Accepted files
- PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF — up to 10 MB per file. Where the 5-file limit applies: in your artwork portal, the private link you get after checking out, you can send up to 5 files per print location. The optional attachment on the cart, before you pay, takes one file per placement — send the rest through the portal.
- Export SVG, AI, EPS, PSD or Canva designs to PDF (vector, fonts outlined) or a PNG at the sizes below.
- We check every file’s real type, not just its name; a renamed file is rejected at upload.
Resolution
300 DPI at the printed size. A 4 × 4 in front logo needs at least 1200 × 1200 pixels; an 11 × 11 in back print needs 3300 × 3300 pixels; a 6 × 6 in sleeve print needs 1800 × 1800 pixels. Screenshots, web logos and social-media downloads are usually 72 DPI and print blurry; ask your designer for the original file.
Transparent PNG for transfers
Our prints are full-color transfers (DTF) heat-pressed onto the shirt: whatever is in your file prints, including a white or colored background box. Save a PNG with a transparent background so only the artwork is transferred. If your logo has a white element on a dark shirt, keep that white in the file; white prints.
Maximum print areas
| Location | Maximum size | Minimum pixels at 300 DPI | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front logo | 4 × 4 in | 1200 × 1200 | Included in every T-shirt package |
| Back | 11 × 11 in | 3300 × 3300 | +$2.50 per shirt |
| One sleeve (left or right) | 6 × 6 in | 1800 × 1800 | +$2.50 per shirt |
Artwork is scaled to fit inside the area while keeping its proportions. Larger prints, a second sleeve, or other locations are quoted individually. The prices above are for our adult T-shirt packages; polos, hoodies, youth tees, aprons and other items are priced in their quote, prints included.
Colors and details
- Design in RGB; we handle the conversion. Screen and print never match exactly, and the proof shows the closest result we can produce.
- Keep lines at least 1 pt (about 0.014 in) and text at least 6 pt for legibility after pressing.
- Avoid very large solid areas of a single dark color on light shirts if breathability matters; transfers are slightly heavier than the fabric.
- Fine halftones and drop shadows print, but tiny isolated dots under 0.5 mm may not transfer.
Naming and notes
Name files by location (front-logo.png, back-event.pdf, sleeve-flag.png) and use the instructions box on your artwork page to say which file goes where and any color or placement preferences. We confirm everything on the proof before printing.
