Correct placement keeps your artwork centred, aligned and clear of seams or garment features. Standard positions include centre chest, left chest, full front, full back, sleeves, pockets, neck, side and hem placements.

Maximum print dimensions vary by garment and position. Some placements may be restricted by garment construction, fabric or artwork requirements.

To ensure the best possible print results, please follow these guidelines for print-ready artwork. 

1. Artwork Dimensions: Create your artwork at the size you want it to be printed. This helps maintain the intended quality and proportions. View our max print size and position guide here. 
2. High-Resolution Artwork: For best results, create high-resolution artwork. Although we double-check files, the best practice is to send us the correct file from the beginning to avoid delays in the pre-press process
3. Need Artwork Assistance? We're Here: If you have difficulties with your artwork, don't hesitate to reach out. We can assist you in getting your files print-ready. Depending on the complexity, this service may require an artwork fee. 
4. Fonts and Images:  All fonts must converted into outlines, and all images are embedded within the file. This ensures accurate rendering during the printing process.
5. DPI Requirement: Files should have a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch) at the actual print size. This is crucial for sharp and clear results.
6. Accepted File Formats: Save your artwork in one of the following formats: AI (Adobe Illustrator), PSD (Adobe Photoshop), Illustrator PDF, EPS, or Hi-Resolution JPEG or PNG files. These formats are most compatible with our printing processes.

The art of Colour.

If you need a specific colour for your artwork or design, please specify in your order details; we only use the Pantone Solid Coated Series for colour accuracy for our in-house ink mixing process. If a Pantone colour has not been selected for your artwork, you can pick colours from our downloadable colour guide here to match as close to the artwork as possible. Otherwise, our team will compare the colours from the computer screen and check the artwork provided as closely as possible.

It is important to note that Pantone Colours vary from monitor to monitor and from swatch book to the ink mixed. We allow a tolerance of +/- 5% variance from the swatch book to the actual print on the garment, as minor colour differences may occur during the formulation of the ink mixing process and the garment selection. 

*If you have a previously printed garment from another print shop or have an example tee and would like us to match the colour or colours, please supply this, and we will match as closely as possible. 

We exclusively use premium Madeira embroidery threads for consistent colour, clean stitching and a professional finish across merchandise, uniforms, workwear and headwear.

Choose a Madeira thread number, provide a Pantone Solid Coated reference or allow our team to select the closest suitable colour. Because embroidery threads are manufactured in fixed colours, exact Pantone matching cannot always be guaranteed.

Colours displayed online and on digital proofs are indicative only. Thread sheen, garment colour, fabric texture, lighting and screen settings can affect the final appearance. Physical thread confirmation or an embroidered sample can be arranged when colour accuracy is critical.

Your selected thread colour is confirmed during proofing and recorded for future repeat orders.
