Design Tips to Make Your Transfer Pop

Want pro-level results? These quick design tips help ensure your shirt prints look sharp, vibrant, and ready to impress:

Start with the Right File
Use high-resolution (300 DPI) artwork in PNG, PDF, or SVG format.
Always remove backgrounds unless you want them printed.
Design for the Shirt, Not the Screen
Use bold colors and clean contrast—faint lines and pastels often get lost.
Check visibility on both light and dark fabrics before submitting.
Make the Most of Your Gang Sheet
Group similar sizes together and leave space between designs.
