How Much Does It Costs to Digitize a Logo?

Which steps are involved in digitizing a logo?

If you are competent at digitizing, it’s amazing because there is nothing better than creating your logo. If you are a beginner, fear not! I am sharing the general steps to be followed with any good digitizing software while digitizing logos for embroidery. This is a 5 step process.

1. First, create a digital file of the logo. This can be done by scanning a hard copy of the logo or by creating a vector file using graphic design software.
2. Import the file into specialized embroidery digitizing software to produce a stitch file.
3. Adjust the design, such as changing the thread colors, adding underlay, adjusting the density, and more, to make sure that the final embroidery will look as good as possible.
4. Test the design on a sample fabric to ensure that the design will stitch correctly.
5. At last, save the design file in a format clear to the embroidery machine, such as DST, PES, XXX, JEF, and more.

How can we determine the Cost to digitize a logo?

If you are searching for a profitable way to price your digitized logo, have a look at the following factors that help determine how much a logo should cost.

Cost per stitches:

Most digitizers follow this pricing strategy as it is quite simple for the clients to understand that they have been charged for the number of stitches used in their logo. If you charge for a digitized logo in this way, you might have a hard time dealing with a complex logo because two logos with the same no. of stitches might not be created in the same way.

Flat rate pricing:

Some digitizers charge based on the size of the logo design. The flat rate ranges from $10 to $25 for the left chest and hat logo. It also makes sense for clients to get paid for which type of digitized logo they want. The downside of this pricing strategy leads you toward loss when you are getting complex orders but the design size is small. Being a client of a UK, you are supposed to pay 10 to 20 pounds for a 10 cm sized logo and if the logo is more complex than that, you are expected to charge 75 pounds.

Pricing per hour:

A common way to charge for a digitized logo is based on the hour digitizers take to create it. If the clients want a fast turnaround time, they will pay a little more with the flat rate. You may easily complete the logo in a typical time frame of 12-16 hours. And in a fast turnaround, you don’t need to worry about under-charging complex logos.

However, sometimes you cannot anticipate the exact time required to digitize the client’s logo, therefore you need to be cautious while planning a free quote for pricing estimation. If you charge consumers by the hour, you ought to improve your digitizing speed and efficiency.

In summary, you are not bound to any rule while planning to charge for embroidery digitizing, you can upgrade your package while improving your digitizing level.
