Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Jacket for print:

  1. Choose Jacket colour

    Currently, there are basic Jacket colours available at Cloudprinter.com — grey, black, red, white, blue, light blue. Due to the material, microfleece is available.

  2. Choose Jacket size

    There is a variety of available Jacket sizes at Cloudprinter.com — starting from S up to 6XL. Choose the one that fits you best and keep in mind that the embroiding zone remains the same independently of the Jacket size.  

  3. Choose Jacket embroiding side

    Embroiding on the Front side of the Jacket is available for all the clients globally. The clients who are using Cloudprinter’s Print API have embroiding Front and Back side options available. To embroider on both the Front and Back sides, choose the templates for your size and upload 2 files to send your Jacket for global print. 

  4. Keep in mind embroiding area on Jacket Front and Back sides

    The embroiding area doesn't change depending on the size of your Jacket. The embroiding area is different on the Front and Back sides of the Jacket, so make sure to choose the file with the corresponding name. Include your picture within the limits of 90x80 mm (3.543x3.150 in) while designing the Front side of your Jacket. The Front embroiding area is located on the right or left side of the Jacket. When designing the Back side of the Jacket, include your image within the limit of 200x100 mm (7.874x3.937 in). You can either get a picture in the maximum possible size or place a picture of a smaller size wherever you want within the limits of the embroiding zone. It concerns embroiding both on the Front and Back sides of your Jacket.

  5. Select Jacket picture

    Make sure your picture quality and size are appropriate for the Jacket embroiding area. That's important to make sure the picture isn't blurred and meets your expectations when embroidered. 

  6. Prepare Jacket file for printing
    • Set 300 DPI resolution;
    • Choose RGB colour model;
    • Save the file in PDF/X-4.

Well done! Now you can print your Jacket all over the world as close to the delivery destination as possible.

When selecting a dark colour of the Jacket, you will need to print some elements with white colour. Here is a short video on how to prepare a print file with white colour:
