What should I know before uploading my design?

In your user area "My Spreadshirt" you can upload vector image formats (.eps, .ai till version CS2 and .cdr till version 11) as well as pixel image formats (.bmp, .jpg, .gif and .png.)

If you want to upload a design to the Spreadshirt Designer in order to directly buy you must use the pixel format . The reason for that is explained below.

Vector Graphics - Requirements for the Printing:

In order to use plot printing , your vector graphic must follow a few guidelines (i.e., compliance of the minimum line thickness, fulfillment of the minimum font, at most three colours and no gradient.) Our service team will check that everything is in order. This process lasts between 24 and 48 hours . If your graphic doesn't match the guidelines, it won't be accepted and we'll tell you about it per e-mail.

Pixel Graphics - Requirements for the Printing:

Because designs in the Spreadshirt Designer must be immediately available, it is currently only possible to upload pixel graphic images . Uploading pixel graphics is technically easy , but there are legal aspects to watch for. Every pixel graphic image uploaded for printing will be checked for copyright infringements .

Limitations on Uploading Graphics:

As the owner of a standard account you are allowed to upload three vector images free of charge . Every time ten of your individually designed articles have been sold, we will provide you with five additional designs.

As a premium member you are able to upload an unlimited number of vector images , up to 20 designs per day are allowed.

There are no limitations for uploading pixel graphic images .
