Vector vs Raster
How to tell if your Artwork is Vector or Raster: Enlarge your image 200% or larger. If your image is a Raster image the edges will be blurry and appear to have various shades of color. If your image has crisp edges and the color appears solid, then the image is most likely Vector art.
Vector Files: Vector art is created using vector software programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. This is the type of file we need to be able to Digitize and produce the DST file needed to be able to produce your embroidered garment.
Raster Files: Additional fees will apply if you submit Artwork in raster format. You may reach out to order@bestsafetywear.com for pricing. Exact color matching from a Raster file is not always attainable. We will do our best to match color.

Stitch Counts
At a glance, we can get an idea of the stitch count. We approximate each square inch as 1000 stitches. It is not a perfect science because each digitized artwork is distinct depending on fill and outlines. We cannot know the exact stitch count until the Artwork or Logo is Digitized.
Once your file is digitized, we will know the exact number of stitches per logo.
For pricing all stitch counts will be rounded up to the nearest thousand.
Shirts and Caps may not be combined for quantity piece pricing.
Fonts & Colors
Best Safety Wear works with a collection of Standard Fonts and ISACORD Thread Colors.
Thread Colors: All colors in the artwork file should be set to spot colors and assigned a Standard Color or Pantone Color (Link).
PMS Color Matching to Thread Color: No charge.
Text: 10 pt. font or above. To avoid issues please convert all fonts to outlines, provide font file and font name, or use Best Safety Wear Standard Fonts.
Embroidery Placement & Size
Artwork size: All Artwork should be set in the file to the actual Embroidery size and noted in your order.
Placement/Location: Find industry-standard placements on the product page for each item under Decoration Placement Locations.
Off-Standard Placement: Fees may occur if there may need adjustment based on each style of garment or if you require off-standard placement or sizing. This must be communicated in the comment section when ordering. See Specialty Items & Considerations
