Print-safe zone
The print-safe zone is the area inside the 11″ × 15″ canvas where artwork will reliably print — using the setup from Step 1 as the reference. Prints start 1–3 inches below the collar depending on shirt size, so keep critical elements (faces, text, focal points) well inside the safe zone.
Print location
The diagram shows how artwork placed within the canvas translates to print position on the finished shirt. Use it as a quick reference when sizing and positioning your design before exporting.
