White-label design for embroidery shops

We redraw your customers’ logos as clean vector art that a digitizer can work from: simple shapes, a set number of thread colors, and nothing too small to stitch. We don’t digitize, so you won’t get a stitch file from us. Artwork comes back in 24 hours on average, under your shop’s name, for $699 a month.

No contract, no setup fee, pause or cancel anytime.

A customer wants their logo on 40 polos and sends a screenshot with a gradient, a drop shadow and a tagline in tiny type. Your digitizer can’t work from it, and the customer doesn’t see why thread can’t do what a screen does.

We sit between the two. You send the screenshot and the size it will be stitched at. We send back artwork that is ready to digitize, and a mock-up that shows the customer what they will actually get.

The jobs you get

  • Logos from screenshots and photos. Redrawn by hand as vectors, with clean, closed shapes.
  • Gradients and shadows. Replaced with solid colors, because thread can’t blend the way ink does.
  • Small text and fine lines. Enlarged, thickened or dropped for the stitched size, to your digitizer’s minimums and with the customer’s approval.
  • Left chest, cap and jacket back. The same mark simplified differently for each size.
  • Too many colors. Cut to the number of thread colors the job is priced for, with each color called out.
  • Patches and badges. The artwork with its border and outer shape drawn in.
  • Printed pieces in the same order. The same logo set up for the screen-printed or DTF items, so everything matches.

What comes back

  • Vector artwork (AI, EPS, SVG and PDF) at the stitched size
  • A flat-color version with every color named, ready to match to thread
  • A mock-up on the garment for your customer to approve, with nothing on it about us
  • A print version of the same logo, when the order includes printed pieces
  • Not included: DST, PES or any other stitch file

Standard sizes for this work: t-shirt print sizes, and every print size.

White label

Your customers never know we exist.

Every file ships under your name. No watermark, no credit line, no mention of us anywhere on the artwork or the invoice.

  • An address on your domain

    We’ll work from an email address on your domain if you want one.

  • Ownership on delivery

    Full ownership transfers to you on delivery, source files included.

  • Your trade area stays yours

    We never contact your customers, and we never work for a shop inside your trade area without telling you first.

The plan is the same for every shop: unlimited requests, one at a time, for $699 a month. Without the plan, file fixes start at $10 a file. What the plan includes, and what it replaces.

Questions from embroidery shops

Do you digitize?
No. We don’t make stitch files, and we don’t set stitch types, density or underlay. We make the artwork your digitizer, or your digitizing software, starts from.
Why have the art redrawn if it gets digitized anyway?
Because the decisions get made first. What is dropped at left-chest size, which colors merge and how thick the lettering has to be are all settled, with the customer’s approval, before anyone sets a stitch.
Can you match thread colors?
We call out each color and can note the nearest Pantone. Matching that to a thread chart is best done by you, with the thread in your hand.
What do you need for the first job?
The logo in any form, the stitched size, the garment, and the most thread colors you want to run. If your digitizer has minimum sizes for text and lines, send those too.

Other kinds of shop: sign shops, screen printers, DTF and apparel decorators, label printers, commercial printers. The plan, the price and how it compares: white-label design for print shops.

Send the screenshot. Get art a digitizer can use.

Fifteen minutes. Bring a logo that came back wrong from digitizing and we’ll show you what we would have changed first.
