Artwork Guidelines

Below you'll find the details on how to provide us with the best possible image for your custom order. If you would like our Art Help team to evaluate your artwork, or if you just have a few questions, give us a call at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST or start a live chat now.

Accepted File Types: (bolded types are preferred)
AI, EPS, PDF, SVG, CDR, PNG, JPG, TIF, GIF, BMP

Vector Images (preferred)

Vector File Types: .ai, .svg, .eps, .pdf .cdr

Vector images are made up of lots of tiny dots that can be expanded or contracted when an image is resized. This makes vector images very easy to make smaller or larger than they originally were without making your image look blurry or pixelated.

Here are some vector artwork tips you or your designer can use:

• Make sure your document is cropped as close as possible to the artwork
• Convert all paths and text to 'outlines' or 'curves'
• PDFs should be 1-page documents

Raster Images

Raster File Types: .png, .tif, .gif, .jpg, .bmp

Raster images consist of static dots, or pixels, that make up all the colors, shadows and highlights in an image. Most often these images are created by scanning artwork or digital photographs, or by "painting" with a photo editing or paint program (Adobe Photoshop or GIMP). Most images you'll find in a Google Image Search are going to be raster.

Raster images cannot be printed larger than they are saved without a loss of quality. For best results, create raster files measuring at least as large as the area on which you will be printing (if not larger), at a high-resolution (300DPI). Images taken from web sites may not be high resolution and may not reproduce well. Transparent formats (.png, .tif) work best.

Don't see your file type listed? Not sure if your artwork meets our specifications? Need a little help getting your design to pop? Call us for help and a FREE artwork evaluation! 877-535-5646, option 3, or start a live chat.

Embroidery

Our embroidery process creates a hand-made, stitched, professional look perfect for your business, group or sports team. We have hundreds of free embroidery clipart designs that you can use without fees or minimum order restrictions.

To embroider your own logo onto custom apparel, we first have to digitize the file, or turn your image into a rich, three-dimensional format perfect for embroidery.

A one-time, non-refundable $49.99 digitizing fee will be charged for each uploaded image file. However, we'll waive this fee* if you order six or more of the same garment with the embroidered logo! (*Waived fee does not apply to full back embroidery.) Learn more about Digitization.

There are two types of embroidery:

• Small Format Embroidery - left/right chest, sleeves and small back placements; maximum embroidery size for shirts is approx. 4"w x 4"h; letters can be embroidered as small as 0.25" high.
• Cap or Visor Embroidery - maximum embroidery size for custom baseball caps is 4.2"w x 2.1"h; maximum embroidery size for visors is 4.2"w x 1.1"h.; letters can be embroidered as small as 0.25" high.

Quoted embroidered product prices include a front, one location embroidery element. Additional locations will incur extra fees.

The Small Format Embroidery placement covers up to 10,000 stitches. If artwork exceeds that limit when it is digitized, we may contact you about additional charges. Learn more about stitch overages.

Please note: The digitized file is created in a proprietary format by our artwork team in order to give you the highest quality finished product available. Because of this, we cannot email or sell the digitized files. Your digitized logo will be saved in your account and can be used on any of our thousands of embroidery-ready products.

Embroidery is available on a wide variety of fabric types. Slight puckering or curling around an embroidered design may occur on lightweight, polyester garments due to high stitch counts or a high density design. Our production team does everything possible to reduce this effect, but any remaining puckering is not considered a defect and is merely the result of using this decoration method on lighter fabric weights.

Learn more about embroidery fonts, layouts, and thread colors, and design your own custom embroidered apparel.

Sewn On Tackle Twill & Embroidery Appliqué

Sewn on Tackle Twill and Full Back Embroidery Appliqué, often used for sweatshirts, jackets and team uniforms, creates a nostalgic, upscale look with pieces of fabric (usually a poly/cotton twill) that are cut out and then sewn or embroidered.

A one-time, non-refundable $49.99 digitizing fee will be charged for each uploaded image file. However, we'll waive this fee* if you order six or more of the same garment with the embroidered logo! (*Waived fee does not apply to full back embroidery.)

Full Back Embroidery Appliqué requires a one-time, non-refundable $99.99 digitizing fee (waived if ordering six or more of the same garment with full back embroidery) and may incur additional decoration costs. You will be prompted to accept these terms before designing a full back placement. Learn more about Digitization.

