Vector artwork is preferred when available. For raster artwork, send the largest and highest-resolution original file rather than a screenshot or compressed copy.

Transparent backgrounds are preferred.

If the background isn't part of your design, provide artwork with a transparent background so only the intended graphic is printed onto the garment.

Absolutely! We can reproduce full-colour photographs, detailed artwork, gradients and complex designs using printing methods such as DTF (Direct-to-Film).

For the best results, we recommend providing high-resolution images or artwork. Print quality and colour accuracy may vary depending on the original image, product material.

07

Can I supply my own garments?

Yes! We may be able to customize customer-supplied garments, depending on the material, construction and compatibility with our decoration methods.

All customer-supplied items must be reviewed and approved before drop-off. Please contact us with details about your garments and the customization you'd like so we can confirm compatibility before accepting them.

While we take every precaution, customization carries certain risks, including heat damage, discoloration or other unexpected results. Customer-supplied items are decorated at the customer's risk, and we cannot guarantee results or provide replacements or reimbursement for damaged items.

08

What artwork files do you need?

We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, AI, EPS and PSD files. For the best results, we recommend high-resolution artwork (300 DPI) or vector files whenever possible.

Not sure if your file will work? Send it our way, and we'll take a look! Additional artwork preparation fees may apply if adjustments are needed.

09

How should DTF garments be washed?

Taking care of your DTF-printed apparel is easy! To keep your designs looking great and lasting as long as possible, follow these simple tips:

  • Turn garments inside out before washing.
  • Wash in cold water (30°C or lower) on a gentle cycle.
  • Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Air dry for best results, or tumble dry on low heat.
  • Avoid ironing directly over the print to prevent damage.

With a little extra care, your custom prints can stay vibrant and looking great through many washes! Always check your garment's care label, too.

NOT SURE DTF IS THE RIGHT FIT?

Tell us what you're making. We'll recommend the best way to decorate it.

DTF is incredibly versatile, but depending on your artwork, garment, quantity and the finish you want, another method may make more sense. Send us your project and we'll help choose the right production method.
