To prepare a logo for digitizing, send clear artwork, exact size in inches, garment type, and fabric notes. That information lets a digitizer build the correct underlay, density, and pathing from the first draft.
Preparation Checklist
Start with the highest-quality file you have (vector preferred), state finished height/width, and mention whether the sew-out is for a left chest, cap, or jacket back.
- Provide Clean Artwork: High-resolution PNGs, JPGs, or vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) are ideal. The clearer the details, the more accurate the stitches will be.
- Specify Dimensions: State the exact width or height you want the final embroidery to be. A logo sized for a hat front (typically 2.25 inches tall) is digitized differently than a logo for a jacket back (typically 10 inches wide).
- Indicate Fabric Type: Different fabrics require different digitizing settings. A file optimized for pique polos has different pull compensation and underlay than a file for fleece hoodies, caps, or thin nylon.
- Simplify Small Text: Letters smaller than 0.2 inches (5mm) tall do not embroider well and may need to be slightly enlarged or simplified for readability.
When your logo is ready, order through our digitizing service, compare samples in the portfolio, or check getting-started FAQs.
