Artwork Requirements

Our aim is to create a high quality, crisp reproduction of your artwork, so providing good quality artwork is essential.

Embroidered graphics are sewn with thread and, therefore, need to be simplified so they appear clearly when stitched.

Artwork may be supplied as vector based images (drawings) as opposed to raster based images (bitmaps/jpeg’s).

The best type of artwork to send us is an editable vector file (such as EPS, Corel Draw or PDF) with all text “converted to curves”.

High resolution raster files are also acceptable; such as High Resolution JPG, PSD, TIF and GIF. Please contact us for more information

Helpful tips to ensure that your artwork will embroider properly:

  • No small lettering or tiny detail (fonts should be at least 2.5mm high)
  • No photographic imagery or gradients (artwork should contain solid colours only)
  • The largest and clearest graphics will convert to embroidery the best (artwork should be uploaded at a resolution of at least 300 dpi)
