How to Prepare a Company Logo for Embroidery

Send the best original you have

Vector is best: AI, EPS, or SVG. A clean PDF from the designer is next. PNG or JPG can work if the logo is large and sharp. Screenshots from a website are a last resort.

Do not upload files you do not have rights to use. Customer artwork is stored privately for quoting and production, not displayed in a public gallery.

Think in stitches, not pixels

Hairline strokes disappear. Tiny taglines under a mark often have to go. Gradients become solid thread colors. A good embroidered logo is usually a simpler cousin of the print logo, not a photograph of it.

Size and placement

Left-chest logos on polos are typically a few inches wide, not letterhead scale. Hats are smaller and curved. Tell us where the mark should live so digitizing happens at the right size the first time.

Colors

Give thread color targets if you have them (Pantone helps). We still confirm against the actual garment. Metallic thread is a special request, not a default.
