Find the real center.
Lay the shirt flat and smooth. Use the neckline and body seams to find the center; a sewn-in tag isnโt always perfectly aligned.

Suggested artwork widths for standard crewneck tees. โBelow collarโ means the bottom of the collar seam to the top of the artwork, unless noted.
| Placement | Adult width | Youth width | Where it starts |
|---|
Youth ranges vary widely by age and garment size. Start smaller for youth XS/S; check the actual printable area. Oversized prints and toddler sizes need a custom layout.
BEFORE IT GOES TO PRINT
Measure twice. Wear it everywhere.
Size the visible artwork.
Measure the art itself, not the empty space around the file. Keep its proportions locked so circles stay round and logos stay recognizable.
Check it on a person.
A paper cutout at the planned size helps you see how the design sits when worn. Review the smallest shirt in your order, too.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Letโs clear
things up.
Does every shirt size get the same print size?
Often, a shared print size works across a group of adult sizes. Youth, fitted cuts and very large size ranges may need separate artwork sizes. Weโll review the smallest garment and the overall look before confirming.
Is a 3.5-inch logo always 3.5 inches tall?
No. Width and height are different measurements. A wide logo might be 3.5 inches wide and only 1.5 inches tall. The height should follow the original artworkโs aspect ratio.
What changes for hoodies and polos?
Hoods can cover upper-back artwork; pockets and zippers can limit front placement. Polos need alignment around the placket. The tee measurements here are starting points, not specifications for every garment.
Can I use this for embroidery or sublimation?
The visual locations are useful, but decoration methods have different limits. Small embroidery details may need simplification. All-over sublimation requires a garment-panel template rather than a standard transfer box.
What artwork should I send?
Original vector artwork such as SVG, AI or PDF is ideal when available. A transparent PNG can also work; aim for 300 pixels per inch at the final print size. A 10-inch print at 300 PPI needs 3,000 pixels of artwork width. Enlarging a small screenshot wonโt restore missing detail.
