Get to Know Us

Emblem Concepts is a Houston based wholesaler of embroidered emblems, appliques, Thirstymat coasters, lapel pins, keychains, coins and more.  

The business was conceived in 1986 to provide a much needed service - on-time delivery of high quality embroidered emblems at an affordable price. The industry at that time was mainly made up of manufacturers embroidering emblems on Schiffli machines. At the time, these machines required very time consuming and delicate paper tapes be made for each design. In addition, each emblem had to be embroidered in "loom runs" making it impossible to predict exactly how many acceptable emblems one might end up with. This inefficiency and poor quality was soon to become unacceptable.

Emblem Concepts offered an alternative to this situation. Providing the excellent quality of multi-head machine capabilities, along with guaranteed on-time delivery and competitive prices, the company was quickly able to establish a niche market supplying custom embroidered emblems to the promotional products and uniform industries.

Throughout the years, we have been able to add additional products to our line which further fulfill our customer’s needs.  Most recently, we added Thirstymat coasters which are the only machine washable, embroidered coaster on the market.  With their unique backing, Thirstymat coasters provide the perfect surface to protect your furniture and automobiles from scratching or water damage.

Emblem Concepts continued tradition of offering our customers more than they expect in every aspect has enabled us to gain new customers while retaining our valued long-time distributors.  We believe that quality, delivery and price are all very important, but the key element of our success has been the commitment to pleasing our customers. Without our customers we are nothing.  We want each and every customer to rest assured that their order will be taken care of in every detail and delivered exactly to their expectations.  We look forward to adding your organization to the list of many satisfied customers we currently serve.
