Each product is made with high-quality stitching for a durable, professional finish that represents your brand well. Pricing is transparent, so you’ll always see your embroidery costs upfront – no surprises at checkout. Canadian customers can also expect pricing and shipping options suited for local delivery.
Printful offers three embroidery styles:

No. Digitization is a one-time process to prepare your file for embroidery, and at Printful, we offer it for free for all designs you create with our Design Maker or upload to our platform.
Absolutely. Our Canadian fulfilment centre ships orders across the country, from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. We partner with reliable local carriers to ensure your embroidered apparel reaches your customers safely and efficiently.
Most orders are fulfilled within 2-5 business days. Shipping times to Canada typically range from 3-10 business days, depending on the destination and selected shipping method.
In most cases, you can expect your order to arrive within 5-12 business days. For remote areas, delivery may take slightly longer. For the most accurate timelines and rates, check the shipping options at checkout.
The Design Maker preview gives a close visual estimate, but it won’t be 100% exact. Embroidery adds texture and dimension, which can slightly affect the final look.
For the best outcome, follow our embroidery guidelines when uploading your design. If your file needs adjustments, our team will refine it and send you an updated version for approval before production begins, so you stay in control of the final result.
Before your design can be embroidered, it must be converted into a machine-readable file format. This process is called embroidery digitization. It tells the embroidery machines exactly where to stitch, how densely to stitch, and which thread colours to use.
Digitization ensures consistent, high-quality results across every product. For customers in Canada, this means your designs will look professional and uniform, whether you’re ordering a single item or fulfilling multiple orders.
