Prepare print-ready artwork for website orders using the requirements below and the instructions on your chosen listing.

How do I send my artwork?

Upload your artwork on the product page or provide a Google Drive or WeTransfer link where the listing allows it.

Ensure the file can be accessed. 

For custom products, use the correct FABX template where one is provided.

What resolution should my file be?

Prepare your artwork at its final print dimensions. 300 DPI is recommended; the minimum is 200 DPI at actual print size.

Use a clear, high-resolution original. Increasing the DPI setting of a blurry or pixelated image does not make it print-ready.

Check that text, logos and fine details are sharp before uploading.

FABX prints the artwork supplied. Artwork correction and image enhancement are not included.

What file format should I send?

AI, PDF, PSD and TIFF are preferred. High-resolution PNG or JPG may also be accepted for image-based artwork.

Outline fonts and expand strokes where applicable.

Follow any file requirements stated on your chosen listing.

Which colour mode should I use?

Prepare artwork in RGB colour mode unless your chosen listing specifies otherwise.

Screen and fabric colours can differ because of screen display, lighting, fabric colour, fibre, texture and print method.

A digital proof does not confirm the printed colour on fabric.

Do I need to use a FABX template?

Yes, where one is provided.

Templates account for print dimensions, bleed, safe areas, folds, sewing allowance and front or back placement.

Use the correct product template and follow its layout and file-preparation instructions. Incorrect template use may require clarification before production can proceed.

What is bleed?

Bleed is the extra printed margin beyond the final cut or sewing line.

It helps avoid unprinted edges on the finished item.

Where the template includes bleed, extend the artwork to fill it completely.

What is the safe area?

The safe area keeps important text, logos and artwork away from areas affected by cutting, sewing, folds or finishing.

Details placed too close to an edge may be trimmed, shifted or folded. Keep important elements inside the template’s safe area.

Can FABX edit, resize or correct my artwork?

No. Submit final, print-ready artwork.

Design editing, resizing, layout correction, colour correction, repeat setup, typo correction and image enhancement are not included in website orders.

If clarification is needed, we will contact you. You remain responsible for supplying the corrected file.

How do I check that my artwork is ready?

Before uploading, check:

• The file opens correctly and the link is accessible.
• Artwork is prepared at the final print dimensions.
• Resolution is suitable at actual print size.
• The correct FABX template is used where provided.
• Fonts are outlined and strokes expanded where applicable.
• Important elements sit inside the safe area.
• Bleed is filled where required.
• Front and back files are clearly labelled where applicable.
• Text, spelling, logos and layout are final.

Will I receive a digital proof?

A digital proof is optional where offered on the product page.

Select whether you want to approve a proof before printing.

If requested, production begins only after your written approval. Otherwise, print-ready artwork may proceed after review.

We will contact you if clarification is needed. Digital proofing does not include artwork editing or physical sampling.

What does artwork review include?

We review submitted files for access and basic production requirements such as sizing, layout and template use. We will contact you if clarification is needed.

This is not full design checking, proofreading, artwork correction or a guarantee that every issue in your file will be identified. Review your artwork carefully before submitting it.

Can I submit a repeat pattern?

Yes. Prepare a correctly sized, seamless repeat tile or the layout required by your chosen listing.

Breaks or mismatched edges in a repeat may appear in the print.

Repeat setup and correction are not included.

Can I submit placed artwork?

Yes. Place artwork using the dimensions and template for your chosen fabric or product. Keep important details clear of bleed, folds and sewing zones.

Can you guarantee exact edge or seam alignment?

No. Printing, cutting and sewing have normal tolerances.

Exact alignment across edges, seams or folds cannot be guaranteed.

Allow for slight variation in placement, shrinkage, stretching and finishing.

What if I uploaded the wrong file or need to change it?

Submit an enquiry through our Contact Us form with your order number as soon as possible.

If production has not begun, a file replacement may be possible, subject to confirmation.

Once production begins, artwork replacements or corrections are no longer possible.
