Design Submission Format(for Adobe Illustrator)
-
-
If you are comfortable using Adobe Illustrator, you can submit your artwork using our Design Submission Format template (.ai).
Using this template lets you position your design exactly where you want it on the garment, and in many cases you can skip the usual design confirmation step.
*We may still contact you if anything needs to be clarified.*Please read the important notes below carefully before using this template.
*The template is not available for some products.
*The template can only be used on desktop devices.

Important notes: Submitting the Design Submission Format
- We will customise your products exactly according to the data you submit.
- Supported version: CC
- All text must be outlined.
- Stroke weight must be 2 pt or more. (Thinner strokes may not print clearly.)
- For shipments from Japan: please submit your design in CMYK colour mode only.

- Depending on the product size, your design may be resized automatically to fit appropriately. If you require precise sizing, we recommend preparing separate design files adjusted for each garment size. We will always contact you before any production or processing begins if adjustments are needed.
- Please convert all placed images to EPS format before inserting them, and send all linked image files together with your artwork.
- Rename the file to include your name before submitting
(e.g. `yourname_design1.ai`). - The file format must be .ai.
- If you are sending multiple files, please compress them into a .zip or .lha file where possible.
If your design contains very fine details (e.g. lines thinner than 2 pt), please contact us in advance.
