Artwork Guidelines

Guidelines for Smooth Order Processing

To ensure your order is processed efficiently, please review these key elements before confirming your proof.

1. Size – Print/Embroidery Dimensions

We will size your print or embroidery appropriately unless you specify exact dimensions. All branding will be consistent across garments unless you request adjustments for specific sizes or provide corporate guidelines. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for your order.

2. Colours

If you’ve provided a Pantone colour reference, we will match it as closely as possible. If no reference is supplied, we’ll select a suitable match.

3. Visuals

The visual proof you receive will be a representation of your logo placed on a generic garment. Please note, this is a guide and not to scale. Placement may vary due to seams, zippers, or other branding elements. Be sure to double-check colours, size, spelling, and fonts before confirming your order.
