Create Your Own T-Shirts

We take pride in producing the highest quality clothing for our customers. With this in mind, we have some guidelines to consider when sending in your artwork:

• File format of either transparent PDF, PNG or PSD

• Minimum 300DPI resolution

• Document width of at least 30cm

(All designs should also be vectored where possible to enlarge the image, sharpen the elements and greatly reduce any pixelation)

JPG files are usually of a sub-standard quality and images that are received at 72DPI visually show the poor resolution in the print. If you only have a JPG file for your image (for example a photo) please contact us to discuss before placing your order.

Customers are still able to proceed with their order using a low resolution or small scale image, however if you choose to proceed then you will be accepting that the results could potentially be of a lesser quality than desired. Stretching an image to cover the face of a garment causes distortion in the pixels and will directly affect the printed result. Low resolution may also cause blurred edges and visible white hairlines around the edges. Upon placing an order with a low quality artwork file, ShirtLocker holds no responsibility on the outcome of your garments and we will print as instructed.

Colours may appear slightly different on your finished product compared to your digital design. This could be because when designing an image most screens have a slightly different colour output, or because certain file formats can only be saved in RGB colour format and the printers are CMYK. We will do our best to maintain the colour however this cannot always be guaranteed.

Simple vectoring of single colour designs can be provided free of charge, however for more complex designs or images with backgrounds/low resolution it is highly recommended to contact an experienced graphic designer. If you are unsure if your design is ready for printing, please contact our team who would be happy to advise before placing your order.
