How much does it cost to set up a logo for embroidery?
If your first logo comes in at under 11,000 stitches, we will define that as a standard size logo. We will set up your first standard size logo for free. Over 95% of our existing customer logos are created with less than 11,000 stitches. The odds are definitely in your favor.
If you're still concerned that the odds could turn against you, at your request via phone or email our Logo Specialists will evaluate your logo at no extra charge. If we discover that you might incur charges we can suggest changes to help make sure that your logo retains its quality without incurring additional fees.
Any of your logos that have already been prepared for embroidery always remain available for your use.
If we set up additional standard sized logos, or your first logo is oversized, the payment for the set up is processed upon order submission and all work is unconditionally guaranteed. Please contact us via email or call us at 800-847-4478 if you have any further questions about submitting a new logo.

How can I get my logo to you?
Whatever is easiest for you! We can accept your logo in a couple of ways:
- Upload it on this website if you are signed in by clicking here.
- Mail (1400 Marstellar Street, ATTN: Logo Services, Wilmington, NC 28401. If you have a customer number, please include it with your logo. If you don't yet have a customer number, please include your first and last name along with your email address. You'd be amazed how many logos we receive without return addresses or any identifying information. While this provides hours of entertainment, it really does slow down the ordering process.
-
What type of formats do you accept?
We can accept the following file types under 2MB: JPEG, JPG, GIF, PDF, BMP, EPS, PSD, and AI.
If your logo is not available in any of these digital formats, don't panic. Send us your business card, send us a photo of the side of your truck, send us a box of cookies with your logo on it. (We'd prefer the box to be full of chocolate chip cookies, please.). We'll work to transform your logo into an embroidered work of art no matter what format it is in.

How do I create a screen capture of my logo?
All right, let's get technical for a sec. To create a screenshot of any webpage or capture any screen event please follow the step by step instructions below.
STEP 1
On Windows, press the Print Screen or Prnt Scrn key on your keyboard, found on the upper right (this key will capture the entire screen). Or to capture only the active window press Alt + Print Screen. On Macs, press Command + Shift + 3.
STEP 2
Open up the paint program on your computer: you can use virtually any paint program (including Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel PhotoPaint, or Microsoft Paint) usually found through Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint.
STEP 3
In the paint program select File>New, then Edit>Paste. Pretty simple, right? Your screen capture is now ready to be cropped or scaled. Once you have created the screen capture save the file (note where you saved it) and then upload the file to our website.

How much does it cost to have my logo embroidered onto the items in my order?
Embroidered logos that consist of fewer than 11,000 stitches are
included in the product price. To embroider logos greater than
11,000 stitches, we do charge an Extended Run Fee for the increased
amount of time it takes to sew the logo. Listed below are our
Extended Run Fees and Setup Fees, based on logo stitch count. If
your logo has more than 11,000 stitches, don't worry, we might be able
to help you out! (Setup Fee applies only when a new logo is
submitted.)

In many cases the stitch count for a logo can be reduced while still
retaining the character and appearance of the logo. A simple logo
edit costs $9.95, and a complex edit is $19.95. Our Logo
Specialists will be happy to determine in advance if changes to your
logo are considered simple or complex.
-
Are there any restrictions for the logo?
Your embroidered logo cannot be larger than 4" x 4" and no element can
be smaller than ¼" in height. We highly recommend that you
avoid small text. We have many, many choices for thread color and
can incorporate up to nine different colors in one logo! We're
happy to make recommendations if you need assistance.
-
How much does it cost to change the thread colors on different color shirts?
Absolutely nothing! We can use different colors for your logo on
each different color shirt if you'd like!

Why do I have different "logos" with different Logo ID's for my logos that look exactly the same?
Shirts, hats, visors and fleece all have unique characteristics that have to be considered in "digitizing", or creating, an embroidery design from your logo. Shirts are flat when they are embroidered, hats embroider across a curved surface, visors also embroider across a curved surface, but have a smaller embroidery area, and fleece, which also lays flat when embroidered, is very thick and often has a lot of surface texture which requires extra compensation in digitizing.
Because of these unique product characteristics we have to create individual embroidery designs with separate Logo ID's for each of these product categories. So while it may appear that several logos in a customer's account will look identical, in fact these identical looking logos are digitized very differently and each product type needs to be embroidered in a separate embroidery run.
That is why we have short run fees based on the Logo ID. We run 6 head embroidery machines, and it is very expensive to set up and run a machine for less than 4 items. Please let us know if this isn't 100% clear and we will do our best to explain it better!

What is a Logo ID and what is a Logo Type?
A Logo ID is a unique number assigned to an embroidery design created to be used on a specific product category. We call our product categories Logo Types and they are: embroidered apparel, hats, visors, and Fleece.
