Print or Embroidery? 🤔

We have lots of conversations with our customers about whether embroidery or print is best for their business logo 👕

There are a few key things to consider, such as the size of the design, the level of detail in the logo and the garment fabric.

🧵 Embroidery gives a smart, textured finish that's great for polos, fleeces and many jackets.

🎨 Print is ideal for bold designs, larger graphics and T-shirts.

We offer both, produced in-house here on Portland.

If you're not sure which would work best for your logo, pop in to our production unit & showroom to take a look at some examples!

Portland Beach road is currently closed.

BREAKING: PORTLAND BEACH ROAD AND CAUSEWAY CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING AS STORM AUSTEN HITS
Friday 23 October 2026 | 6:30am Update
Portland Beach Road and Causeway has been officially closed this morning after severe weather associated with Storm Austen caused flooding and made the road unsafe.
Dorset Council has confirmed that the Environment Agency closed the route at 6:30am on Friday 23 October, following overnight monitoring of worsening conditions.
The closure comes just 75 minutes after an earlier update at 5:15am confirmed the road remained open.
Photographs taken at the scene show highway maintenance teams, emergency vehicles and barriers being put in place as motorists were prevented from continuing along the route.
A yellow weather warning remains in force, with the period of highest risk continuing until approximately 1pm today.
Multi-agency teams are continuing to monitor weather forecasts, local conditions and water levels as Storm Austen brings strong winds, large waves and coastal flooding to the Dorset coastline.
Dorset Council has confirmed that the road will remain closed until it is safe to reopen. No reopening time has yet been announced.
Motorists are being urged to check travel conditions before setting off, allow additional time for journeys and make essential journeys only where possible.
Residents should also check for school closures and disruption to transport services, with the severe weather expected to affect travel arrangements throughout the morning.
The closure is expected to cause significant disruption for those travelling between Portland and Weymouth.
Residents and visitors are also being reminded to stay away from exposed coastal areas, secure loose outdoor items and take precautions to protect animals and livestock.

Drivers are advised not to attempt to use Portland Beach Road or Causeway while the closure remains in place.

Packaging… 📦
It might not be the most glamorous part of the clothing ordering process, but it’s just as important to get right as the printing and embroidery.

To ensure we’re not needlessly contributing to plastic waste, we pride ourselves on supplying fully recyclable and compostable bags for customers who need their items individually packaged 🌱

There’s also something pretty cool about running multiple orders through the label printer 😉

We feel so priviledged to have had the opportunity to explore the mines that will form the backdrop of 👷👷🏻‍♀️ and to experience some of the talented artists that make up this year’s festival such as Jamal Sterrett

Topped off with dinner and live music at Portland Castle, it was an evening to remember.

There’s still a few hours left to explore the weird and wonderful going’s on across Portland at ‘That Other Place’ 🙌🏼🎉
