One of the biggest questions we get is how do I know what size my design should be for my t-shirts. I’m going to show you how you can find that perfect size for each design as not all designs are equal.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Great ideas. I always find myself looking at design sizes on every shirt I see

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Great visual comparison! Thank you Crystal!! 💖🌼💐💖🌼💐💖🌼💐

[@jaz97]

I also noticed there is a difference in the size of shirt too. A design on a small will be a big difference than a 2XL shirt

[@forzaLT]

I'm definitely a visual learner. This helped a lot.

How big are the rulers you are using to measure from the side of the shirt?

[@jenniferhinojosa4236]

Hello, thank you for this vide. I wanted to ask how you size the image and print it out? Do you use a certain software to size the image? Thank you

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Jennifer! You can use Canva which has a free version or a design program like Cricut Design Space or Silhouette! - Dawn

[@bridgetsummerfield9283]

How about for the back side of a shirt?

[@jilliej7]

Very informative. Enjoyed. Is it three inches on both sides for adult basically? How about for youth?

[@DesignBundles]

For youth I would say at least 2 inches in depending how big you want the design.

[@nicoledickel4360]

How big should letters be on a design for an XL shirt? I have a few lines of letters but I don’t know if they are too big. Thanks

[@ROBERTALOLLIS]

Hello I am really new to making tee shirts I would like to know what type of printer would you use for doing the larger shirts

[@DesignBundles]

Many sublimation printers now come as wide format printers. They will easily print larger sized designs.

[@HorrorOfLondon]

@@DesignBundles could you do a video where you show us how to print a larger image on the bigger paper? I just got a sublimation printer and no idea where to begin

[@kisharonnie7701]

What is the name of the vinyl are you using for it to be clear like that

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

That was HTV. The clear part is just the backing the black part is the actual vinyl that will be pressed to the shirt the clear part will be removed. Once you’re done pressing it to the shirt, it doesn’t stay.

[@mafiabbw]

Thanks! Is there a guide by size or is measuring on each shirt best?

[@DesignBundles]

Hello Beth! We do have this shirt sizing guide here -- designbundles.net/community/t/t-shirt-sizing-guide/15374

[@r.hcarroll6581]

Question for those in the know. When creating these files to sell do I need to create them at these sizes or can I create them at the standard 4500x5400 px and let the end user adjust them as needed? I don't want to sacrifice any quality but I've never heard of needing to design at these sizes. Thanks.

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

This is more for end users printing for their shirts. If i were to purchase a design, I would appreciate quality that i can blow up as big as possible because what if i want to make a banner…. I prefer a high quality file that allows me to adjust as needed. Plus if someone makes kids shirts they will size down as well so i say keep your files high quality and allow end users to adjust as needed

[@r.hcarroll6581]

Thanks@@isabelgutierrez8150

[@reneejurgensen7280]

But you're wasting vinyle if it isn't the correct size. I am struggling to figure out how to determen the correct size to make a decal downloaded.

[@aprilruben-sydney3184]

where can i get the white and pink t-shirt that you started with to purchase

[@DesignBundles]

Hi April! All of the shirts can be found at www.clothingshoponline.com - Dawn

[@angelac273]

Does anyone know what font ‘indoorsy’ is please? Thanks :)

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

No, but if you take a screenshot and find a font searcher, you can put the image of this into that and it will try to find a font as closest possible sometimes the exact thought

[@lorriehernandez7811]

My printer only prints 8.5 wide, I would need to use htv then?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Lorrie! You can still do a print and cut project, but you may need to cut the design in half first, and then print it on two pages. We have a video that can help here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5CypIeKi8uNj7c

[@daiyonmensah3905]

Hi! I didn’t catch the measurements for adult large t-shirt

[@DesignBundles]

I recommend measuring your shirt as many shirts will differ in size.

[@smilesforu92]

I’m not sure how to word my question please bare with me. Is the size of the design supposed to stay the same regardless of the size of a shirt? Or are you supposed to increase the size of the design to match the size of each shirt? For example, the size of the design should be the same for a size S and 2x?

[@angelac273]

You need to increase the size of the design for the size of the shirt. Imagine using a design that you used on a size small shirt and using the same on a 2XL…it would be ridiculously small. So, size up for bigger shirts and size down for smaller!

[@smilesforu92]

@@angelac273 thank you so much for your help! ☺️

[@angelac273]

@@smilesforu92 Yeah, no problem!

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

⁠@@angelac273 I have actually seen this, where I feel like they may have used the size medium design and just put it on all the shirts…I was like “wow how do they sell anything because this looks awkward in many of the sizes” 😂

[@michellewilliams8829]

What size font? I understand the height and width.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Michelle! Depending on your shirt size, you may want to keep your design around 8in x 8in for children's shirts.

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

Each font will depend on the size, so never go off font size as a general rule, because three different fonts will be a different size at the same font size. The best thing is to create a box on your design program and fill the box with whatever your design or font is and that way you’ll never go outside of your real estate parameters

[@christinagoggin9531]

Isn't that what a template is for

[@angelac273]

That’s like someone making a video showing how to apply HTV with an iron and then saying ‘isn’t that what a heat press is for’ Well yes, of course. But this video is not showing that method.

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

Yes, but often times beginners do better if you show them a visual reference. When I was first starting out, I would use a template but I would still do a Silhouette cut of whatever design I was making just so I could visually see it on the shirt and see if I liked how big it was or if I thought it needed to be bigger and that’s how I got better at using my templates and knowing where I felt my edges should end. Some people are just more visual learners, and a template is not enough of a physical visual for them.

[@ykyoungin6466]

Everybody always misses the info on how they or what they did to get that design to 13 inches🤦🏽‍♂️ no tutorial on nothing on that part she just came in with a ruler 😂

[@webwarren]

Some things to consider: will this shirt be tucked in, or left outside? Will it be worn by a woman with pronounced breasts? Someone who is pregnant or pot-bellied? All of these affect the size and placement of your image(s). FWIW, Ante Up Graphic Supply has a jpeg of guidelines for different types of placement on standard adult (SML) shirts at anteupgraphicsupply.com/product_images/uploaded_images/ante-up-tshirts-placement-mock-up.jpg

[@isabelgutierrez8150]

This is nice and all but I wish that they would consider that a size small in adult is very different than a size large in adult and therefore all the sizing should be adjusted. Like I would not put that full front on a size small because it would be extremely large, but it would fit nicely on a large size T-shirt. When I make shirts, I always learn the front measurements of each shirt and then I make adjustments for every size from small all the way to 4X in my design so I have every size ready and available depending on what is ordered. But the sizing guide is a good way to start. But I don’t think it’s a good covers all sizes of shirts type thing. I also make a lot of kids shirts and so I’ve seen a lot of different sizes and I’ve had to make lots of adjustments.
