Why It Pays to Get This Right
A clean file means your sample is right the first time…
How to Size & Place
- State the decoration size in cm — e.g. 'logo 8 cm wide, 10 cm from left shoulder seam.'
- For all-over or back prints, give a placement sketch or mark it on a flat product photo.
- Keep critical elements inside the safe zone — at least 2 cm from neck, hem and seams.
- If unsure, ask for our placement template before art finalising.

FAQ
Can you fix my file for me?
Often yes. Simple clean-ups (upscaling vector, fixing bleed, converting colour) are part of our review. Heavy redraws we quote first.
What if I only have a JPG logo?
For print it may pass at small size if high-res; for embroidery we will re-draw it as vector, which we quote as a small artwork fee or fold into sampling.
Do you keep my files on file for reorders?
Yes — approved artwork is saved against your tech pack, so reorders pull the same file with no re-submission.
