The Problem

Selling Custom T-Shirts Shouldn't Mean Manual Artwork.

Without PrintXpand

Manual, Error-Prone Process

  • Customers email artwork files in random formats
  • Staff manually set up each design for print
  • No real-time preview — reprints from misaligned art
  • Color separations done manually per order
  • Name/number orders require spreadsheet juggling
With PrintXpand

Automated, Self-Service Design

  • Customers design in-browser with live t-shirt preview
  • Print-ready files generated automatically per method
  • Real-time multi-zone preview: front, back, sleeves
  • Auto color separations for DTG, DTF, and screen
  • Name/number module: upload roster, auto-apply to design
What You Get

Outcomes That Move Your T-Shirt Business.

Multi-Zone T-Shirt Editing

Customers design across front, back, left sleeve, and right sleeve — each zone with independent print area boundaries, bleed, and safe zones configured to your production specs.

DTG, DTF & Screen Print Output

The design tool generates decoration-specific output: high-res PNGs for DTG/DTF, color-separated vectors for screen print, and gang sheet layouts for DTF film workflows.

Name & Number Personalization

Sports teams, corporate groups, and event orders. Buyers upload a roster CSV or enter names one-by-one — each garment gets unique personalization applied to the shared base design.

AI-Powered Design Suggestions

Built-in AI assists customers with font pairing, layout suggestions, and background removal — reducing design abandonment and increasing completed orders.

Real-Time Pricing by Method

Price updates live as customers add print locations, change decoration methods, or increase quantities. Supports tiered pricing, MOQs, and method-specific surcharges.

Print-Ready File Generation

Every completed design outputs a production-ready file — positioned, scaled, and formatted for your specific equipment. No pre-press rework required.