Size and Cost Requirements:

• Small Format Shirt or Jacket Back Embroidery: maximum size of 4"w x 4"h; can be used under the collar of a shirt/jacket or below embroidered text under the collar across the shoulder blades (text will be approximately 1" high characters).
• Full Back Embroidery / Twill Application Costs:
• 1-5 Pieces $60
• 6 Pieces $54
• 12 Pieces $48
• 24+ Pieces $45

The Full Back Embroidery placement covers up to 80,000 stitches. If artwork exceeds that limit when it is digitized, we may contact you about additional charges. Learn more about stitch overages.

Before sewing your garments, we will email you a sew-out of your logo on a fabric swatch for your approval. Any delays in final design approval will delay your order.

Due to the labor-intensive nature of these decoration types, Sewn on Tackle Twill and Full Back Embroidery Appliqué decoration placements will add an additional 1 week turnaround to your order.

FREE embroidery setup promotion requires extensive embroidery design set-up investment. Any additions, deletions or alterations from the original design you provided will be charged a $50 alteration fee. If you wish to cancel your order, a $50 cancellation fee will be charged for the design setup investment.

Digital Printing & Screen Printing

LogoSportswear offers the most advanced imprinting capabilities in the industry. Whether you've uploaded your own image or photo or are using any of our free custom t-shirt design templates, we'll make sure it looks great on your product.

Screenprinting works well for vibrant designs (or designs on dark-colored apparel) using spot color printing or four color process. The screenprint process involves forcing ink through prepared screens of fine material to create designs. The maximum imprint size is 12"w x 12"h. Screenprinting is generally used with quantities of 24 or more due to the extra setup required.

Digital printing is a direct-to-garment process where water-based inks are printed directly onto the product. Because the inks are absorbed into the fabric, this print method can only be used for 100% cotton products. Digital printing is used for full color designs, ideal for photo t-shirts. It offers less restrictions than screenprinting and can be used with a wider variety of file formats, including vector art, high resolution bitmap images or digital camera photos. There are no minimums or setup fees with digital printing.

For best quality, images should be in vector art format. See Artwork Guidelines for more information.

Cadcut Printing

Cadcut Printing uses a high-performance print/cut technology to create contour-cut designs that are applied to garments with a heat-press. The specialized films are extremely durable and soft to the touch.

This application is a great method to apply team names & numbers to athletic uniforms and for decorating dark garments. With dark garments, we use an opaque film that prevents the garment color from bleeding through the graphic. This decoration method is also very popular on blend fabrics, such as polyester/cotton or tri-blend fabrics.

In addition to standard color choices, we also offer 8 glitter colors to give your design a little extra pop!

Cadcut designs can only be created using 2-color, vector designs no larger than 11.8" x 11.8". Full color images can be created using Versacamm.

To convert your design to a vector image, you must use CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape to save to outlines or along the curves. Once this is done, save the file to .eps format. NOTE: Not all .eps files are in vector format. You must convert them first and then save to this format. For assistance converting your file to vector format, please contact us.

Sublimation Printing

Sublimation is a printing method used on dry performance or moisture management fabrics to maximize their wicking properties. Rather than applying a layer of ink or film like traditional printing methods, sublimation uses heat to dye polyester fibers without restricting air and moisture flow through the garment.

This permanent process creates long-lasting, vibrant designs that will never ever crack or peel.

Sublimation can only be used on light-colored garments and cannot be used with designs requiring white printing.

See our line of custom sublimated apparel, custom sublimated t-shirts and custom sublimated jerseys.

Laser Etching

Utilizing laser technology, we can etch your design on a variety of fabrics. The end result differs by fabric, but is always a precise, clean mark that creates a unique, upscale look.

Our advanced laser system can achieve smaller detailing than other laser machines and allows you to take advantage of unique placements, such as across zippers and seams or down sleeves. For best results, laser etching is recommended for medium-shade garments.

Due to the necessary setup and equipment, there is a minimum order quantity of 12 or more for laser etching.

I'm placing a repeat order or adding individual items to match an existing order. Will they be decorated the same as the first order?

We make every effort to ensure your product decoration will be consistent with prior orders. However, it is possible that the decoration method on a follow-up order may be different from your initial order. We determine decoration method based on a variety of factors, including quantity and number of decoration colors, in order to provide you with the best available decoration at the best possible price. If you have a concern about exact matching to a previous order, please contact our sales team at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST.

