What It Is

Trade Embroidery is a white-label embroidery and branded apparel supplier for “print trade” customers, operated by Cadabra Enterprise Limited trading as Trade Embroidery. It is not positioned as an open consumer-facing e-commerce platform, but rather as a service that helps printers, promotional product suppliers, and garment resellers outsource production work such as embroidery, printing, and branded workwear — effectively acting as the customer’s “outsourced production department.”

Core Capabilities

The platform emphasizes Trade Customers Only, White Label Delivery, Dedicated Account Managers, and a Price Match Promise. It can supply common workwear and promotional clothing categories such as jackets, hi-vis clothing, corporate shirts, caps, aprons, T-shirts, polo shirts, and hoodies, and it supports converting customer logos into embroidery files. Customers must register for an account and be approved before they can access the full product range and ordering functions. For logistics, it offers white-label delivery, with terms mentioning DPD and delivery to the purchaser’s premises. Shortages, damage, production errors, or non-delivery must be reported by phone within 48 hours and confirmed in writing within 3 working days.

Pricing and Fees

The public pages do not list specific product prices, minimum order quantities, lead times, or shipping fees. New embroidery logos require digitization and are subject to a standard fee. If customers need a copy of a digitized embroidery file such as a DST file, a one-off fee of £20 + VAT applies. Payment is usually made when placing the order. If payment is not made by the final day of the month following delivery, interest will be charged from the invoice date at an annual rate of 8%.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its clear B2B positioning, making it suitable for trade resellers who want seamless resale; its product range covers mainstream workwear and promotional apparel needs; and white-label delivery plus dedicated account managers can support more stable fulfillment. The drawbacks are limited pricing transparency and the added trial barrier created by account approval. Customized, embroidered, and printed goods are generally non-returnable, and the service terms are relatively conservative regarding delayed delivery and the processing risks of customer-supplied goods.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to UK-based print shops, branded apparel resellers, corporate workwear providers, and B2B sellers targeting UK customers who need to outsource embroidery or printing capacity. The review text does not provide information on access from China, so this cannot be determined. Cross-border shipping, international payment options, and account support for Chinese sellers are also not disclosed.
