Artwork that prints beautifully

Great results start with a clear design. You don’t need to be a designer to enquire—send what you have and we’ll let you know if we need anything else before quoting or printing.

Send the clearest version you have

For your first enquiry, upload a PNG, JPG, JPEG, SVG or GIF up to 16 MB. A clear, original file is much more useful than a screenshot of a small logo. If you have a different format, mention it in your enquiry and we can advise how best to send it.

No file yet? Select “I’ll send my artwork later” on the quote form and describe what you have in mind.

Illustrative comparison only; we review every design individually.

Artwork checklist

Four things to check before you send

These simple checks help us understand your intended finish and avoid delays when we prepare your quote.

Think about final size

Tell us roughly how wide and tall the design should be on the garment. For photos or raster artwork, aim for a high-resolution original—around 300 dpi at the intended print size is a useful target.

Check the background

If you want only the design to appear, use a transparent background where possible, such as a transparent PNG or suitable SVG. A white box in a file may print as part of the design.

Tell us your colours

Let us know the colour of the garment and any important design colours. Screens and fabrics can show colour differently, so we’ll review any colour-critical requirements with you.

Keep details legible

Very thin lines and tiny lettering can be difficult to reproduce. If you have a vector file, include the complete artwork and convert fonts to outlines where possible.

Your artwork doesn’t have to be perfect to enquire. Send what you have, or describe your idea.