What is digitization, and why does my logo have to be digitized?

Our digitization process converts your logo into a stitch-ready format that our industrial embroidery machines use to decorate the garment of your choice. There is a one-time, non-refundable fee to digitize your logo for each embroidery size. Learn more about digitization fees.

Begin the digitization process by uploading your logo on our digitize page.

If you need assistance with digitizing your logo or with any other part of your order, please call our helpful sales representatives toll free at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST

What are artwork and digitization fees?

Artwork fees and digitizing fees are our in-house labor fees to recreate your artwork into the format required for our production methods. Your artwork is converted to a proprietary format by our artwork team in order to give you the highest quality finished product available.

A one-time, non-refundable $49.99 digitizing fee will be charged to digitize each uploaded image file for Small Format Embroidery or Cap or Visor Embroidery. Full Back Embroidery Appliqué requires a one-time, non-refundable $99.99 digitizing fee and may incur additional decoration costs. You will be prompted to accept these terms before designing a full back placement.

Pricing shown is for up to 10,000 stitches. If your design will require more than 10,000 stitches, you may be required to pay stitch overage fees. Any potential fees would be assessed during the proofing process and would be sent to you for approval. Learn more about stitch overages.

You will only pay the digitizing fee once per digitization size for each logo or design submitted. Once we have converted your design to our stitch-ready format, you can use it at that size in future orders on LogoSportswear.com and TeamSportswear.com without paying again.

If you order six or more of the same garment with the same logo, we'll waive the digitizing fee!

Orders that are canceled after artwork has been digitized will still be charged the digitizing fee, even if it would have been waived had the order been processed.

Back To Top

What are stitch overages, and why am I being charged stitch overage fees?

Digitization converts your logo or design into a stitch-ready format for use with our industrial embroidery machines. During the process, several factors are considered, including design elements & complexity, number of colors and size of the embroidery location. The more complex a logo is, the higher its stitch count will be. All of our embroidery clipart elements are 10,000 stitches or less. Simple logo files will likely be digitized for 10,000 stitches or less. The first 10,000 stitches are included in the embroidery decoration price for your selected custom apparel item. Large-format embroidery placements include the first 80,000 stitches.

Once your logo has been digitized, our sales team will provide you with a digital proof for review and information regarding any potential stitch overages. Stitch overage fees are applied to each placement location on each item decorated using an embroidered design over 10,000 stitches (or over 80,000 for large-format). The fee per item may decrease as order volume increases.

You will be asked to approve both the proof and any stitch overage fees before your order goes into production via a secure payment email. We may be able to work with you to adjust the logo and remove stitch overages before you give your approval. Please note that delays in proof approval or additional edits to digitized files may result in delayed delivery dates.

For more information on stitch overages, please call our helpful sales representatives toll free at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST.

If I have multiple logos that need to be digitized, do I have to pay each time?

Yes, each logo you wish to use on embroidered products must be digitized separately.

Back To Top

Can I receive a discount for purchasing multiple forms of digitization?

Yes! We offer a 10% discount for the purchase of both small and large forms of digitization. You must purchase your digitization all at once and the same logo must be used for all forms of digitization to be eligible for the discount. Please note that coupon codes do not apply to digitization fees.

Browse our selection of custom embroidered apparel to get started.

Back To Top

What are the artwork requirements to have your logo digitized?

Digitization looks best when logos are composed of large areas of solid colors with no gradients or fine lines, no photos and no small text. Text cannot be stitched smaller than 1/4". See Artwork Guidelines for more information.

Back To Top

How long does it take to have my logo digitized?

Turn-around for digitization is usually around two business days. We will email you a digital proof of your logo for your approval. You must approve your logo before your order can go into production. Delays in approving your proof may result in delayed delivery dates.

Back To Top

Do you provide me with a proof of the digitized logo?

Yes! We will provide you with a virtual proof of your logo via email in PDF format. A JPEG file may be requested if you are unable to open PDF files. You must approve your logo before it can be added to your account and before your order can go into production. Delays in approving your proof may result in delayed delivery dates.

Back To Top

I already have my logo in a digitized format. Can I send you the digitized files?

Absolutely! We can accept digitized logos in OFM (preferred), DST, CND and EXP file formats. Once we receive your files, we can evaluate them and add designs to your account if they meet our stitch count requirements and quality standards. LogoSportswear is not responsible for final embroidery quality on orders created using a previously digitized logo file.

