What affects the cost of embroidery digitizing?
Price depends mainly on three things: the size of the design, how many colors and fine details it has, and the placement (cap, chest or jacket back). Small text and thin lines need more careful stitch planning, so very detailed artwork can take longer. Sending a clear, high-resolution logo with the final size and placement keeps the price and turnaround predictable.
What is a PES file, and how is it different from DST?
A PES file is the stitch file used by Brother and Babylock embroidery machines. It stores stitch points, thread colors and stitch order, not just a picture. A DST file is the Tajima format accepted by most commercial multi-needle machines. The same digitized design can be delivered in either format, so tell us which machine you run when you order.
How to order
- Send your logo as a clear, high-resolution image.
- Tell us the final size, placement and machine format (DST, PES or other).
- Include your name and business email.
- Receive the stitch file, usually within 4 to 8 hours.
