Front, back, and sleeve zones are the default. Pocket zones get added once embroidery goes live.
The Problem

Hoodies Have More Zones. That Shouldn't Mean More Work.

Without PrintXpand

Complex Setup, Lost Revenue

  • Customers can't visualise hood or pocket decoration
  • Each zone requires manual artwork positioning
  • Embroidery DST files created manually per order
  • Pricing doesn't update for multi-zone decoration
  • Color matching between zones is inconsistent
With PrintXpand

Multi-Zone, Self-Service Design

  • Real-time preview across all 6 hoodie print zones
  • Auto-positioned artwork per zone with bleed & safe areas
  • Embroidery DST auto-generated with stitch count estimate
  • Live pricing updates per zone, method, and quantity
  • Consistent color output across DTG, DTF, and embroidery
What You Get

Outcomes That Move Your Hoodie Business.

6-Zone Hoodie Editing

Customers design across front, back, left sleeve, right sleeve, hood back panel, and kangaroo pocket — each with independent boundaries and decoration method selection.

Embroidery-Ready Output

Auto-generate DST files for embroidery zones. Stitch count estimates, thread color mapping, and bobbin settings included — ready for your embroidery heads without digitiser involvement.

Mixed-Method Decoration

Customers can choose DTG for the back print, embroidery for the chest logo, and screen print for the sleeve — all in one order. Pricing and output files adjust per method.

Higher Average Order Value

More print zones mean more upsell opportunity. The designer nudges customers to add hood, pocket, and sleeve decoration — increasing AOV by 2.4x over basic t-shirt orders.

Real-Time Garment Preview

Customers see their design on the actual hoodie color and style before ordering — reducing returns, support queries, and production errors from misaligned expectations.

Production-Ready Files

Every zone outputs a decoration-specific file — high-res PNG for DTG/DTF, DST for embroidery, separated vectors for screen. No pre-press intervention required.
