Artwork & Digitising for Patches, Labels and Transfers
Artwork and digitising service turns a brand logo into instructions a specific production process can use. Vector cleanup, stitch planning, relief maps and stone placement each solve different problems, so the source file must be translated for the chosen construction and finished size.
File intake
Five checks before artwork enters production planning
Geometry
Finished dimensions and proportions.
Colour
Named references and material intent.
Construction
Stitch, relief, print or stone route.
Placement
Garment location and orientation.
Logo file rescue
Recover intent without inventing brand details
A weak source file can start a discussion, but unclear letterforms, hidden edges and approximate colours must return to the buyer for a decision.
Rebuild clean curves only after the logo proportions are confirmed.
Supply outlined text or identify the exact typeface and spelling.
Separate background, border and negative space deliberately.
Replace screen appearance with named approval references.
Production outcomes

Vector source
Best for controlled shapes
Editable paths preserve curves, scale and separations for moulded, printed and cut constructions.
- Outlined type
- Closed paths
- Named colour regions
- No hidden objects
Raster reference
Useful when detail is visible
A high-resolution image can show texture or a visual target, but it may still require redrawing and buyer confirmation.
- Show the full design
- Avoid compression damage
- State finished size
- Attach colour references
Process translation
One logo needs different production intelligence

Open construction →What files work best for custom patch artwork?
Editable vector files are preferred for shape-based work. A high-resolution raster image may be usable when edges, text and colours can be interpreted clearly at finished size.
Is artwork setup always free?
Artwork review and setup scope depend on the product and requested changes. The quotation should state which preparation is included and whether complex redrawing, digitising or multiple revisions carry a charge.
What is embroidery digitising?
Digitising converts visual artwork into stitch instructions, including stitch type, direction, density, sequence and underlay. It is a production file, not simply a traced logo.
Can a small JPEG become a production-ready logo?
Sometimes, if the intended shapes and wording are unambiguous. Missing detail, uncertain fonts or hidden edges require buyer confirmation rather than guesswork.
Why does the artwork proof look simpler than my logo?
Finished size, material, stitch or stone dimensions, relief and manufacturing clearances set practical limits. Simplification protects recognition and producibility.
What should I approve on the proof?
Check wording, proportions, dimensions, colours, relief or stitch logic, border, placement, orientation and the exact revision number.
