Embroidery digitizing (電腦繡花打版) turns a flat logo or lettering into a stitch file the embroidery machine can run. Without this step, the machine cannot follow your artwork. At Ngaimei’s Kwai Chung workshop we digitize incoming artwork on a computer embroidery system, then separate colours, prepare the design and run a stitch-out test, and only then go into production. Existing pages also refer to many years of digitizing experience. We show you a physical stitch-out, rather than describing the result in words alone.
Company logos, names and embroidered badges all go through digitizing. Please send artwork on WhatsApp +852 9457 6303 or call +852 2410 8189. The full sequence is on the order flow page; the service overview is Computer Embroidery in Hong Kong.
What the digitizing process includes
- Artwork received: you send a logo or lettering. Please send whatever file you already have, so we can assess it.
- Digitizing and colour separation: the artwork is turned into a stitch path, and thread-colour layers are planned. Complex designs may need detail adjusted so small lettering and fine lines stay clear on the finished piece.
- A stitch-out test after the design is prepared: a sample is embroidered so you can check size, colour and stitch path.
- Production after approval: only when you have approved the stitch-out do we embroider the garments, caps, bags, towels or badges on the actual order.
To see a rough placement on a T-shirt first, use the design studio. Please note: the studio is a guide to position and colour. It does not replace formal digitizing and a stitch-out test.
Why digitizing cannot be skipped
The same logo does not use the same file for print and for embroidery. Embroidery is limited by stitch density, fabric and the smallest detail that will still sew cleanly. Very fine lines, very small letters, or heavy gradients often have to be simplified at the digitize stage. The stitch-out test exists so both sides can see the real thread result before a large run.
We will not promise, before a test, that a complex file “will sew exactly as designed”. After we have assessed it, we will tell you plainly which parts we recommend adjusting.
Frequently asked questions
How long does digitizing take, and what does it cost?
After we receive the artwork we digitize, separate colours and run a stitch-out test. Please ask us directly for timing and any fee, so that outdated figures are not published here.
Does every name on a uniform need its own digitize?
Names are usually embroidered after a typeface has been chosen. We will explain the arrangement when you enquire. Name embroidery is also described on the embroidery overview (the English child URL is not linked until it is repaired).
