Commercial Production Pricing
Embroidery Digitizing Pricing
Production-focused pricing for embroidery shops, apparel decorators, uniform suppliers, and brands in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Manual digitizing, artwork and production check, and machine-ready DST, PES, EXP, JEF, and VP3 delivery.
All prices are in US dollars (USD). Starting prices depend on artwork quality, size, placement, stitch complexity, file type, and deadline. Simple digitizing starts at $5, vector tracing at $10, and patch digitizing at $15. Cap, left chest, 3D puff, and jacket back work is quoted from the actual size and detail.
Quick Answer
What affects embroidery digitizing price?
Embroidery digitizing pricing depends on logo complexity, stitch count, finished size, placement, cap or flat setup, applique sequencing, patch borders, 3D puff requirements, vector cleanup, turnaround and whether a change stays within the original revision scope. Review the buyer guide and revision terms, then send the artwork, final size, garment or product type and required format for an exact production quote.

Pricing Help
Pricing FAQs
Why does digitizing price vary?
Price changes with artwork complexity, finished size, placement, stitch count, source-art quality, special cap, patch, or puff planning, required formats, and deadline.
Is a DST file included?
Yes when DST is the requested output. We can also provide PES, EXP, JEF, VP3, and related machine formats according to the order scope.
Do you charge for edits?
Unlimited free minor revisions are included for the same artwork, placement and agreed scope. Eligible minor changes include color updates, minor production corrections and technically safe size adjustments up to 0.5 inch. Review the full revision terms.
Can I get rush service?
Rush jobs are accepted when capacity allows. Send the deadline with the artwork so timing can be confirmed before work begins. If your order is urgent, review our rush embroidery digitizing checklist before promising a customer deadline.
Do you digitize from a screenshot?
Yes. A screenshot or blurry source may need vector cleanup or manual artwork rebuilding before the stitch file is planned.
What is included in the embroidery digitizing price?
The embroidery digitizing price includes manual stitch planning, machine-ready file preparation, standard quality review, and delivery in common embroidery formats based on your order requirements.
Do revisions come with the order?
Yes. Unlimited free minor revisions are included for the same artwork, placement and agreed scope. Eligible minor changes include color updates, minor production corrections and technically safe size adjustments up to 0.5 inch. Review the full revision terms.
Do you keep a backup of my design files?
Delivered production files may be retained for up to 6 months for repeat-order support and minor file requests. Clients should keep permanent backups.
Which file formats are included?
We commonly deliver DST, PES, EXP, JEF, VP3 and related machine-ready formats. Commercial and native formats including EMB, CND, PXF, DSB and U01 can also be requested when quoting. For vector tracing, common outputs include AI, EPS, SVG, PDF and clean print-ready files.
Is vector tracing included with embroidery digitizing?
Vector tracing is a separate service when artwork needs cleanup before digitizing. If your logo is blurry, pixelated, or low resolution, we can recommend the best setup during quote review.
How fast can I receive my file?
Standard-ready orders are typically delivered within 4–24 hours after payment confirmation and receipt of complete artwork and instructions. Complex or multi-file jobs may take up to 72 hours. Review the delivery policy.
Are payments refundable?
Confirmed and paid custom digital orders are final and non-refundable. Standard Digitizing does not offer voluntary refunds while an order is awaiting production, in progress, completed or delivered. Unlimited free revisions remain available within the original agreed specifications. Mandatory rights under applicable law or binding payment-provider rules are not excluded. Review the full no-refund policy.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Pricing starts from the listed rates, and any complexity, rush need, artwork cleanup, or special placement requirement is reviewed before the job starts.
Can I get a quote before ordering?
Yes. Upload your artwork with size, placement, garment type, required format, and deadline so the production path and price can be reviewed first.
