How is embroidery pricing calculated?

Embroidery pricing depends on whether your design requires digitization or not. Below are the two scenarios:

1. When Digitization is Required

  If you upload an image file (e.g., JPG or PNG), it needs to be digitized into a format suitable for embroidery. The digitization involves a one-time fee per embroidery frame in your product template.

  About Digitization Fees:

  • The digitization fee is solely determined by the number of embroidery frames (areas for placing embroidery) used in your design.
  • Factors such as the stitch count, design size/complexity, and the number of thread colors will not impact the digitization fee.

  Loyalty Program Benefits:

  • The digitization fee per embroidery frame varies by membership tier, starting from USD 5.99. Unlock higher membership tiers and enjoy greater savings on digitization fees as your order volume grows. See the table below for details:

  Once your design is digitized, the file will be saved in the product template and your file library. Future orders using the same digitized file will not incur additional digitization fees.


2. When Digitization is NOT Required

If you already have a .DST embroidery file or want to use custom text embroidery, no digitization fee is needed. The embroidery pricing will be calculated directly based on the number of embroidery frames, frame dimensions, and stitch counts.


Embroidery Pricing Table:

For both digitized designs and .DST files (including custom text embroidery), the starting prices are as follows:

Important Note: After digitization is completed, the estimated stitch count will be updated to reflect the actual stitch count. The pricing for subsequent orders of this product template will be based on this updated stitch count.
