Pricing by stitch count

Exact counts from the file

Open a customer's DST, PES, EXP or JEF file in the free viewer to see the real stitch count, colors and trims before you quote.

Artwork approvals and a customer portal

Send a quote link, let the customer approve the proof, and keep every revision on the order instead of in an email thread.

Production board and calendar

Inventory and blank ordering

Track blanks and supplies, and place SanMar orders from the order screen.

Invoices and payments

Turn an approved quote into an order and an invoice, and take payment online.

Quoting embroidery without guesswork

Embroidery price follows stitch count, and stitch count is only known once a design is digitized. PrintUnite lets you quote from an estimate while the design is being digitized, then re-price from the real count when the file comes back.

The free embroidery file viewer reads DST, PES, EXP and JEF files in the browser and shows stitch count, colors, trims and sew time, so the quote matches what the machine will actually run.

What an embroidery quote includes

  • Price per piece from your stitch-count × quantity grid.
  • A one-time digitizing fee for new designs.
  • Garment cost from the supplier catalog, with your markup.
  • Extra locations, caps and 3D puff as separate lines.
