Printing guide

At ShirtUp!, the printing quality of our products is our top priority. We take great care to ensure that each print is done with the highest possible quality using premium and environmentally-friendly inks. That's why it’s also important to consider our image requirements. Here we share more information about our printing processes and the associated costs.

INKS

What kind of inks are ShirtUp! clothing printed with?

We have a vision of sustainability and a commitment to the environment, which is why we print your garments with sustainable water-based inks. These inks are made by suspending a 100% biodegradable pigment in a water base. It is a printing technique with DTG technology that is gaining popularity due to its combination of quality and respect for the environment. This technique can reproduce a multitude of colors. However, it cannot be used to print metallic or fluorescent colors, for which you will need to use other techniques.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

• Wash inside out.
• Always wash cold. Machine wash at 30ºC maximum.
• Do not bleach or use bleach stain remover.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Iron inside out, avoiding the design.

PRINTING AREA

Before placing your order, here are a few quick tips to make sure your design looks just right:

•Design size stays the same:Your design won’t scale with clothing sizes. It’ll look bigger on an XS and smaller on an XXL. The editor shows a medium (M) size for reference.
•Watch the placement:The distance from the collar may vary by size, but the design size doesn’t change. Avoid placing it near zippers, seams, or pockets to prevent distortion.
•Use strong contrast:Avoid black-on-black or white-on-white designs — they won’t be visible. Pick colours that stand out.
•Double-check before checkout:Once you place your order, we won’t make any edits. What you see is what gets printed.

Take a final look in the editor before confirming — it’s worth it!

PRINTING COSTS

The selling price of ShirtUp! products does not include printing costs. Once you have created the design and added the item to the shopping cart, the printing costs will be calculated automatically. You can see these costs clearly during the checkout process.

The printing costs we charge depend on the printing area. Printing charges for the back and/or the front are €7,50 per print. The extra fee for printing the sleeves is €5 per print. You can place as many designs and text in a print area as the space allows.

PRINTING RESULTS

When choosing between our Basic, Comfort, or Premium lines, it's important to note that print result varies with the material.

Our Comfort and Premium lines feature thicker fabrics that deliver sharper, more vibrant prints, perfect for making your designs stand out. While the Basic line offers a budget-friendly option with lighter fabrics, it may result in a less vivid print. Select the line that best aligns with your design vision for the perfect result.
