Artwork Specifications

To make sure your transfers print perfectly every time, please follow the guidelines below when preparing your artwork. This helps us deliver vibrant, durable results without delays or extra adjustments.

File Requirements

Accepted formats: PNG or PDF only

Background: Transparent background required

Resolution: Minimum 150 DPI (higher is always better)

Colour mode: CMYK preferred for best colour accuracy


Design Guidelines

Print size: Supply your artwork at the exact size you want it printed

Border: Please leave at least 3mm of empty space between your artwork and the edge of the sheet

No bleed required: We print to the full sheet size, so no bleed is necessary

Text: Convert fonts to outlines (or flatten in your file) to avoid font issues

Quality: Avoid screenshots or low-resolution images, as these will appear blurry when printed
