T-Shirt Print Size Guide
Recommended print widths for left chest, full front, back and sleeve by adult size.
Always verify against the brand’s size chart and leave clearance from seams.
How it works
We look up a practical starting width for the size + placement combination, then convert width × 300 DPI to a canvas pixel width.Heights should follow art aspect ratio — use the Aspect Ratio Calculator if you need matching height.
Worked example
Adult M full front ≈ 12 in wide → 3600 px at 300 DPI.Left chest on M ≈ 4 in → 1200 px wide.
Clearance reminders
| Placement | Watch for |
|---|---|
| Full front | Collar and hem; avoid armpit stretch zones |
| Full back | Yoke seam and lower hem |
| Left chest | Pocket area and button plackets |
