Logo Embroidery on Jackets: What File Format Do You Need?

If you're considering adding a logo to your jackets, whether for a business, team, or special event, understanding the file format needed for embroidery is crucial. At Kim's Alterations in Savannah, we often hear questions about this topic, and we're here to help you navigate the process.

Common File Formats for Embroidery

When it comes to logo embroidery, not all file formats are created equal. Here are some of the most common types you'll encounter:

• This is one of the most widely used formats for embroidery machines. It provides the necessary data to create a stitch file.
• EMB: The native format for Wilcom software. It’s great for making edits before the final file is generated.
• PES: Used by Brother machines, this format stores stitch data along with design information.
• EXP: Commonly used for Tajima embroidery machines; it’s another popular choice among professionals.
• JPG or PNG: While these formats are great for graphics, they need to be converted to a compatible embroidery format for actual stitching.

What You Should Provide

When you come into our shop or reach out, it’s best to have your logo in one of the embroidery-friendly formats listed above. If you only have a JPG or PNG, don’t worry! We can help convert it into the right format, but keep in mind that some detail may be lost in the process.
