Shirt Guidelines and Recommendations
-
Pocket Sized Prints are located above where a
pocket would go on a shirt. These are best done between
2.5" wide and 3.5" wide and not higher then 4.5". These
are best done in a single color or two color. On T-shirts
we can take these to 4 color. On Sport Shirts we strongly
encourage single color work in this location. We can print
on the pocket (3" square max), in the pocket area (3.5" largest
side), or above the pocket on a shirt (3.5" largest side,
1/2" to 3/4" from pocket).
-
Sleeve Prints are located on either the left
or right sleeve. These should be 2.5" to 4" wide
and proportionally high. Height should not be greater
then 2.5" This area is ideal for slogans, websites,
and simple messages or graphics.
-
Front Print: This is a traditional printing area. Depending
on the graphic a number of options may be appropriate. Designs
should be kept to the top of the shirt to accommodate all body
styles. (Nobody likes your logo on their belly :) ) We
find a 10" wide by 8.5" tall design to be Ideal for
this area. However, a print size of up to 16" Wide
by 21" tall may be used.
-
Back Print: This is also a traditional
printing area. We recommend a design area of 10" Wide
by 14" tall. It is not necessary to fill up the
whole area to get your message across. Simple, bold graphics
work best. Think of this area as a small billboard. It
can very successfully get your product or message noticed.
You can use a maximum of 16x21 and we think a 11.5"x16" area
is a good "large" print for most shirts.
Design Tips for Graphic Design
-
Bold and Simple: Keep your design free
of clutter and use only the graphics and words necessary to
communicate your message or theme. It will increase the
appeal and give it a timeless classic feeling.
-
Avoid Tight registration and colors that touch. These
are the hardest things to print and we recommend avoiding them
when possible. An excellent separation distance is 1/8" of
an inch. We also realize that some designs require this
and we are more then happy to print them.
-
Properly prepare photos: Photographs must
have high contrast to print properly on a t-shirt. Ensure
that any photos you want printed are not washed out or faded. A
bad photo will almost certainly make a bad t-shirt.
