The family-owned company first started as a small shop in New Jersey in 1993. Three decades later, World Emblem now has nine locations across the world and over 1,000 employees.
"Our minimum quantity that you can order from us is one," said Chief Operating Officer Jim Kozel. "If you have one garment that you wanted to have embroidered, we'll do one garment. If you have 10,000 garments you want embroidered, well do 10,000 garments."
Some of World Emblem's big clients include the NFL, Levi's, New Era and Perry Ellis.
