Cherie4art Commercial Embroidery

Order processing begins with the checkout page:

1. Choose any item and add it into your cart.
2. When you process the cart, an upload link for your logo/art/design is at the top of the shipping information page. Attach a file of any image type through this link to complete the order.
3. An artist will review your order. If there are any questions we may call you, most likely you will be emailed within 24 hours. Production begins an hour after art approval is received from you in most cases.

We ship orders in 10 business days or less in most cases.
Shipping times will vary based on where we are shipping to and the quantity: you will receive a tracking number for most shipping methods. Rush service is available: See the Rush Service information in the FAQ section for more information.

Knowing what your logo is going to look like embroidered is very important to you and to us.
That’s why we create a digital proof of your embroidered logo for you to approve before the first order goes into production.

• We take your logo/design/art, redraw over it with a stitch based CAD program, and then send you a screen shot via email.
• We then ask you to review and approve layout, color and spelling.
• The timeline for production and shipping begins when you approve the art work, typically we begin sewing within an hour of most approval email arrivals.

If you are not satisfied with your proof and we are not able to fix it to your satisfaction, we will cancel your order, delete the file, and refund you the purchase cost.

If you prefer to have the logo sewn prior to purchasing products, we can do it, however a $25.00 fee will be assessed for the sew out. If it needs to be shipped or delivered rather than digitally sent as a photograph, an additional $3.00 will be added for shipping. The timeline for production and shipping begins when you approve the art work, typically we begin sewing within an hour of most approval email arrivals

Why?
Creating a proof sample of an embroidered logo is a time consuming process.
That’s why we create physical proofs of logos only when necessary, especially because typical setup is free. We rely on digital screen shots for approval and they have proved accurate to show the design layout as far as spelling, proportion and color area layout.
We strive to make the most accurate sew out possible: your reputation as well as ours is on the line; and we take it seriously.

Online:
We do not require a minimum order when orders are placed through our online shop:
If you only need a few, you can order just what you need, and the embroidery is still included, free!

For local Pickup/drop off service:
We require a minimum of 6 Items of the same design to qualify for Free Digitizing.
Cost of the service will be based on the stitch count and the number of placements.
Digitizing generally costs between $20 – $30 depending on complexity and time needed as Digitizing is done by hand. 

We accept signed and approved purchase orders from public, government institutions, and verifiable businesses. (i.e. public school districts, public universities, any city, county, state government body, or companies of more than 3 years old and of good reputation.) 

Invoices must be paid 50% down prior to production, and 50% prior to shipping.

There are more items available for customization than we could possibly offer on our website.  If you are looking for something specific that you cannot find on our site, please contact us and we will help you to source it. The more details you can provide about a product, the more likely we will be able to locate an option quickly for you.

YES, however there will be a setup fee for items not purchased from Cherie4art as well as a per item fee for run time and labor. 

The fees averages between twenty and forty dollars based on the complexity of the art piece. ($20.00) + run time and labor.

The truth is that occasionally, an embroidery machine will destroy a piece: snags happen. If that happens to a piece purchased from us, we can easily replace it. If that happens to something a customer sends to us, it cannot be replaced. In addition, not every piece of clothing is constructed and made to be embroidered. We will not be held responsible for repair or replacement of garments or articles provided by the customer, and a waiver must be signed physically or digitally to that affect by the customer.

Sure, if you need a quote for any reason, we are glad to provide one.
Our pricing model, based on complexity, eliminates the need for a quote on most orders.
Pricing of items in the online shop are designed to be up front and easy to understand, prices include the embroidery of the logo in one location, sometime two if the option is available and selected by the customer. 

After placing an order, we will send you a confirmation receipt. If it is your first time ordering a specific design, we will require your approval of a screen shot prior to production. Most items ship 3-5 days after the screen shots (art) approval. Shipping times will vary based on the destination, quantity, and even availability if its an order from outside the website such as a special request. We will keep you informed via email or text of the progress, and we plan on including status reports on the account page soon. If you do not hear from us, please check your spam folder settings.

Yes.
Once we have set up a logo and produced an order with it, we have it on file.
We never discard or delete any logo unless you request it.

