Artwork requirements
What we need
Vector (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) or PNG at 300 DPI at final size, with a transparent background. The file has to be sharp at the size it will be reproduced.
For embroidery
Thread cannot blend, so artwork is stitched as solid shapes. Flat colours and clean edges work as they are, up to about six colours — that is what free digitizing covers. Gradients, drop shadows and photographic fills have to be rebuilt as solid areas first.
At 4 inches wide, lines under 1 mm and text under 5 mm close up in thread.
For DTF print
Gradients, photographs and any number of colours are fine — DTF reproduces what the file shows. What matters is resolution and a clean cut-out: a low-resolution file prints soft, and a photo with its background prints the background too.
Detail holds finer than embroidery, but lines under 0.5 mm can drop out.
What needs work first, either method
Screenshots, AI-generated images, hand drawings, low-resolution files, and photos that need the background removed. That is separate work — we quote it before starting, or suggest a simpler direction.

Crafttory is amazing! After being given a hard time and rejected from different screen printing company, I reached out to Crafttory for a quote and they reached back out immediately. Not only is their customer service speedy and reliable, but they were also able to give me exactly what I needed while answering every single question I had throughout the process. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted at first but they walked me through with their expertise which made the process so much easier as a business owner. I wish I came here sooner but I’m glad I did! Highly recommend, 10/10!

Sooo happy with my order! I wanted to surprise my husband for Father's Day with a personalised sweatshirt and Mariia performed a miracle with my (very) rough draft! The communication was very pleasant, Mariia kept me updated and verified how it should look, helped with choosing the colors and font, and overall created the perfect gift! Thank you sooo much! Everything arrived very neatly packed, wrapped cutely and with washing instructions.
