Embroidery Options

What types of embroidery do you offer?
There a three main types of embroidery you can order -
1) Custom logo, requiring digitizing
2) Stock design with/without lettering (or just lettering)
3) Monogramming

What types of items can be embroidered?
Most things can be embroidered. The rule of thumb is that we must be able to get the item onto the embroidery machine. In some cases, where an item is too thick or cumbersome to fit into a traditional hoop, we use other methods to get the item on the machine. Traditional items that are embroidered are: clothing, bags, caps and hats.

Artwork / Design

If I provide a photograph or personal graphic design, will it be identical when embroidered?
When a design is digitized (converted into a stitch file) it is not an exact representation of the original design. It is up to the digitizer transform pixels into stitches. The design is reassembled in thread to create that original impression, as much as is possible. It is not possible to recreate all shadows and fading effects.  In fact, sometimes digitizing an image to thread is not possible nor feasible. Click Here for More Information on Digitizing

What type of artwork do you need for embroidery?
If you are submitting your design to be digitized we require the file a standard image file such as a gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp, png, etc.  However, if you have already had the design digitized it should be in one of the following formats: .vp3, .vip, .pcs, .pec, .pes, .hus, .shv, .dhv, .jef, .sew, .exp, .dst, .10*.

Yes, there is a one time set-up fee of $20 for each colors in the design. If you get items printed again using the same design there will not be a set-up fee.

Why is screen printing more expensive than heat transfers?
Screen printing uses a plastic ink that has a consistency similar to paint. Screen printed goods do not crack or fade (unless put into direct sunlight for long periods of time), like a heat transfer does. Screen printed items are of a higher quality and will outlast an item with a heat transfer.

Screen Printing Options

What types of items can be screen printed?
A sample of items ideal for screen printing are clothing, bags, umbrellas, hats and towels. By no means are these the only items. If you have something in particular you'd like screen printed please contact us.

Artwork / Design

If I provide a photograph, will it be identical when screen printed?
The screen printing process is different than printing something on a flat piece of paper. Because material is porous and the number of colors is restricted to six, it is difficult to get screen printing to duplicate a photograph entirely. In most cases we are able to get an excellent reproduction.

What type of artwork do you need for screen printing?
The better the artwork, the better. Our preference is to have camera-ready artwork. Camera-ready refers to an image that has a vector format in 300 dpi (dots per inch). The most common vector files are from Corel Draw (cdr), Adobe Illustrator (ai) and Photoshop (eps). Other image files such as gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp or tiff can also be used but will require our artist to make adjustments to ensure the best screen printed image possible.
