Artwork made for print
We draw graphics for clothing and merchandise, from a single slogan shirt to a full event range, and prepare each one for the way it will be printed: screen print, embroidery or digital print. Printing runs through Print & Merchandise.
Designed to be worn again
Merch artwork works when people keep wearing it after the event. So t-shirt design starts with the wearer: a graphic or slogan worth showing off on the front, a small mark on the chest or sleeve, and a back print where the message can be bigger.
Artwork prepared for the print method
| Method | Best for | How the artwork is prepared |
|---|---|---|
| Screen print | Bold graphics in a few colours, larger runs | Each colour separated onto its own layer, one screen per colour |
| Embroidery | Logos on caps, polos and jackets | Embroidery artwork simplified and lettering thickened, then digitised into a stitch file |
| Digital print and DTF | Photos, gradients and full colour, small runs | A full-colour file at print size, 300 ppi, on a transparent background |
Apparel graphics for dark fabrics get their own version, with a white base layer or adjusted colours so the graphic stays bright on black. Shirts, caps, bags and stickers each have a printable area, and the artwork is sized to it, from a small chest logo to a full back print.
Team kits, names and numbers
Kits are designed as a set: home and away colours, the crest, sponsor logos, and each player’s name and number laid out from the squad list, so every shirt reaches the printer ready to run.
