Before we dive into your project, here's what we need from you to ensure seamless digitization of your designs:
Always specify the accurate size for your design. You only need to give us one dimension, and we'll proportionately adjust the other to maintain the design's integrity. Here are some recommended sizes for common embroidery projects:
If your design has specific color requirements, please provide the details. We aim to match your desired colors as closely as possible. For example, if you request "1 color, Red," we'll digitize the red elements and leave the rest empty for your fabric to show through. Being specific with your color preferences will help us get your design right the first time.
It's essential to know the type of machine that will be used to digitize image for embroidery. This information ensures that you receive the correct file format for your embroidery project. While various formats exist, .DST is the most common and widely compatible. However, there are alternative formats for specific machines:
Don't worry if you're unsure about files; we can work with various formats. Just share this information with us, and we'll take it from there.

Below are the most frequently asked questions to provide you with quick and informative answers.
If you still can't find what you're hunting for, go ahead and contact our customer service team.
The process is straightforward. Create a free account at EmbPunch, upload your artwork — any format works, including JPG, PNG, PDF, or AI — fill in your requirements (size, placement, fabric type), and submit. Our team will have your production-ready stitch file ready within 2–4 hours. You review the digital proof before paying, and request free edits if anything needs adjusting.
Any image of your logo works — JPG, PNG, PDF, AI, EPS, or even a photo of a printed design. The higher the resolution, the better the result, but we work with what you have. You don't need an embroidery file to start; that's exactly what we create for you.
EmbPunch charges $1.50 per 1,000 stitches, starting at $7.50 per design. A standard left chest logo typically falls between $7.50 and $12. A jacket back runs $25–$45 depending on complexity. There are no setup fees, no hidden charges, and the price is confirmed before you pay. We also offer flat-rate pricing for shops that prefer predictable costs.
After. We digitize your design first, then you review the digital proof in your account. If you're happy, you pay and download. If you need changes, request them for free — we revise until you're satisfied, then you pay. You never pay for something you haven't approved.
Most designs are completed within 2–4 hours of placing your order. Simple left chest logos are often ready in under an hour. Complex designs like jacket backs or detailed artwork may take up to 24 hours. Rush service is available for an additional $2 per design if you're working to a tight deadline.
A quality digitizing file runs cleanly on a real machine — minimal thread breaks, consistent tension, sharp edges, and no puckering on fabric. This requires correct underlay stitching, fabric-specific density settings, proper pull compensation so lettering stays aligned after stitching, and logical sequencing that reduces unnecessary trims and color changes. At EmbPunch, every file is hand-punched — never auto-digitized — by digitizers who are also trained on physical embroidery machines.
Auto-digitized or poorly made files look fine on screen but fail in production. Common problems include thread breaks from incorrect density, puckering from missing underlay, misaligned lettering from no pull compensation, and excessive trims that slow down production and wear out your machine. A file digitized by someone who understands how machines actually sew will run in fewer tries, with less waste, and produce sharper results every time.
Yes, and it's free. Any left chest or flat design we create can be converted into a cap-ready file at no extra charge. Cap digitizing requires a completely different approach — center-out sequencing, push-back technique to prevent shifting on curved surfaces — and we handle all of that automatically when you request a cap conversion.
We support every major format: DST (Tajima), PES (Brother/Babylock), JEF (Janome/Elna), EXP (Melco), DSB (Barudan), EMB (Wilcom), XXX (Compucon), HUS (Husqvarna/Viking), TAP (Happy), VP3 (Pfaff), and more. If you're unsure which format your machine uses, tell us the brand and model and we'll deliver the correct file automatically.
Both. We regularly digitize for home machines including Brother PE series, Janome, Baby Lock, Singer, and Bernina, as well as commercial machines from Tajima, Barudan, Melco, Happy, and Ricoma. The file is optimized specifically for your machine type, not a generic output.
Yes. We work with embroidery shops, promotional product companies, and apparel decorators that send 10–500+ designs per week. Our order management system lets you place orders, track progress, request edits, and download files all in one place. For bulk pricing arrangements, email us at support@embpunch.com.
Yes. If you're an embroidery shop or promotional products business with consistent volume, we offer wholesale arrangements with priority turnaround. Contact us directly to discuss rates based on your monthly volume.
Absolutely. All files are stored in your private 256-bit SSL encrypted account and are never shared, resold, or used as samples without your permission. Your designs are backed up permanently — you can re-download any file you've ever ordered, at any time, at no extra cost.
Yes, though there are natural limitations to what embroidery can reproduce compared to print. Photorealistic images are digitized using techniques like Sfumato or gradient fill stitching to suggest depth and shading. Our digitizers assess each complex design individually and will advise on any simplifications needed to ensure the file runs cleanly in production — before you pay.
Three things most services don't offer together: we show you the digital proof before you pay, every design is 100% hand-punched by digitizers trained on real embroidery machines, and our edit ratio is under 3.5% — meaning fewer than 4 in 100 designs need revision after the first proof. We've been digitizing since 1989 and have completed over 100,000 orders.
Often better. Local digitizers typically charge $25–$100 per design with 24–72 hour turnaround. EmbPunch delivers the same or higher quality in 2–4 hours from $7.50, with a digital proof system, lifetime file storage, and free revisions. You also get access to your full order history, so reorders take seconds.
Yes. If you're genuinely unhappy with the final result after revisions, we offer a full refund. In practice this is rare — our revision process resolves issues before it gets to that point — but the guarantee exists because we stand behind every file we deliver.
