Home > ArticlesEmbroidery 101: Digitizing & EmbroideryIf you have ever purchased any products and had them embroidered, you have no doubt heard the term digitizing. Digitizing is actually quite a lengthy process and most embroidery companies do charge for this fee. It can take a few hours to digitize one logo. This is key: The digitizing will only be as good as the original quality of your logo. Try to obtain an original or ‘raw’ eps, hi resolution TIFF or photoshop file of your logo from your artist and send the embroidery company that file, if it is too large, burn it to a cd and deliver.Digitizing is typically priced on how many ‘stitches’ that the logo will require, the more complex of an image you wish embroidered, the more time and money it will cost the embroidery company. Several embroidery companies do outsource their digitizing to companies that specialize in it. Once complete the digitized file is then sent back to the embroidery company, loaded into the machine (on disk) and then the shirts, polos, hats, baby blankets etc. are loaded and the operator begins the actual embroidery process. Once the embroidered product is complete, the operator will typically inspect each article and utilizing a small pair of scissors, trim off any excess material that the machine left behind. The articles are then folded and boxed for delivery. |
