Why shops outsource

Artwork is where good jobs stall.

01

The owner is stuck in Illustrator

Every hour spent redrawing a customer’s blurry logo is an hour not spent selling or running the floor.

02

Cheap files cost more on the machine

Unchecked auto-digitized files break thread, pucker fabric and slow the machine down. Bad seps waste screens, ink and shirts.

03

Vendors that go quiet

Jobs sit waiting on art. Rush orders get turned away because nobody can promise a file by this afternoon.

EmbDigitizers is run by Shees Zubair, who has prepared production files for more than ten years. About us →

“Shees was quick and communicative. He helped us convert our PNG logo into a file that we could embroider on our company jackets. The quality was perfect. If you need a similar service, I’d highly recommend hiring Shees.”
