Accepted File Types:
We accept the following file formats for printing:

Print Size:
Please adjust your design to the correct print size required. For example, if you want to print a design with dimensions of 40 by 40 cm, make sure to adjust the size in the file to exactly 40 by 40 cm. It’s important to specify your required print size when submitting your design.

Please send your file in either CMYK or RGB color format, depending on your requirements.
Color Matching:
While we make every effort to match the Pantone color of your design to the ink used for printing on the fabric, it’s important to note that exact color matching cannot be guaranteed. Colors may appear differently on computer screens or printed paper compared to the final printed fabric due to variations in color calibration across different devices. If you have specific Pantone colors for your design, please provide the corresponding Pantone codes to assist us in color matching.
Print Description:
If you have specific requirements for placement, scale/size, repeat pattern, full print, or orientation of the printed artwork, please confirm these details before the proofing stage. This allows us to produce actual sample instructions based on your requirements.
Repeat/Seamless Mode:
If you have specific instructions on how to place, scale/size, repeat pattern, or achieve a full print and desired direction for your artwork, please communicate these details before the sampling process. This will enable us to create actual sample instructions that align with your preferences.
Following these specific requirements for printing helps us ensure the best possible outcome for your customized designs.
