We create the machines, the operating system, and the design software. With Melco’s most recent software update, DesignShop 12, we’ve made great improvements to every aspect of the digitizing experience, enhancing each step of your process. 

Get plug and play productivity with a bigger library of premade designs, fonts, monograms, and custom vector shapes. Ensure high quality sewouts with features like Design Checker, Conversion Assistant and Enhanced Lettering. We offer 4 levels of software so you can choose the best option for your business.

With the Melco Operating System (MOS), you control every machine on the network from a single computer. This allows management of individual machines as needed, without interrupting production on the entire network.

Best of all, you can use the system as a single-head, and a multi-head, at the same time. No other system gives you this level of control and flexibility!

Easily add machines to your production line when you’re ready – our modular system is designed to grow along with your business at your pace.

Tired of frustrating thread breaks?

With Melco machines, thread feed is managed by the patented Acti-Feed™ thread control system, delivering the precise amount of thread automatically.

Conventional machines require manual thread tension adjustments. This system is what sets Melco machines apart from the rest of embroidery industry. Simply enter a few inputs such as fabric type and hoop selection, and our intelligent Acti-Feed™ system will do the rest!

"Got a Melco 2 years ago to start my dream of owning my own business after years working in theatre in costume shops. It was the perfect machine for me!"

Angela Jasmina

Mompreneur & Owner of AJ Blanks

I remember the first time I saw the Melco embroidery machine at an embroidery show... I was in love! The speed, huge sewing field, and Acti-feed tension system were the biggest features that stood out to me. Plus, you can’t beat the 6-year warranty!! From that point on, it became obvious that this was my dream machine!

When I made that dream a reality and received my first Melco EMT16X, I was amazed at how it had increased my efficiency and productivity in just one day! Prior to this, it would take me 10 hrs to complete 10 shirts, and now it takes me 5 hours to complete 10 or more shirts!

I would like to take the time to express my sincere thanks for sending such a wonderful Melco trainer. My husband and I recently finished up our training and had the pleasure of working with David Fuller. I have so many good things to say about him as far as his knowledge, resources, experience and most of all dedication. He is truly committed to helping us in any way that makes us successful on our embroidery journey.   

David has made our embroidery training top notch. He is very patient and explains everything very well, especially for those of us that are brand new. We had such a good impression straight from the start with our sales experience. I would recommend Melco to others and very excited to be in the embroidery business with such great people and support.

Thanks to everyone!

Thank you, Melco for helping

make my business successful!

We started researching smaller single-head machines that would fit in my home. The commute to the shop was brutal, and I really wanted to be able to spend more time with my family while working from home.

A lot of the reviews stated that Melco customer service was the best in the industry. That also stuck out, as I know one thing you don’t want to be is down and out in this business. Lastly, I like the ability to link the machines together as you add more. As our business grows, we can add the amount of heads we need, rather than having to add a bulky mutihead machine that can only run a single job at a time. 

We are almost 2 years in with our Melco EMT16 PLUS and I can't say enough good things about this company. The machine produces incredible work. Our business does about 80% hats, and it stitches them with ease. 

The Melco staff is second to none. From sales, to tech support, to instructional videos, they are the nicest people on the planet. Tech support is incredible. Any time Ive had an issue, they’ve been able to get me back up and running. I’ve had parts overnighted and at my door by the next morning to make sure we’re not down too long. 

Purchasing this machine for business has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, and we will be adding more Melcos to our business in the future. Its been a lot of fun learning this business, and Melco has made it that much better.”

"Melco assisted me in setting up the machine and giving me tips and training, as I began my venture into the field of embroidery. As with any new, high-tech piece of equipment, the technicians at Melco were helpful with fine-tune adjustments.

Twelve years later, I now have four machines. I know that if I have mechanical issues with any of my machines or need suggestions on how to run a specific item, I just need to make a phone call to a Melco technician for assistance.
