Artwork & File Setup Guide

Draft copy — Phase 2.

Follow this guide to make sure your artwork prints exactly as designed.

File requirements

  • Format: PNG with a transparent background
  • Resolution: 300 DPI at final print size
  • Colour mode: RGB (we convert to print-ready CMYK + white underbase)
  • Max file size: [NEEDS INPUT]

Design tips

  • Avoid pure black text under 6pt — fine details can lose sharpness when pressed
  • Leave at least 3–5mm of space around each design when placing multiple designs on a gang sheet
  • White ink is automatically applied as an underbase — no need to add a white layer yourself
  • Outline or embed fonts before uploading; we can't edit missing fonts

Common rejections

  • Low-resolution or pixelated files
  • Copyrighted or trademarked artwork without permission
  • Files with a visible background colour instead of transparency
