Pattern digitising
Pattern digitising: paper patterns turned into digital files
Your paper or card patterns turned into digital files, so you can edit them, grade them, plot them or send them to any factory.
£75 up to 9 pieces, then £5 a piece
Paper patterns wear out, get lost and can only be in one place at a time. A digital copy can be sent to a factory anywhere, printed again at the same size and changed without redrawing the whole piece.
We take every piece into pattern software with its notches, grain lines and labels, then check the outlines against the paper so the file matches the pattern you trust.
The price is simple: £75 covers up to 9 pieces, and each piece after that is £5. You can work it out below.

Questions about pattern digitising
Do you send my paper pattern back?
Yes. The paper pattern goes back to you with the digital files.
Can you grade the pattern once it's digitised?
Yes. Digitising is often the first step before grading, so the two can be done together.
What if some pieces are damaged?
Tell us when you send them. We can redraw a torn edge from the matching piece, and we check it with you first.
