Custom embroidery made to last

You can get custom embroidery through local companies that specialize in stitching designs. These services often require in-person visits, manual setup, and wholesale embroidery orders, which can increase turnaround time and the final price.

Alternatively, you can get embroidery online through print-on-demand services like Printful. All you need to do is choose a custom product, upload your design, and submit it for digitization. With no order minimums, you can create exactly as many embroidered products as you need.

From there, we’ll handle the entire custom embroidery process – from stitch setup to production and worldwide fulfillment. This way, you can create high-quality products that your customers will be excited to wear, use, and keep.

For best results, upload PNG and PDF files. On the custom embroidered product page, make sure to review the downloadable templates under File guidelines to design your artwork with confidence.

When a product supports more than one custom embroidery option, you can select either Standard or Unlimited color embroidery on the product page.

You can also browse our Catalog and filter by Unlimited color embroidery to find t-shirts, polos, hats, tote bags, and other custom products that support more colorful designs.

Digitization converts your design into a file format that custom embroidery machines can read. This file tells the machine exactly how to stitch your design, including stitch type, density, and thread color.

Digitization is a one-time setup per design, with a small fee applied. This process ensures your custom stitching comes out clean, accurate, and ready for consistent, high-quality production.

That said, you can get these fees waived by placing a bulk embroidery order of 25 or more items.

To see exactly how much you’ll save, check the Bulk price calculator on the custom embroidered product page.

Mix products, sizes, and designs, and reuse digitized files at no extra cost. This setup offers the best value for designing custom embroidered apparel for teams or special events.

To create your own embroidery pattern, you can use Printful’s embroidery designer – the Design Maker. It includes awesome embroidery-ready graphics you can use right away, or you can upload your own custom design.

From there, use the Pattern tool to repeat and customize your art across the product.

If you prefer a custom approach, you can also work with a professional designer through platforms like Fiverr or use graphic design tools such as Canva or Adobe software. Just make sure your final design meets our file guidelines for smooth digitization.
