Design Tool Features: What You Can Create

Text Tools

What You Can Do:

• Add text anywhere – Click to place text on any print area

• Choose fonts – Select from our library of print-ready fonts

• Change colours – Pick any colour for your text

• Resize freely – Make text as large or small as needed

• Rotate text – Angle your text for creative layouts

• Edit anytime – Double-click text to change the wording

Tips for Best Results:

• Use bold, simple fonts for small text – they print more clearly

• Dark text on light shirts (or light text on dark shirts) gives best contrast

• Leave margin space around text so it doesn’t print too close to seams

• Preview your design at actual size to check text is readable

Limitations:

• Font selection is from our library (you cannot upload custom fonts)

• Very small text (under 8pt equivalent) may not print clearly

Image Upload

Supported Formats:

What You Can Do:

• Upload from device – Select files from your computer, phone, or tablet

• Drag and drop – On desktop, drag images directly onto the canvas

• Take a photo – On mobile, capture directly from your camera

• Resize images – Scale up or down to fit your design

• Rotate images – Turn images to any angle

• Position freely – Place images anywhere on the print area

Tips for Best Results:

• Upload high resolution – At least 300 DPI at the size you want to print

• Use PNG for logos – Transparent backgrounds work better on coloured shirts

• Check image rights – Only use images you own or have permission to use

• Avoid tiny images – Small images enlarged will look pixelated when printed

File Size Limit:

• Maximum 10MB per image

• Larger files may take longer to upload on slower connections

What We Don’t Support:

• PDF files (convert to PNG or JPG first)

• AI or PSD files (export as PNG from your design software)

• Animated GIFs (static image will be used)

Print Areas

Available Print Areas:

• Front – Main chest area

• Back – Full back print area

• Left Sleeve – Left arm (smaller print area)

• Right Sleeve – Right arm (smaller print area)

• Pocket – Small area where a pocket would sit

• Label/Neck – Inside neck label area

How It Works:

1. Select a print area from the view options

2. Add your design elements to that area

3. Switch to another area to add more designs

4. Each area is printed separately

Pricing:

• Each print area used adds to the total price

• Areas without designs are not charged

• Pricing is shown as you design

Tips:

• Start with the front – it’s the most visible area

• Keep sleeve designs small and simple

• Check the print boundary guides to ensure your design fits

Positioning & Sizing

What You Can Do:

• Click and drag – Move elements anywhere on the canvas

• Resize handles – Drag corners to make elements larger or smaller

• Rotate – Turn elements to any angle

• Precise placement – On desktop, use arrow keys for fine adjustments

Visual Guides:

• Print boundary – Shows the printable area (stay inside this)

• Centre guides – Help you align elements to the middle

• Product mockup – See how your design sits on the actual garment

Tips:

• Leave at least 1cm margin from the print boundary edge

• Centre important elements for a professional look

• Check all views before ordering to ensure placement is correct

Layer Management

What You Can Do:

• Bring to front – Move an element above all others

• Send to back – Move an element behind all others

• Stack order – Arrange overlapping elements

When You Need This:

• Multiple overlapping graphics

• Creating layered design effects
