You can pick one of our designs created by our team of designers, or you can upload your own.<\/p><h2>How to upload your own design<\/h2><p>Follow these steps to prepare you artwork for your custom hoodie:<\/p><h3>Resolution<\/h3><ul><li><p>Save your artwork in PNG file format, with a 200 dpi setting. DPI stands for dots per inch and what we need to remember is that a t-shirt is made of threads. We have measured that there are about 100 threads per inch, so we only need to use 200dpi, which is still very precise for a design printed on a product. If your designs are blurry, it is most likely because your resolution is too low. If you do not fix this then the prints received will reflect the blurriness of your artwork. <em>Please note, artwork will appear more pixelated in general when printed onto garments than they will on paper or screen because the ink disperses further.<\/em><\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><h3>Get accurate colours<\/h3><ul><li><p>We convert your artwork into a print file when we process it. A lot of converting and processing goes on, which we won't detail as it's super complicated. It allows us to take any image and make it printable, but also is one of the reasons - as well as one of the facts of life in digital product printing - that we can't 100% match pantone colours. If colour matching matters to you, RGB PNG files are what we use in house to upload, so we recommend saving in RGB.<\/p><\/li><li><p>DTG Printers cannot print opacities or transparencies so it is important to ensure the opacity of your graphic is at 100%. Fades and glows can be problematic in DTG printing, as well as neon and metallic colours. Our printing tech will match them to the closest normal colour. On the screen, colours often appear brighter than on the printed products. We recommend you increase the contrast and saturation levels of your artwork to a very high degree. What may look a bit \u201dtoo much\u201d on the screen will look just right in print.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><h3>Backgrounds<\/h3><ul><li><p>Save your artwork onto a transparent background so your design blends seamlessly with the product.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><h3><strong>Detail and scale<\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><p>If your design has fine detail, you need to make sure all line-work or text is wider than 2mm. If it is less than 2mm, our printing tech will struggle to pick up the detail and you could be left with bits of your design missing or blurred.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><h3>Copyright<\/h3><ul><li><p>Lastly and very importantly, if you are uploading a design you must make sure you\u2019ve obtained all the relevant rights and permissions, as per the Terms and Conditions. We retain the right to deny any content which infringes our copyright policies.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rapanuiclothing.com\/design-your-own-t-shirt\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><u>Try designing your own custom hoodie<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>","urlTitle":"design-your-own-hoodie","url":"\/blog\/design-your-own-hoodie\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/design-your-own-hoodie\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/rapanuiclothing.com\/blog\/design-your-own-hoodie\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1648466031,"updatedAt":1760705462,"publishedAt":1760705461,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":14,"name":"Rapanui"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pjofj1obapmjoox7f8blia0peb3ozb9qaonnvhbnxurvrimd.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pjofj1obapmjoox7f8blia0peb3ozb9qaonnvhbnxurvrimd.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/pjofj1obapmjoox7f8blia0peb3ozb9qaonnvhbnxurvrimd.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"How To Design Your Own Custom Hoodie In Seconds","metaDescription":"Create, customise and order printed hoodies online, one or many.
