What artwork file format do I need for custom patches?
Vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal, but a clear high-resolution PNG or JPG can be digitised. Mughal Apparel converts your artwork to a stitch or print file and sends a mock-up before sampling.
Detail
The best artwork for custom patches is vector (Adobe Illustrator AI, EPS or PDF) because it scales cleanly, but a clear high-resolution PNG or JPG works too. For embroidery and weaving the art is digitised into a stitch file; for sublimation and PVC it is colour-matched to Pantone and moulded. Mughal Apparel prepares a digitised mock-up for your approval before producing a sample — no charge to review.
Key facts
- Vector (AI/EPS/PDF) preferred
- PNG/JPG accepted
- Free digitised mock-up
