Do's and Don'ts

1. Avoid using tiny text and thin lines

Small letters or thin lines can be hard to discern in the final embroidery.

2. Reduce the use of solid backgrounds

Patterns covering most of the embroidery area may exceed the maximum stitch count limit, significantly increasing costs.

3. Avoid including small details

Ensure your embroidery design does not have too many small details, as they might not be visible clearly.

4. Choose appropriate garments

The type of fabric you choose is key to your embroidery's appearance. For big or detailed designs with sharp edges, go for thicker fabrics like sweatshirts. They give better support and prevent fabric damage. Lighter fabrics like thin T-shirts, especially those under 200g, are better for smaller, simpler designs to keep the fabric smooth.

5. Minimize color changes

Our design creator allows for up to 30 color changes within an embroidery design. For multi-color designs, please streamline the color sequence to eliminate redundant color change(COLOR_BREAK) commands.

Pricing

You can add multiple embroidery frames (areas for placing embroidery on garments) to each product template. Each frame has different dimensions, stitch counts, and prices:

*The number of thread colors you select won't change the cost of your embroidery.
*No digitization fees, whether you upload DST files or add custom text.

Scaling Guide

Embroidered patterns will maintain their actual size across all garment sizes. If a garment has both DTG and embroidery on the same side, neither will be scaled.

FAQS

1. Can I use both DTG printing and embroidery on the same product?

Yes, you can use both DTG printing and embroidery on the same product template at PODpartner.

2. Will adding DTG printing to my custom embroidery order increase the production time?

Absolutely not! Integrating DTG printing into your custom embroidery order won't extend the production time. For detailed shipping information, please visit the "Shipping" section in the navigation bar on our official website.

3. Can I upload images for embroidery?

Currently, we only accept .dst files for embroidery. Image embroidery is coming soon! Stay tuned!

4. Are there any digitization fees for embroidery at PODpartner?

There are no digitization fees for uploading .dst files or using custom text embroidery. However, you are responsible for ensuring the quality of the .dst file you upload, as we will use it directly for production once we receive your order. Any production issues caused by errors in your uploaded .dst file will be your responsibility.

5. Does the number of thread colors affect the price of my embroidery?

No. The price remains the same whether you use one color or 15 colors in your embroidery design.

6. Will the final garment look exactly like my design?

While we strive to produce garments that closely match your design, there may be subtle differences due to the printing process and fabric characteristics. Factors such as color variances, fabric texture, and techniques can affect the final appearance. If there is a discrepancy between the design area and the mockups, the final appearance will be based on the design area.
