File size and format

- For t-shirts or smaller, prepare your art to export between 3500 and 4500 pixels
- Format the file as uncompressed, transparent PNG
Naming your artwork files
This step looks complex, but it's very simple, and you'll thank us later. It's kind of like a SKU (a stock-keeping-unit) that helps retailers keep track of unique items from the brands they carry.
Your file name should be ALL CAPS, and use underscores (_) to separate the info. Your file name has these ingredients:
- Your abbreviated seller name
- Your design name — whatever nickname you give it
- Color it's to be printed on, in a 3 letter abbreviation
For example, if your Seller name is Counter Pop and your design is a ninja to be printed on a black (or a dark color) your file name would be something like: CNTRPP_NINJA_BLK.png
Later, if you're using the same ninja design, but you want to add Spanish text, and it's designed to go on a yellow shirt, you would name the file: CNTRPP_NINJA_SPA_YEL.png
So, once you have a folder with your ninja design for Spanish and English, for a black shirt and a yellow shirt your files would look like this. and your piñata designs for black, yellow, and red shirts, your files would look like this:
CNTRPP_NINJA_BLK.png – Black t-shirt with ninja design
CNTRPP_NINJA_SPANISH_BLK.png – Black t-shirt with ninja design in Spanish
CNTRPP_NINJA_YEL.png – Yellow t-shirt with ninja design
CNTRPP_NINJA_YEL_SPA.png – Yellow t-shirt with ninja design in Spanish
Isn't that great? Then when you do a new design on a new color, it would look like this:
CNTRPP_PINATA_RED.png – Red t-shirt with pinata design
CNTRPP_PINATA_RED-SPA.png - Red t-shirt with pinata design
