Embroidery - Getting Started
Digitisation:
Designs needs to be Digitised before embroidered on the garment.
The process of digitising a design file is an expert level manual process, which converts your PNG/JPG file into an embroidery ready stitch file.
You upload your embroidery design to the merchant dashboard for digitizing. Once we digitize your file, you can start placing orders for those designs. Or you can upload design file while placing an order as well.
Digitising the design takes 2 days, and the Dispatch time for embroidery order is 3 days. Click here to know more about digitization.
Design Guidelines:
- The elements in the embroidery design needs to be clear and bold.
- Thin lines are hard to process through embroidery.
- Small texts and borderline shades are hard to process through embroidery.
- Complex graphic designs may not 100% match in the final embroidered product
- The measurement of an object or text should be a minimum of 1x1 (width x height) Inch.
- Design formats for uploading designs: PNG or JPG
