    Artwork Guidelines

    Prepare your logo or design for the best final result. Good artwork helps prevent delays and production problems.

    Preferred File Formats

    Vector files are the gold standard for custom apparel. They allow us to scale your design to any size without losing quality.

    Artwork Reminder

    Every custom order includes an approval process before production. Clients are responsible for reviewing proofs, spelling, colors, sizes, garment details, and artwork placement before approval.

    Verify color accuracy
    Confirm logo placement

    What We Review

    Resolution Tips

    Ensure raster files (PNG/JPG) are at least 300 DPI at the size you want them printed.

    Color Matching

    We match thread and ink colors to your brand standards as closely as possible.

    Sponsor Logos

    When using multiple logos, ensure all meet the same quality standards for consistency.

    Artwork Cleanup

    If your file isn't quite ready, our team can often help with minor cleanups and vectorization.
