Key takeaways
  • A spun polyester square pillow cover prints at 29.5 x 14.75 inches (8850 x 4425 px at 300 DPI) — a wrap that covers both faces. Here is how to lay art out so nothing lands on the seam.
  • The area is one wide wrap at 29.5 x 14.75 in, covering front and back. The left half becomes one face, the right half the other.
  • Centre your design in a half, not in the file. The exact middle of the file is the seam.
  • Corners round off. A square pillow's corners pull in when stuffed, so keep artwork out of roughly the outer 8% of each face.

Pillow files are the ones most often built wrong, because the print area is not the pillow. It is a single wide sheet that wraps around both faces, so a design centred in the file lands squarely on the edge seam of the finished cushion.

Placement that survives the real product

  • The area is one wide wrap at 29.5 x 14.75 in, covering front and back. The left half becomes one face, the right half the other.
  • Centre your design in a half, not in the file. The exact middle of the file is the seam.
  • Corners round off. A square pillow's corners pull in when stuffed, so keep artwork out of roughly the outer 8% of each face.

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.

Questions

Quick answers.

What size should a throw pillow design be?

29.5 x 14.75 inches at 300 DPI (8850 x 4425 px). That covers both faces in one wrap.

Why is my pillow design split down the middle?

The print area spans both sides of the cushion. The centre of the file is the seam. Place your artwork in the centre of one half instead.

Can I print a different design on each side?

Yes — build both into the single wrap file, one per half, and they will land on opposite faces.
