The available formats, displayed based on the selected item, are the following:
- custom format

Let's now analyze the various formats available.
Custom format
This option will be displayed for all products where the print format is not well defined, and, in these cases, you can choose the size together with the graphic designer based on the item chosen.
A classic example is printing on trousers, shorts or bandanas.
On these items, in fact, the printing areas and positions can be different and change from one brand to another depending on the manufacture (pockets, seams, folds, pattern cut, etc.).
When the custom print format is selected, you can print in the maximum format allowed by the object without an extra charge.
Example:
You can print on a trouser your logo/design/graphics in the format 2 x 2 cm or 20 x 50 cm without difference in costs.
This rule applies only to screen printing, flex from 1 to 2 colors, flock from 1 to 2 colors and digital printing.
For embroidery, the maximum default size of the "custom format" is up to the format 12 x 12 cm.
If you want a larger embroidery you should contact our sales department for a custom quote according to the item, the file and the quantity of goods you want to produce.
Up to 12 x 12 cm format
This option is generally available in custom clothing and specifically in short-sleeved items (e.g. T-shirts, Polo shirts, shirts, etc.) and refers to the maximum customization size of the sleeve.
The print of your logo can be reproduced within this format.
You can then print your logo/design/graphics in different format (e.g. 5 x 4 cm or 10 x 7 cm) without an extra charge.
Your graphics cannot exceed the format 12 x 12 cm.
Please note that, depending on the chosen item, the size 12 x 12 cm may be larger than the actual size of the product (for example, the sleeve of a T-shirt for a shaped woman).
In these cases, the print format will be optimized according to the product.
After the order is placed, the graphic designer who will create the graphic draft will send you the positioning considering the size you have indicated.
If you do not have any preferences on the size or positioning of the graphic, it will be the responsibility of the graphic designer to propose the most suitable solution.
Up to 7 x 35 cm format
This option is available in custom clothing and specifically in long-sleeved items (e.g. long-sleeved T-shirts, long-sleeved polo shirts, long-sleeved shirts, etc.) and refers to the maximum customization size that can be reproduced on the sleeve of the item of your choice.
The print of your logo can be reproduced within this format.
Based on the article chosen this size may vary or not really be printable because there are pockets, folds, seams or simply if the size of the article is smaller.
An example could be the long-sleeved T-shirt for women, which in some articles has a smaller printing area.
In this case, the graphics to be printed will be optimized considering the maximum print size achievable on the chosen item.
After Order Confirmation, the graphic designer assigned to you will create a free graphic draft that will be sent to you by e-mail, clearly indicating the position and size of the print according to your indications and in relation to the chosen product.
If you do not have any preferences on the size or positioning of the graphics, it will be the responsibility of the graphic designer to propose the most suitable solution.
