Size With Confidence
These quick rules help prevent the most common ordering and sizing mistakes.
Use this guide as a starting point, not a strict rule for every shirt style.
Streetwear and fashion fits may require larger print dimensions.
Most left chest logos are usually sized around 3"-4" wide.
Always size artwork using the final print width and height you want.
A slightly larger print often looks better than one that feels too small.
Before You Upload
Clean artwork makes better transfers. Follow these simple file tips before building a gang sheet or uploading your own sheet.
Transparent backgrounds help your design print cleanly without unwanted boxes.
High-resolution files produce sharper details, smoother edges, and better results.
Upload artwork at the width and height you want it printed.
Resizing tiny artwork can cause blurry, pixelated, or rough-looking transfers.