Back To Top

Can I change the color of my logo?

Yes! You can do this in a few ways. When checking out or designing your product online, simply leave a comment regarding what colors you'd like to change. You can also change your logo colors during the proof process via email with one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives. Once you approve the color changes, we will add your logo to your account. If you want to match specific PMS colors, please provide those colors so we can select the embroidery thread color closest to your desired color. CMYK and RGB values are not acceptable for color matching. You may request a thread chart for assistance selecting your final embroidery colors.

Back To Top

Can you send me the digitized files?

The digitized file is created in a proprietary format by our artwork team in order to give you the highest quality finished product available. Because of this, we cannot email or sell the digitized files. Your logo will be saved in your account and can be used on any of our thousands of embroidery-ready products, as well as in your Share & Sell™ store or Custom Shop.

For Text: Clicking on a text element will automatically open Step 3 "Edit Design" in the Online Designer workbench. Below the text field, there will be a color dropdown box. Clicking on this dropdown will open a color selection panel. Select your text color from a variety of available options.

For Clipart Elements: Clicking on a clipart element will automatically open Step 3 "Edit Design" in the Online Designer workbench. Below the size slider, there will be a color dropdown box.

What does "Preview Unavailable" / "proof" mean?

When you see "Preview Unavailable" after uploading an image, it means that the image was either too large or is not a valid image type to provide a live preview in the Online Designer. This does not mean that the image will not work. We always encourage you to use high resolution or vector artwork when designing.

If you see a "Preview Unavailable" message, simply move the placeholder into the appropriate place on your garment. Once you place your order, our graphics production department will update your digital proof for you, which will be emailed for approval within 1-2 business days.

Our Art Help Desk is available to review your image files and provide assistance as needed. Please refer to Artwork Specifications for more information.

Note About Online Designer Preview Accuracy

The Online Designer allows you to see a preview of your custom apparel as you design it. Please note that this preview is not an exact representation, and is meant only to give you a general idea of the end result. We have standard locations for decoration (e.g., left/right chest areas, back, under back collar) that may vary slightly from what you see in your Online Designer preview. Our production team will always work to make sure your design looks its best on the custom apparel products you order. Slight deviations between the Online Designer preview and your final product should not be considered errors.

I received a warning that the colors I chose for decoration closely match the colors of the product I selected. Do I need to change anything?

This warning tells you that the decoration colors you've selected closely match the color of your product. You may choose to keep the colors as you have selected them if creating a "tone on tone" design was your intention. The warning is simply to let you know that the design may be difficult to read or view if left in the selected colors, and to give you the opportunity to adjust those colors if you want to do so.

How will my jerseys be printed?

Jerseys are usually printed with the cadcut printing process. This process uses high-performance print/cut technology to create designs that are contour-cut and applied to garments with heat-press technology.

For dark garments, we use an opaque film that prevents the garment color from bleeding through the graphic. Learn more about cadcut printing.

If you are placing a high quantity order, your jerseys may be screenprinted. Learn more about screenprinting.

Cadcut designs should be no larger than 12" x 12". Please refer to Artwork Guidelines for more information. For questions or assistance converting your file to vector format, call us at 877-535-5646, option 3 for Art Help.

Our calculator will add $3.95 for each additional color or placement. Bulk discounts may apply. Please contact our helpful sales representatives at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST for more information.

My logo doesn't look how I expected - how can I fix it?

If you uploaded a logo with more than one or two colors on a product that only allows one or two colors, our online designer is smart enough to recognize that and simplify your logo. It typically picks the most common color(s) in your logo to use, but if the end result is not what you want, give our customer support team a call and they'll be happy to help make your logo look the way you want it. And of course, if your logo or design doesn't look the way you want it for any other reason, call at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST, option 3 for help.

What is Share & Sell™?

The Share & Sell™ service allows individuals to open online stores to sell their designs on customized apparel while earning a 15% commission on each sale. Individuals can also choose to decline commissions on their stores, providing a centralized online location for others to buy their designs at our base price.

Share & Sell™ has no inventory investment for the seller and is fast and easy to set up. Our simple store building tools help people open their online store and easily share/sell their designs on websites, blogs and social networking sites.

We manage every aspect of the business, including order management, fulfillment, secure payment processing and customer service. All you have to do is share your store information and promote your products.

