Artwork Requirements
For all branding options, vector files are preferred. Suitable file types are EPS / PDF / CDR or JPG for embroidery.
Embroidery is an excellent choice for branding bags, apparel, and textiles due to its durability and high-quality appearance, which remains intact even after constant washing. It adds a premium touch with a subtle raised effect, elevating the perceived value of your products or promotional items.
Each logo or design is unique, requiring individual assessment during the digitising process. This step converts artwork into stitch patterns, ensuring precise reproduction on fabric. Our aim is to offer accurate pricing that aligns with the specific details of your logo, ensuring you receive the best value for your embroidered items.
PROS
Creates highly durable designs that withstand frequent washing and wear.
Maintains their quality and appearance over time, ensuring longevity.

For the best outcome, it’s advised to steer clear of intricate details and font sizes smaller than 6mm.
Not suitable for lightweight fabrics due to the risk of puckering.
The Process
Simply email us your logo or design file (EPS, PDF, CDR, or JPG) to start digitising; setup fees apply. There are no extra charges for repeat orders unless design changes need re-digitising.
After finalising the design, we can provide a stitch-out for your approval before starting production. Standard production time is usually 10 working days from order approval, this timeframe will be extended for large batch orders.
