Professional Organization Logo Embroidery
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. If you are a member of one of the below organizations, consider including a logo with your lab coat order. Professional organization logos make a bold statement to your colleagues and patients.
- Logos are sewn directly onto your selected garment. No patches are available.
- AAD, Veterinary and Dental Caduceus logos can be sewn in any color (color selection to follow).
- All other logos – you will soon be prompted to select name & title embroidery in a color that matches with your selected professional logo.
- Depending on our agreement with the below organizations, some professional logos can be selected free of charge.
- If you are authorized to submit a professional logo not listed, please email contact.us@medelita.com.
- We digitize/create the art file for new professional logos free of charge.
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.

- 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.
