Shipping & Turnaround ➔

Artwork Requirements ➔
Print Ready Basics
Your artwork prints as submitted, including size, spelling, and layout.
- Upload the file at the exact size you want it printed.
- If resizing is needed, include the exact width and height in your order notes.
- Artwork is uploaded in the correct orientation and not mirrored.
- Backgrounds are transparent unless a background is intended to print.
Preferred File Types
Vector artwork produces the cleanest edges and most consistent results.
Preferred (Vector)
Also Accepted
For raster files, artwork is provided at 300 dpi at final print size.
Canva Users
If you design in Canva, export your file as PDF Print for best results.
Color Setup
General Purpose transfers are produced using spot colors.
- Use solid colors when possible.
- Only include white when white ink is intended to print.
- If your file colors do not match what you want printed, list the intended colors in the order notes.
Minimum Detail Requirements
To prevent small details from filling in or breaking, artwork meets these minimum tolerances.
- Minimum printed line thickness: 1 pt or 0.014 in
- Minimum negative space: 2 pt or 0.028 in
Artwork below these tolerances may print heavier, fill in, or lose detail.
Text Requirements
All text is converted before submission to prevent font issues.
- Illustrator: convert text to outlines
- Photoshop: convert text to shapes
Converted text is no longer editable as live text.
Effects and Fine Detail Notes
Screen printed transfers are best for clean, solid artwork.
- Gradients, fades, shadows, and transparency effects may not reproduce as intended.
- Thin strokes and tiny “holes” inside letters can close up if they fall under minimum tolerances.
Files Not Accepted
Files from Cricut design tools, Windows Paint, Apple Paintbrush, and similar generic programs often do not separate cleanly for screen printing and may not be usable as submitted.
If anything is questionable, the fastest path is sending the best file available and including the intended print size.
