Overview

To ensure consistent quality and reduce delays to launch, all artwork must be submitted according to defined specifications. 
This document outlines the Artwork Generation Process and its requirements.

  

Artwork Generation Process


 

Artwork File Format

LGM should provide artwork in the following format: 

  1. File Format: PNG

    1. Resolution: 300 dpi 

      1. Color Mode: RGB 

      2. File Size: < 100MB 

  3. Transparent

Preferred ICC/Color Spaces

CMYK print-safe colors; web-safe/RGB-only colors will be converted to CMYK. 

 

RGB: 

 

  • sRGB IEC61966-2.1 

CMYK: 

  • U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) V2 

  •  ISOcoated_V2 

Minimum Line Weight and Letter Size: 

  • Solid line thickness: 1.5pt (=6px at 300dpi) 

  • Negative space line thickness: 2pt (=8px at 300dpi) 

Font size (for legibility): 

  • 12pt for a thinner (light-regular) font 

  • 10pt for a thicker (bold) font 

 


Additional Note: For DTG printing the fulfiller accepts 3-4px as a minimum line weight.  
This is particularly important for small printing elements, such as Registered Trademarks. For example: ® & ™

Artwork Guidelines

Please make sure that your artwork files (excl. Neck labels) meet the following guidelines to eliminate mistakes and re-prints. 

Dimensions 

Artwork files requested from the LGM design team should match the dimensions of the intended print area location on the Blank product to ensure accurate placement and scale of visual elements. 

To find the print dimension information ahead of creating the virtual product, simply edit the Blank product SKU that you intend to use, click on Print option from the left-hand options menu and then choose Print Areas from the top row of options. 

Find the print area using the Name field and then read across to Print Size. This gives the dimensions of the print output at 300dpi. The input artwork file should match this specification. 

Chest Placement 

For any Front artwork intended to be printed with a chest placement, ensure that the positioning follows the guidelines in the PSD files provided. 

Important note: Ensure that you pick the PSD with the correct dimensions that match the Blank. 

Text, Registration, Trademark and other Symbols 

These elements must be a minimum 3-4 pixels in line weight to not get choked out and remain visible in the print. 

Sense Checks 

  • Check that the artwork file visually matches the mock up PDF approved by the brand partner.  

  • Ensure that no details from the design are missing  

  • Ensure that the colours of the artwork file match those in the pdf  

  • Ensure that any colours are left transparent in the artwork file where the intention is to use the garment colour for this purpose 

  • ​

Artwork Placement

Graphics should be provided on a “template” where the document size of the PNG correlates with the pallet the garment will go on (refer to sizes above). 
The graphic itself should be placed within the “template” in relation to the preferred placement on the garment, where the top of the file will be anchored to the collar of the garment and centered. 


Y Offset or “vertical placement” will be determined by the distance between the top of the file and the top of the graphic; the X Offset or “horizontal placement” will be determined by the distance between the left side of the file and the left side of the graphic.

Example provided below:

  

 

 

   

Suggested Left / Right Chest Placement 

These offsets are calculated so that the center of the graphic is aligned with the point on the collar where the sleeve seam touches. I've attached a visual representation of how these offsets translate in case that's a bit easier to digest and share around. Let me know if you have any questions or need further details: 

 

 


  • Unisex Standard Pallet Left and Right Chest (placements are based on a 4" x 4" graphic) 

  • Standard Y Offset: 51mm (2") 

  • - Y Offset formula for graphics shorter than 4"H: Ymm = ((102mm - Graphic Height mm) / 2) + 51mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmH: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 51mm = 82mm  

  • Standard X Offset - Left Chest: 244mm (9.6") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 4"W: Xmm = ((102mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 244mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 244mm = 275mm  

  • Standard X Offset - Right Chest: 51mm (2") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 4"W: Xmm = ((102mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 51mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 51mm = 82mm 



  • Unisex Zipper Hoodie Pallet Left and Right Chest (placements are based on a 4" x 4" graphic) 

  • Standard Y Offset: 51mm (2") 

  • - Y Offset formula for graphics shorter than 4"H: Ymm = ((102mm - Graphic Height mm) / 2) + 51mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmH: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 51mm = 82mm 

  • Standard X Offset - Left Chest: 248mm (9.7") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 4"W: Xmm = ((102mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 248mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 248mm = 279mm 

  • Standard X Offset - Right Chest: 55mm (2") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 4"W: Xmm = ((102mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 55mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((102mm - 40mm) / 2) + 55mm = 86mm 



  • Women's and Youth Children's (L) Pallet Left and Right Chest (placements are based on a 3" x 3" graphic) 

  • Please note; graphics larger than 3" x 3" should be placed at their forward or backwards limits (i.e. a 4" graphic would be placed as far left or right as mathematically possible/ the pallet would allow) 

  • Standard Y Offset: 51mm (2") 

  • - Y Offset formula for graphics shorter than 3"H: Ymm = ((76mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 51mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmH: ((76mm - 40mm) / 2) + 51mm = 69mm 

  • Standard X Offset - Left Chest: 184mm (7.2") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 3"W: Xmm = ((76mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) + 184mm 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((76mm - 40mm) / 2) + 184mm = 202mm 

  • Standard X Offset - Right Chest: 0mm (0") 

  • - X Offset formula for graphics narrower than 3"W: Xmm = ((76mm - Graphic Width mm) / 2) 

  • - E.G. graphic is 40mmW: ((76mm - 40mm) / 2) = 18mm 

 

Neck Labels

Current format neck labels include country of origin and must be provided by LGM for each design along with the print artwork. 

Neck Labels should meet the below requirements:  

  • Size: 76mm x 76mm 

  • File Type: PNG 

  • Transparent
