Additional guidelines for screen printing 

For each project, we recommend providing a printout reflecting the colors of the graphics. For patterns containing raster graphics, it is helpful if you send us a digital proof. If your pattern has spot colors, please save them in the Pantone color system (PMS - Pantone Matching System). This will allow you to obtain the desired color. 

Pattern dimensions 

Please prepare designs in a 1:1 scale, i.e. in the size in which you want to print your design. If you are not sure which dimensions will be best or possible, our Customer Service Department will be happy to help you make a decision. 

Generally, designs placed centrally on the front or back of the T-shirt range from a maximum width of 25 to 35 cm and a height of up to 50 cm. The prints on the left or right side of the chest should be in the range of 6-12 cm, the prints on the sleeve in the range of 5-10 cm. The selection of sizes is often a matter of taste and the properties of a specific product, so please do not take these suggestions as strict guidelines.
