Personalisation and artwork

For the best print result, upload a clear, high-quality PNG, JPG or PDF file. Business logos with a transparent background are preferred where available.
A digital artwork proof is provided before printing where layout or positioning needs approval.
Print pricing
Prices are per print placement. One print placement means one printed area on one item.

| 2 to 9 prints | £8.99 each |
| 10 to 39 prints | £7.99 each |

| 75 to 99 prints | £4.99 each |

Example: A logo printed on the front of one T-shirt is one print placement. A front logo plus a back design on the same T-shirt counts as two print placements.

Delivery delays
Occasional delays affect delivery times. Weather, peak seasons and holidays slow postal services at times. These delays sit outside our control, so delivery dates remain estimates, not guarantees.
