SUBLIMATION SHIRT DESIGN + PRINTING MADE EASY
What is Full-Custom Design?
Our ‘Full-Custom’ design option is what you are looking for if you want your sublimation apparel to be truly one-of-a-kind. It will take a little longer and cost a bit more than our Elements or Ready-Made designs, but it will be uniquely yours.
The infographic shows how Full-Custom design starts from scratch and becomes anything you want it to be, whether it’s based on your existing branding or a design idea – the sky is the limit!

Content Placement
A Guide to What Goes Where
Technically, there is no right or wrong way to have your Full-Custom design set up, but it is important to understand how your main logo, secondary logos, contact info, and supporting text content work together to achieve a design which is easy to read and pleasing to look at.
Please reviews these diagrams and familarize yourself with the recommended areas for content placement. These recommendations are not set in stone, but understanding them will better prepare you for the Full-Custom Design Questionnaire.
And don’t worry, you’ll be albe to refer back to these diagrams again later in the process.
-
- Short-Sleeve Front
-
- Short-Sleeve Back
-
- Long-Sleeve Front
-
- Long-Sleeve Back
Placement areas are approximate. The size/shape of your main logo and the amount of text needed will determine final content placements.
