Frequently asked questions

We highly recommend PNG or PDF files. Set your design up for success from the get-go by following our guide on creating the perfect embroidery file. Also, find the downloadable embroidery file guidelines for each product in the product descriptions under the File guidelines tab.

The stitch type depends on your design. At Printful, we offer two types of stitches, Satin stitch and Tatami fill. These will be the ones used in your designs.

Our machines will also recognize Run stitch as the last resort. This is used if the lettering is too small or the details are too thin to be embroidered in a Satin or Tatami stitch.

To get the stitch technique that you want, follow the embroidery file guidelines. Also, watch our video on custom embroidery to learn about the different stitch types, must-follows for designing, embroidery digitizing, and more.

On average, it takes 5–8 business days. We embroider your product in 2–5 business days and the average shipping time is 3 business days, depending on the delivery destination. For more information, check out our shipping speeds and pricing page.

No, we take care of digitizing all embroidery files. We don’t accept already digitized embroidery designs (files that are digitized outside of Printful) because we need to make sure the file is recognized by our embroidery machines.

There’s a one-time fee for each new design, which depends on the type and placement of the design. See our page on digitization and adjustment fees to get an estimate for your design. You can later reuse the digitized files for the same type of embroidery orders (note that the digitized files can’t be used outside of Printful).
