- A heavy blend hoodie prints 12 x 7.99 inches on the front (3600 x 2398 px at 300 DPI), plus back, sleeves and chest positions. Here is the full set.
- The hoodie front is landscape at 12 x 7.99 in — wider than tall, unlike a tee.
- The pocket sets the lower limit. Artwork must finish above it, which is why the usable area is short.
- Centre chest and left chest are separate, smaller positions — better suited to logos than to the full front.
Hoodies are not tees with a hood. The front print area is much shorter, because the pouch pocket and the drawstrings eat the space a shirt design would occupy. Scaling a t-shirt file across usually puts artwork straight onto the pocket seam.

Placement that survives the real product
- The hoodie front is landscape at 12 x 7.99 in — wider than tall, unlike a tee.
- The pocket sets the lower limit. Artwork must finish above it, which is why the usable area is short.
- Centre chest and left chest are separate, smaller positions — better suited to logos than to the full front.
The rule that overrides every chart: print areas are the maximum, not the target. Filling the entire area is almost never the best-looking choice — most strong designs use 70–85% of the available width and sit slightly above the geometric centre, because that is where the eye expects them on a worn or photographed product.

Quick answers.
What size should a hoodie design be?
12 x 7.99 inches at 300 DPI (3600 x 2398 px) for the main front area.
Why is the hoodie print area smaller than a t-shirt?
The kangaroo pocket and drawstrings occupy the lower chest. The printable area has to stop above the pocket.
Can I print on hoodie sleeves?
Yes — left and right sleeves are separate print areas, each priced separately.
