VECTOR ARTWORK – Crisp, Clean & Scalable

For the sharpest lines and highest-quality prints, we recommend vector artwork.

Accepted Vector Formats: Illustrator (.AI, .PDF, .EPS, .SVG)

Vector graphics are created using points, lines, and curves instead of pixels, meaning they can be scaled infinitely without losing clarity. No matter how large or small you make the design, it stays smooth and precise.

RASTER ARTWORK – Resolution Matters

Raster images are made up of tiny pixels, so when enlarged, they can lose quality.

Accepted Raster Formats: Photoshop (.PSD, .PDF), High-Resolution (.TIF, .JPG, .GIF, .BMP)

To ensure a quality print, raster files must be at least 300 DPI at the final print size.

🚫 Low-resolution raster files will NOT be accepted. Our goal is to deliver the best print possible, and pixelated or blurry images just don’t cut it.

HAND-DRAWN ARTWORK

If you’re submitting hand-drawn or scanned artwork, it must be high-resolution (300 DPI or higher) and sized to the exact print dimensions.

🛠 Cleaning Up Artwork:

Simple touch-ups? We’ll refine your image at no extra cost.

Extensive edits? A design fee may apply if your artwork needs major adjustments to be print-ready.

PREPARING YOUR ARTWORK FOR SCREEN PRINTING

To ensure a seamless print process, your artwork should be:

✅ Created as a high-resolution vector file (preferred)

✅ In the correct color mode (Pantone spot colors recommended for accuracy)

✅ On a transparent background

✅ Saved in .AI, .PDF, or .PNG format at 300 DPI

💡 Pro Tip: If your design includes text, make sure all fonts are outlined or vectorized to prevent font issues during printing.

PROCREATE ARTWORK

Using Procreate on an iPad? Follow these steps to prepare your file for Illustrator editing:

Open your artwork in Procreate and tap Share.

Select Export and choose SVG as the file format.

Name your file clearly (e.g., your design name).

Save and transfer the file to your computer.

Open the SVG file in Illustrator for any final adjustments.

TIPS FOR A QUICK TURNAROUND

✔ Submit your design in the correct file format.

✔ Ensure the resolution is at least 300 DPI.

✔ Outline or vectorize any fonts.

✔ Provide a mockup of your design on the chosen garment color.

✔ If inverting colors, have your designer add a stroke rather than just inverting the image.

DESIGN FEES

If your file isn’t print-ready, additional design work may be required:

💰 Graphic preparation: $65 per hour

💰 Revising past designs (color separations, minor updates): $80 per design

By following these guidelines, we can ensure a smooth process and the highest quality prints!
