Tips for sending your own design

Getting your file ready

A transparent PNG prints best, about 300 pixels per inch of print. A 10" design should be about 3000 pixels wide.

What does that mean?
  • Transparent: no background box. If you see a white or coloured square around it, that prints too.
  • High resolution: big and sharp enough for your size. Screenshots and social media images usually print blurry.
  • PNG: the file type that keeps a transparent background.

Only have a JPG or a photo?

No problem. We'll sharpen it, remove the background and make sure it prints its best.

Cleanup starts at $5 per design, added to your invoice.

Not sure your file will work? Send it anyway and we'll let you know.

Pressing your transfer

Press it at home

285°F for 16 seconds. Let it cool, then peel. Press again for 5 seconds with a Teflon sheet on top.

Use a heat press only. An iron or EasyPress won't apply it properly.

Press it in store

Buy your garment from us and use our heat press for free during store hours. We'll help if it's your first time.
