Resolution & Size
- Your design should be at least 300 DPI to ensure crisp and clear printing. Low-resolution files may appear pixelated or blurry.
- If you upload a raster image, make sure you adjust the size prior to submitting. Raster images can be resized smaller, however they cannot be increased in size without degrading image quality.
- IF submitting a raster file, please send at the desired print size.
Text & Fonts
Convert all text to outlines or curves for all vector files before submitting.
Spelling
Please double check all spellings in your design/artwork. While we try our best to make sure that there are no misspellings, we are human and mistakes do happen from time to time. Once a design has been approved by the customer, we are not responsible for any misspellings in the design.
Placement & Design Size
Due to the nature of the artwork proofing process – it is difficult to replicate the exact scale of the design on the shirt. The design will be printed using the dimensions found on the artwork proof and not necessarily the scale shown.
We do our best to achieve consistency with every product we produce. There however design placement can be off from shirt to shirt. We allow up to a one inch variance in placement. If you have received a product that falls outside these guidelines, please contact us at support@peculiarpeopledesigns.com.
Copyright & Licensing
Only upload artwork you own or have rights from the creator to use. We cannot print any copyrighted images, logos, or trademarked material without written permission. No exceptions.
Final Approval:
Before you approve your artwork, PLEASE double check the following:
- ALL spelling and text (names, locations, personalizations, etc.)
- Imprint location (i.e. front, back, front chest, etc.)
- Imprint size
- Ink colors
By approving the proof and invoice, you acknowledge that the design may have had to be redrawn by our art team. Please ensure that no changes to your design were made during this redraw process. Once a proof has been approved, then our team will print the design as show on the proof.
We will not be held responsible for any errors or changes after this proof is submitted.
