Image Guidelines
File Requirements
•
We highly recommend submitting your embroidery graphics as raster graphics (PNG) with a resolution of at least 300 DPI.
•
Do not include photographic images, gradients, fade or blend effects. Elements like these cannot be embroidered.
•
Graphics should include transparent backgrounds.
•
If your graphic covers a very large part of the embroidery area, it may exceed the maximum limit of 15,000 stitches. In such
case, your order will be put on hold and you will be contacted.
•
Stitch Area 4" Wide x 1.75" Tall
•
Minimum thickness for shapes: 0.05" (1.3 mm)
•
Minimum height for lowercase letters: 0.25" (6.4 mm)
•
Minimum height for uppercase letters: 0.3" (7.6 mm)
•
Any text smaller than 0.25" (6.4 mm) in height will be a run stitch
Embroidery is not printing, so most designs that work on other products would not be suitable for embroidery. Clean designs with
bold lines and text work best for embroidery. If your design is too complex (e.g. contains gradients or intricate details), your design
will be rejected.
Too much detail
Clean designs with shapes, bold lines and text work best for embroidery. If your design is too complex and contains too much detail,
we will not be able to digitize your design with satisfactory results (e.g. when details are smaller that 0.05" or if detail elements are
to close to one another). Your design will be rejected.
Common Reasons for Rejection
Text is too small; Lines are too thin
Avoid using very small letters because the embroidered text may not be legible. Keep the text at least 0.25" in height and at least
0.05" thick. 0.25" is equivalent to approximately 36pt, and in most cases the letters will also have the necessary thickness, but this
depends on the font. We recommend using simple fonts like Arial, Helvetica, and Myriad Pro.
Text Cut-Outs or Negative Spaces
When possible please avoid sending us an image with small details or text that are in negative space. To avoid this issue please fill
the negative space with a solid color.
