Design and file services
Alongside the patches and apparel we make, we create custom design files for makers, print shops and small businesses — laser engraving and cut files, sublimation and DTF artwork, screen print separations, Cricut SVGs and embroidery stitch files. Every file is made to order, prepared for your machine and material, and proofed before you pay for the final version.
Need a custom SVG design, a custom PNG design or a custom DXF drawing made to order? We create print-ready and cut-ready design files for laser engraving, laser cutting, sublimation, DTF, screen printing, Cricut and embroidery, all from one studio.
| Price | Quoted per design — every quote is free |
| File formats | SVG, DXF, PNG, PDF, AI, EPS — and DST, PES, JEF, EXP and other stitch formats |

Artwork clean-up
Most good files start with clean artwork. If all you have is a low-resolution JPG, a screenshot or a sketch, our vector art conversion redraws it by hand as a scalable vector — the starting point for every engraving, cutting, printing and embroidery job above.
Who we work with
- Laser engraving and laser cutting businesses
- Print shops, DTF printers and screen printers
- Embroidery businesses that need a reliable digitizer
- Etsy, print-on-demand and small business sellers
- Hobby makers with a Glowforge, xTool or Cricut
Ready-made designs
We are building a library of ready-made design bundles — laser engraving and cut files, SVGs and print-ready PNGs. Until it opens, every file is made to order for your exact project.
Custom SVG design and custom PNG design
Every custom SVG design we make has clean, closed paths and sensible layers, so it cuts or engraves without fixes. Custom PNG designs are made at 300 DPI at the final print size, with a transparent background. We supply SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS, AI and PDF versions as needed, and embroidery files in DST, PES and other machine formats.
Image to vector conversion and logo vectorization
If your artwork is a low-resolution JPG, a screenshot or a photo of a sign, we redraw it. Our SVG conversion service covers image to vector conversion, image to SVG conversion, image to DXF conversion, raster to vector design and logo vectorization. Artwork cleanup for printing, colour separation artwork and halftone conversion are part of the same service.
- Logo vectorization for print, cut and embroidery
- Raster to vector design from JPG, PNG or PDF
- Vector tracing for laser engraving and laser cutting
- Print file preparation and artwork cleanup
Design files for print shops and small businesses
Print shops, apparel decorators, laser engravers and Etsy sellers use us as an outside design team. We prepare print production artwork, editable design templates, vector illustration files and print-ready vector files to match your equipment. If you sell the finished products, tell us in your request and we confirm usage of the files in your quote.
