How should I choose a print size?

Standard Center Front and Full Front refer to the same standard front area here: up to 10 × 12 inches. For a larger design, choose Oversized (12 × 14) or Jumbo (16 × 18). Standard Full Back uses 10 × 12, with the same larger options. Choose one dominant area per side; a dominant front print cannot be combined with a left- or right-chest area.

Small garments, pockets, seams and hoodie pouches may reduce usable space. Check each ordered garment size. A configured maximum is not a guarantee of printable space on every item.

Chest and back-yoke artwork starts at the Studio’s configured default size within the approved maximum shown above. Keep your artwork's proportions when resizing.