Yes; we do offer embroidery machine files to be used outside of Cherie4Art.com: There will be a fee for files leaving Cherie4art’s control that will be assessed based on the complexity of the file, as the majority of  embroidery labor is in art setup.

Yes!
If the personalization is in addition to a logo or design, we will assess an additional $3.00 per item, as each name requires individual setup.  We personalize in several standard fonts at this level, as the fonts are already made and easily arranged to any name spelling. If you have a specific font you would need used, we can accommodate that, please let us know which font and we will quote it and build it based on the complexity and add to your order.

Yes:
There are more Pantone / PMS  /RGBs color numbers than there are thread colors, so exact match to every possible PMS color is not possible.  But more often than not, we can get really close. If you have your Pantone / PMS RGBs color numbers, we encourage you to share those with us; if not we base colors off the file you send us.

Really anything will work, the clearer the better. We will work with it all as our process is done by hand for the best results; we will contact you if there is any issue regardless.

Conditionally, and at an extended cost over the items represented on this site.

We do not offer to embroider large images on the backs shirts as part of the free design setup, and never of the embroidery will be too dense for the item (IE: a t-shirt cannot be full backed due to the materials nature). For most, it is not economical as the set-up alone can be costly, and the application of the embroidery can cost $25 to $100 per item based on size and complexity.  There are times we have done vest and jacket backs, especially for biker groups and benevolent associations, so it can be down, but additional fees will apply.

Absolutely: Just let us know.
We can easily change the colors of the logo based on the shirt colors in your order.  There is no charge for it.

Yes: The prices you see on the site include the embroidery in one location unless otherwise noted, such as hats front and back.

Sometimes you may want to put another logo on a shirt sleeve or maybe a Domain/URL address.
Text can be added as an additional location to nearly any item for $3.00 per item assuming the font is chosen from our ready-made font pack. Additional designs will be priced at $15.00 for art setup and $5.00 for each additional item/location.

Font packs and advanced ordering is best handled via email.

The majority of the time and labor needed to make and embroidered garment is in the art setup for embroidery: while we do not charge setup fees, it is not feasible to embroider samples for every client without a purchase commitment. The best practice would be to purchase a single item and enjoy the quality for yourself, then to make a bulk purchase. When you do decide to come back, speak with us first and we will help make the extra step and your commitment to us worth it in the form of a return customer discount dependent on volume size.

Getting blank samples, while informative, does add a significant amount of time to the process of getting your final order. If you have a tight deadline for the final order, it may not be feasible to get blank samples ahead of that final order.

We charge for blank samples up front. USPS Ground shipping of samples is free.

You can keep the samples or return them. If you wish to return the samples, we will credit you back when they are returned within a specified amount of time. That credit can be in the form of a credit card credit or a merchandise credit towards your order. Samples returned within 30 days are eligible for a full credit of the merchandise. No credit will be issued for samples received after 30 days.

If ordering online, please put BLANK SAMPLES in the comment section of the shopping cart. No Blank samples will be sold for Nike apparel, as is Nike’s trade agreement with our suppliers: all Nike merchandise must be embellished in some manner prior to delivery.

After placing an order, we will send you a confirmation receipt. If it is your first time order of a specific design, we will require your approval of a screen shot prior to production.

Is there a rush fee?

Yes, it is $50 for rush service. If you wish for the order to ship faster than Ground, there will be an added cost for that service as well.

Rush Constitutes the time for your approval of the artwork till we can get the order in the box: we are not responsible for delays due to non-response to art approval requests due to spam folder setting on your end or non response tour inquiries.

Pricing

In nearly all cases, sales tax is not required or charged for Internet sales. There may be exceptions as per PayPAL’s Policy

The only time Cherie4art will collect sales tax directly is if we are shipping or delivering items to customers in the Great State of Texas where we are grateful to operate.

The prices you see on the website include the embroidery in a single. The maximum size of the free embroidery is something the industry calls “a left chest sized image” which is usually about a 4″ circle.

Many companies put a limit on the size of the logo included in their prices. Most often it is a stitch count limit like 10,000 stitches. Anything over that amount is charged differently.
Our belief is that most people have no idea how many stitches it takes to create their logo, nor is it a good method to base a price on as far as art setup; more stitches does mean more run time, but we consider this negligible as to producing a single location piece.
