Why is there an artwork set-up fee for new logos?

At Online Workwear, achieving a flawless reproduction of your logo is our top priority. The one-time artwork setup fee is the first and most crucial step in guaranteeing a professional, high-quality finish for your custom apparel.

This fee covers the technical service performed by our in-house graphics department to translate your logo into a production-ready format for our advanced machinery. This isn't a simple file conversion; it's a specialised process that ensures your design looks crisp, clean, and exactly as you intended.

What's Included in Your One-Time Setup?

  1. Professional Digitisation or Vectorisation:
    Our designers manually recreate your logo in the precise format required. For embroidery, this means "digitising" a file that maps every single stitch. For printing and transfers, we create a "vector" file that allows for perfect scaling without any loss of quality.

  2. Digital Mock-up for Approval:
    Before production begins, we send you a digital proof showing how your logo will look on the product. This gives you the opportunity to review the size, placement, and colours.

  3. Complimentary Artwork Amendments:
    We include minor revisions to ensure you are completely happy with the mock-up before we proceed.

*Please be aware, in some cases additional artwork proof amendement fees may apply, please contact our team if you have any questions about artwork set-up.

Once we have prepared your logo, it's kept on file for you. Repeat orders using the same logo will never incur this fee again.

Repeat orders using the same logo won't incur this fee. Colour changes to existing files are free. If you have any questions regarding embroidery set-up, please contact us
