Embroidery Value-Added Service at IDS
IDS Value-Added Embroidery Services for Branding
As an industry-leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider specializing in order fulfillment, IDS understands how hard it can be for a business looking for a 3PL fulfillment partner. One of the most critical and helpful considerations when evaluating a partner is the suite of value-added services that the 3PL company offers. The greater the range of value-added services provided, the better a 3PL provider can meet your business needs and processes as they change and evolve. Among the many value-added services available at IDS is our brand-extending embroidery service, allowing us to stitch it before we ship it.
Why Value-Added Services Matter in a 3PL Fulfillment Partner
Because most businesses are trying to grow and better meet customer needs, the services a company needs from a 3PL partner will likely change over time. While it may not be possible to predict precisely what value-added services your business might need in the future, it’s also not hard to anticipate some likely options. Thanks to our decades of experience helping businesses with warehousing and order fulfillment, IDS has carefully curated a range of value-added services our clients are most likely to request, including the following:
- Kitting, Pre-Kitting, and Phantom Kitting
- Custom-Branded Packaging and Packing Slips
- Returns Management and Processing
- Product Labeling and Repackaging Services
- Quality Assurance Product Checks
- Embroidery
- Personalized Gift Messaging and Gift Wrapping
- Cross Docking
- Drop-Ship Style Order Fulfillment
With value-added services like the ones listed above, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing IDS can meet your company’s ever-changing needs as you grow—and as you strive to add more and more value to your customer’s experience.
IDS Embroidery Services: We Can Stitch It Before We Ship It
If your business decides to add embroidery to any of your products, whether it’s your company logo or a customer personalization option such as a monogram, ask yourself this: Does your current 3PL order fulfillment partner provide embroidery as a value-added service? If not, then the choice to add embroidery to products will increase the complexity of your supply chain and significantly slow down a product’s movement through it.
Your products need multiple shipments to incorporate the embroidery process with another provider. And then, you’d have to ship again from the embroidery provider to your 3PL warehousing and order fulfillment provider. That’s two additional transit routes added to your supply chain, which means added costs. Also, this inefficiency will expand the carbon footprint because extra shipping transportation will increase CO2 emissions, contributing to the worsening global warming and climate change.
Now imagine partnering with a 3PL provider like IDS that offers embroidery services on-site within our warehouse facilities. This convenience and value-added service results in significant cost savings and reduces your company’s negative environmental impacts.
Why Consider Embroidery Services for Your Business?
IDS embroidery services present personalization across various industries, including apparel, hospitality, sporting goods, baby items, pet products, gifts, and more. It’s an opportunity for your company to extend its branding with a quality embroidered logo, whether this is added to the product itself or the product’s packaging. It can also be a way to increase customer satisfaction for those who want to add a personal touch to the products they order, such as a monogram, a pet’s name, or other personalization. A well-done embroidered product has higher perceived value in the eyes of customers and visually grabs the attention of potential customers who see it.
IDS offers maximum flexibility in customizing the embroidery process to meet your needs, including thread colors, designs, and materials to be embroidered.
