This initial process takes approximately 7-10 days.

Care Instructions
If you prefer home laundering, pre-treat stains prior to washing. See stain removal guide for best recommendations. Expect up to 2-3% shrinkage with home laundering.
If you prefer dry cleaning, find an environmentally friendly dry cleaner that cleans whites separately and changes dry cleaning solution daily. Point out any stains to the cleaner when you drop it off.
For home laundering, machine wash warm. Do not use chlorine bleach. Non-chlorine bleach is ok.
Tumble dry low heat or hang to dry. Our best tip is to partially dry for 5-10 minutes, then hang to dry.
For a most professsional and sharp appearance, press with medium to high heat with steam or press when garment is still damp. Use filtered water in iron and be sure the iron itself is clean before using.

We're especially proud of our new 28" length women's lab coat of unparalleled quality. Some call it a consultation length lab coat. Some call it a student length lab coat. We call it Elizabeth B. - named after the first female medical student graduate in U.S. history. Similar to our original Callia lab coat in design features, the new hip-length Elizabeth B. tailored lab coat features feminine shaping and rounded lapels, a hidden inside pocket, and Medelita logo fabric covering the inside seams. The 3 outside pockets are both complimentary to the rounded lapels of the lab coat, as well as roomy enough to hold instruments and manuals for a long shift. This 100% cotton lab coat also boasts performance features that make sense to women working in medicine. 
Advanced Dual Action Teflon ® fabric protector repels fluid and stains.Call it revolutionary.

Elizabeth B. Lab Coat Overall  4.00 Reviewer: Sue, future FNP Location: Downingtown, PA Written on: October 03, 2012 | Love it! I just started clinical as a Student Nurse Practitioner.

Elizabeth B. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: med student who hates white coats Location: Connecticut Written on: October 03, 2012 | Very good student white coat Great white coat.

Elizabeth B. Lab Coat Overall 4.00 Reviewer: Pharmacist Amy Location: Rochester, NY Written on: August 05, 2012 | Would definitely buy again Great lab coat! I'm a retail pharmacist and my coats are supplied by my company. That being said, I gladly pay for my own to have something that fits me properly and isn't designed for 'unisex' wear, as that always means designed for men. I've gotten many compliments on it and even had a couple colleagues ask where I ordered it from. ✓ I recommend this product |
Elizabeth B. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Doc on the run! Location: Dallas, Texas Written on: August 02, 2012 | Worth It I purchased this item with the ink removal accessory. I was called to verify spelling, font and color requested. This ia a great service as my name is uncommon and I'm always a apprehensive when it comes to monograming items. The coat arrived promptly afterwards and I was very pleased. It looks feminine and professional. In comparison to some of the other coats I have had, you can tell this one is a greater quality by far. I've received several compliments on it and will be purchasing more once I've completed this leg of my education.
I used the ink removal a couple of times and it works like a charm. I've washed and ironed the coat and it still looks brand new. I'm thankful I found Medelita! ✓ I recommend this product |
Elizabeth B. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Tiff the permanent student Location: Kalamazoo, MI Written on: May 08, 2012 | Love my lab coat I am a 5'10" PA student and had an extremely difficult time finding a lab coat. I ended up purchasing a men's coat, and it absolutely destroyed a couple of beautiful sweaters. I am unable to wear many button down shirts due to a large bust.
I ordered the Elizabeth lab coat and am thrilled with my purchase. I did not want to spend a great deal of money on a lab coat since the student length is not my preference. I found the discount on the Elizabeth length a welcome initiation to Medelita products, and will be ordering more in the future.
Thanks Medelita for making a quality product! ✓ I recommend this product |