How do I set up my Share & Sell™ store? Which products can I add?

Go to the Share & Sell™ page to set up your store. Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the form labeled "Open Your Own Store." Once this form is completed, click the "Open Your Store" button. You will then be able to edit the appearance of your store and choose what products to sell.

All products with a printed decoration option can be sold in Share & Sell™ stores. Embroidered products created using our free embroidery templates and free embroidery clipart can also be added to your store.

To use a custom embroidered logo, the logo must be digitized before you can add it to products for your store. There is a one-time, non-refundable fee to digitize your logo, which turns it into an embroidery-ready format. Please refer to the Digitization section for more information on the process and applicable fees.

When you choose and design a product, you will see a gray "SELL" button in the top right corner of the Online Designer. Click the SELL button to add the product to your store.

If you have created designs with us in the past, use the "Bulk Create" button in your store's administration panel to add many products to your store at one time.

Contact us with any questions or issues regarding your Share & Sell™ store.

How do sales commissions work?

LogoSportswear sets the selling price for products in your store. You can choose to either receive a 15% commission on every item sold OR to discount the products in your store by 15% (saving your customers money) without receiving any commission. Please see Can I decline commissions and operate a no commission store? for more information.

When someone buys custom apparel from your store, we will produce and ship the product directly to the buyer within 2 weeks (some products/decoration options require a longer production time). If you've decided to accept the 15% commission, we will credit your account 15% commissions on net sales (less shipping and returns if applicable).

Commissions can be given as store credit, or you can receive a monthly check if the store has earned $50.00 or more. You can only request store credit if you have accumulated $20.00 or more in commissions. To request store credit, please contact us and include the name or URL of your store.

Examples:

• If you sell $500.00 of merchandise in April, we will send you a check on May 1 for $75.00. [$500.00 × .15 = $75.00]
• If you sell $200.00 of merchandise in April, you can request a gift certificate for $30.00 or wait to accumulate more sales commission. If in May you sell an additional $200.00 of merchandise, we will send you a check on June 1 for $60.00. [($200.00 + $200.00) × .15 = $60.00]

How do I receive payments?

There are two payment options for Share & Sell™ store owners. If you have earned a minimum of $50.00 in commissions, you can receive a check (sent out monthly). If you have earned a minimum of $20.00 in commissions, you can choose to receive store credit.

To request store credit, please contact us and include the name or URL of your store.

Please see How do sales commissions work? for more information.

Do you have quantity discounts?

We offer quantity discounts so Share & Sell™ store owners can buy in bulk and sell product in physical locations. Bulk pricing is displayed below the regular pricing within your store. For Share & Sell™ stores, quantity discounts stop at 48 pieces. To place larger orders, please call toll free at 877-535-5646, Mon. - Fri. 8:00am - 6:00pm EST for a quote.

What are the rules when picking a store URL?

Your Share & Sell™ store URL is the web address that customers will use to access your store. It can only contain letters (a-z, A-Z) and numbers (0-9), and cannot have any spaces, hyphens or underscores. Please note that the URL is case insensitive.

Though technically allowable, some URL's are not recommended due to potential confusion for your customers. For best results, try to pick a simple name that directly relates to your Share & Sell™ store.

Acceptable URLs:

• mystore » https://mystore.logosoftwear.com
• SuperStore » https://SuperStore.logosoftwear.com
• number1store » https://number1store.logosoftwear.com

Not Recommended:

• httprobsstore » https://httprobsstore.logosoftwear.com CONFUSING

Unacceptable:

• My Store » INVALID
• Super_Store » INVALID
• #1store » INVALID

Can I decline commissions and operate a no commission store?

Share & Sell™ store owners can choose not to accept commissions in order to offer products at a reduced rate, passing the savings along to their customers.

To decline commission on your store, simply select "decline commissions" when creating your Share & Sell™ store. Existing storeowners can contact us to change their store status from commission to non-commission, and vice versa.

For Share & Sell™ stores that have already accumulated commission and submit a request to become a non-commission store:

• If you have earned $50.00 or more in commission, we will send you a check for that amount.
• If you have earned $20.00 - $50.00 in commission, you will receive a gift certificate for store credit.
• If you have earned less than $20.00 any existing commissions will be zeroed out.

Non-commission stores are NOT eligible to receive commission checks or store credit.
