What is the digitize / art setup fee?
What is the digitize / art setup fee?
A digitize / art setup fee is a one-time charge to convert your artwork into an embroidery file. This file tells our machine which thread colors to use and exactly where to stitch. On orders of 6+ the fee is waived. Repeat orders using the same artwork usually do not require another setup fee.

After you place your order, we’ll send your logo to be digitized. Most digitizing takes about 3 business days, depending on design complexity.
- Orders of 5 or less: you’ll receive a digital mockup for approval.
- Orders of 6 or more: you’ll receive a photo of an actual stitch-out for approval.
Once approved, your order goes into our production queue for fulfillment.
