It may be exciting to start creating your brand Apparel. However, there are many questions that you can ask. We have collected the most frequently asked questions to help you find your needed answers.
What Artwork is Acceptable?
Many formats can be used depending on the size of the design, but a PDF is the most common. To avoid blurry printing or distortions, ensure your designs are of the highest quality (at least 300 DPI).
Deciding whether you want your file saved in CMYK or RGB is also essential. CMYK is the preferred format for printing T-Shirts. It is easy to modify your design in Photoshop if it is not saved in CMYK. Photoshop effects may be compatible with T-shirt printing. Drop shadows, faded edges, and glow effects are all examples.
How do I Know the Best Size And Placement for My Art?
It all comes down to personal preference. However, there are some guidelines you should keep in mind depending on where you want to place your design. The best places for large images are on the front (oversized placement) or the back (fullback). These sizes are generally 30x35 cm but can sometimes be as large as 40cm.
You can place it on the left chest (7-10 cm), the upper back (5-10 cm) or the sleeves (2-10cm). For medium designs, the best places are on the upper back and centre chest. Ask your printer for advice if you still need help figuring it out.
Can I Mix The Shirt Sizes in My Order?
T-shirt printers generally allow you to Print the same design in different sizes. You can also choose how many you need. If don't know what the exact sizes of your recipients are, this is a good guideline for how many you should order:
- XS: 1 %
- S: 7 %
- M: 28 %
- L: 30 %
- XL: 20 %
- 2XL: 12 %
- 3XL: 2 %
How Can I make my print last longer?
Unsurprisingly, we want our branded T-shirts to last as long as possible when ordering them. These are the top tips to prolong the life of your favourite t-shirt:
- Use cold water when washing them.
- Avoid using bleach or other heavy detergents.
- Your dryer should be set at a moderate temperature.
- Turn your shirt inside out when washing.
- Wash with other similar items.
