An Embroidery Guide

To Get Started

It all starts with your logo artwork file.

Please provide us with a vector file or a quality (300 dpi) bitmap.

(The small logo from your website is NOT suitable).

Difference between a pixel and a stitch
 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VECTOR IMAGE AND A BITMAP/RASTER?

Difference between vector and bitmap

Vector images consist of lines and curves. It remains sharp when you zoom in or enlarge it.

Bitmap images are made up of tiny dots called pixels. The number of pixels in an image will determine its resolution. When you zoom in or enlarge a bitmap image, you will see the individual pixels.

 

COST OF QUALITY

Why do I get charged if I already have a logo?

Your logo or design is recreated for embroidery in a highly specialized process called DIGITIZING. Qualified embroidery personnel re-design your logo to allow embroidery machines to understand the required needle paths.

 

SIZE MATTERS WITH EMBROIDERY

LOGO SIZE

Each product has an average or maximum height requirement because of the product’s physical size limitations or simply for aesthetic reasons

Different embroidery files are created for each product type. The designs vary in size, stitch density, and embroidery sequence. Your one graphic logo can have multiple embroidery design files.

Ideal lettering size

LETTERING SIZE

The minimum height for quality embroidered lettering is 0.2in. (4-5mm).

The letters or words in your logo may need to be increased in size to accommodate the minimum height requirement.

COLORS IN YOUR LOGO

ALWAYS provide Pantone colors for white AND black backgrounds to ensure the design is structured to support light and dark garments embroidery.

If not, your job may have to return to the digitizer for changes and be removed from the production schedule, causing delays.

DELIVERY TIME

When is your order required?

Provide a clear deadline and always consider scheduling or delivery requirements. Give us time to digitize an excellent, quality-tested embroidered design. Remember, it is not the same or as quick as printing.
