Every print-on-demand product has a fixed printable area, and almost every guide online repeats the same approximate numbers. These are measured: read directly from the manufacturer's blueprint data for the exact product and print provider named, then converted to inches and centimetres. Pixel values are at 300 DPI, which is what print files should be supplied at.

How to read this table

  • The area is a ceiling, not a target. Filling it edge to edge is almost never the best-looking choice — most strong designs use 70–85% of the width.
  • Positions are priced separately. A back print or a sleeve print is an additional charge on most providers, so a four-position design costs considerably more to produce.
  • These are specific blueprints. Other providers and other blueprints for the same garment differ, sometimes by inches. Always confirm against the exact product you publish.
  • 300 DPI is the standard. A file supplied at 150 DPI will print at half the intended size or be upscaled by the manufacturer, and it will show.

Questions

Quick answers.

How big is a t-shirt print area?

A unisex jersey tee's front print area is 15.35 x 19.29 inches, which is 4606 x 5787 pixels at 300 DPI. That is the maximum; most designs look best at 10 to 12 inches wide.

What resolution should print-on-demand files be?

300 DPI. Every dimension in this table is given in pixels at 300 DPI, which is what print-on-demand manufacturers expect.

Are these print areas the same for every provider?

No. These figures come from specific Printify blueprints and their print providers. Other providers and blueprints differ, sometimes considerably, so always confirm against the exact product you are publishing.

Should I fill the whole print area?

Almost never. The print area is the maximum the machine can reach, not a design recommendation. Most strong designs use 70 to 85 percent of the available width.
