Template User Guide

Design Apps

  • Use industry-standard graphic design applications for best compatibility.
  • Recommended applications:
    • Adobe Illustrator (for PDF templates)
    • Adobe Photoshop (for PSD templates)
    • Corel Draw (for CDR templates)
  • Designs from other applications should be submitted in JPEG format to ensure consistency.

Design Checklist:

  • Design on the “Artwork” layer or create a new layer above the template.
  • Once you’ve finalized the design, remove all template layers, leaving only your artwork.
  • Flatten all gradients and transparencies and outline all text.
  • Ensure that all template layers are deleted.
  • Upload file is a single page PDF or JPG file @ 150dpi.
  • If printing DTF, upload a PNG file.

Print-ready Checklist:

  • PDF Files: Must be flattened and all text outlined.
  • Submit files as a Flattened PDF (Single Page) or JPEG only, without crop marks or bleed.
  • For custom-sized products, ensure your graphic matches the product dimensions exactly.
  • For template-based products, the dimensions must match the provided template exactly, not just the graphic area.
  • Use CMYK color mode; Pantone or RGB colors may lead to inaccuracies.
  • Submit files at 150 DPI, with a maximum file size of 300 MB. Graphics over 200″ can be scaled accordingly.
