Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The areas in between this line and the safe area lines must only be used as quiet areas.
• The purple line is the bleed line. This is the perimeter of the cut graphic area, before any finishing. The area in between this line and the finished line will be used for hems or silicone edging.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the approximate perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the graphic has been finished and fitted to the frame.
• The green lines are the safe area lines. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within these areas.

Layers

Please note, these templates contain a locked layer that is set to be non-printing. Any artwork elements that are put on this layer will not be included in exported PDFs, and will not be printed. Please check your exported artwork before sending it to us.

• Guides (Non-Printing) (locked). Must not contain any of your design elements. May be deleted, if desired.

Considerations

While we make every effort to finish these graphics as accurately and consistently as possible, due to the nature of printing, cutting and finishing fabrics, some material movement and minor imperfections in alignment can be introduced and cannot always be avoided. For this reason, important content, such as logos and text, should not escape the safe areas, and we highly recommend not attempting to span continuous or detailed shapes between sides.

Our thread colours are black or white. Our sewists will choose the most appropriate colour to complement your graphic. The only visible stitching when fitted is at the top and bottom of the left and right sides.

Currently, the dye-sublimation process does not allow for the use of Pantone colours. Any Pantone colours must either be converted to (or replaced with) CMYK colours before supplying your print-ready file.
