A logo that looks fine on screen can fall apart when embroidered or printed small on a product. Preparing your logo properly is what makes it reproduce cleanly. Here is how to get your logo production-ready for accessories.
File formats that work
Manufacturers need your logo in the right format, usually vector files for embroidery and print, which scale and reproduce cleanly. A low-resolution image pulled from a website is rarely enough. Providing proper artwork files from the start avoids quality problems and delays.
Minimum sizes and detail
Fine detail in a logo can be lost when reproduced small, especially in embroidery, where very thin lines and tiny text do not stitch well. Knowing the minimum size your logo works at, and simplifying detail where needed, ensures it reproduces sharply on a cap or beanie.
Colours and matching
Specify your logo colours precisely, ideally by reference, so they reproduce accurately. Some decoration methods reproduce certain colours better than others, and there can be limits on the number of colours. Clarify this early so there are no surprises.
Sampling decoration before production
Always sample the decoration before a full run, so you can see exactly how your logo looks on the product and adjust if needed. Engelite helps prepare artwork and samples decoration for approval before production. Send us your logo and we will make it work on your product.
