1) Custom logo, requiring digitizing

2) Stock design with lettering (or just lettering) and

3) Monogramming.

Q: What types of items can be embroidered?
A: Most things can be embroidered. The rule of thumb is that we must be able to get the item onto the embroidery machine. In some cases, where an item is too thick or cumbersome to fit into a traditional hoop, we use other methods to get the item on the machine. Traditional items that are embroidered are: clothing, bags, caps and hats.


Q: Do I have to buy the items I want embroidered from you?
A: No, we service many customers who supply their own goods and we provide only the embroidery service.

Q: How is your embroidery priced?
A: Our embroidery service pricing is based on a flat rate under the assumption that most left chest design have about 8000 or less stitches. The higher the number of items being done at one time, the lower the price per stitch-out.

Q: Do you have a setup fee for logos?
A: If the logo is text ONLY there is a minimum $75 set up fee per design. If the logo includes simple shapes in addition to text the charge is $100 per design. If the design is complex and detailed the charge is $150 per design.

Q: Do you have a setup fee for just lettering?
A: If the complexity of the lettering is simple and the design does not require us to email a sample, we do not charge a setup fee. If the lettering requires editing or approval, then we charge a $25 set-up fee.

Q: Do you have a setup fee for using a stock design and lettering?
A: Yes, we charge $45 for setting up a design or logo using a stock design and lettering.

T-Shirt Printing (T-Jet)

Q: What types of items can be printed?
A: Almost all flat cloth based items can be printed using the T-jet Printer.

Q: How is your T-Jet Printing priced?
A: Pricing depends on the item color, imprint size and imprint color.

Q: What type of artwork do you need for T-Jet printing?
A: The General Rule of Thumb is: The cleaner the artwork, the better for the final output. We do have artists available to reproduce hand drawings, but our preference is to have camera-ready artwork. Camera-ready refers to an image that has a vector format in 300 dpi (dots per inch). The most common vector files are from Corel Draw (cdr), Adobe Illustrator (ai) and Photoshop (eps). Other image files such as gif, jpg, jpeg, bmp or tiff can also be used but will require our artist to make adjustments to ensure the best screen printed image possible and result in additional charges.

Q: What is the process for ordering T-Jet printed shirts?

A:

1. Email or Fax the order and the artwork in vectored format, (ai or eps) to Atlantic Stitches
