Question 3

What is the turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

While we always endeavour to work with our client's deadlines, turnaround times will depend on quantities, type and complexity of embellishment and availability within the factory. Work is typically completed about 1 week after quote and artwork is approved and goods are received.

Question 4

Do you provide samples?

Accepted Answer

We can quote to provide samples, however it depends on which embellishment technique you are using.
 
We always create a sample of each embroidery placement, at the size requested, for your approval. Typically this is photographed and sent to you digitally for approval, alongside all production information.
 
Our showroom also displays several examples of our various printing techniques to help inspire your creativity.

Question 5

What file formats do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

In order to achieve the best possible result, your logo or artwork file should always be supplied in vector format. We can accept raster format – if the resolution is sufficient for print and it is suitable for the embellishment method you have chosen. 
 
Vector Format: (.eps, .ai)
A vector file can be scaled to any size without any loss of quality. Logos not supplied in vector will attract a re-draw fee for each file.
 
Raster Format: (.jpg, .tif, .psd)
Raster files are built up of small squares called pixels. This means that as you increase the size of your image, it will become blocky, or appear to be blurred.  Resolution should be at least 240dpi  at 100% of actual size. This format is not suitable for embroidery.
 
Size:
Where possible, supply the artwork at 100%. Always specify the final size when placing the order. Specify sizes in millimetres (mm). When specifying logo/images, always use the width (W). Text/font sizes must be specified in height (H).
 
Fonts:
Fonts to be converted curves/outlines, or supply font files with order. A conversion fee will apply if not supplied or converted to curves. All font sizes are to be specified in height (H) in millmetres (mm) when you place your order. 
 
Personalisation:
If you are adding names or words to your garments, you MUST specify the font, size and colour. We need to know the font, height (mm), colour and position.
 
Colour Variants:
We prefer the logo or artwork is supplied in CMYK, PANTONE or MONO colour variants. If specific colours are required, the Pantone colour must be provided. We will endeavour to match the embellishment to your Pantone colours. In some instances, a single colour version of the logo or graphic is desired for high contrast. For example, this might be for a white logo on a dark shirt. Always specify the colour(s) you want when placing your order.

Question 6

What influences the cost of embellishment?

Accepted Answer

The size and complexity of the logo or image influence the number of colours and stitches required, which in-turn influence the final cost.

Our logo digitisation is world-class and we may be able to modify your artwork to provide a more cost-effective solution.
