How to prepare artwork before placing a custom apparel order

Start every order with a production-ready file. Use transparent PNG, SVG, PDF, or high-resolution artwork whenever possible so the design team can inspect edges, color, and placement without rebuilding the artwork.

Keep the design centered inside the intended print area and avoid placing important details too close to seams, collars, pockets, or sleeve edges. If the artwork includes small text, make sure it stays readable at the final print size.

Before checkout, review each print side and leave short notes for placement, due date, and special handling. Clear notes reduce revisions and help proofs move through approval faster.
