What We Review Before Apparel Production
Artwork that looks fine on a screen may not be ready for garment production. IK Apparel reviews file quality, design size, placement, color setup, fabric choice, print method, and decoration method before sampling.
Logo & File Quality
We check resolution, edges, transparency, file type, missing layers, blurry text, and artwork scaling issues.
Print Placement
We review chest, back, sleeve, pocket, hood, shorts, jersey, and panel placements before sample production.
Decoration Method
We help check whether the design fits printing, embroidery, patches, rhinestones, foil, tackle twill, appliqué, or heat transfer.
Production Readiness
We review whether the file is ready for sampling, or whether it needs cleanup before production starts.
Design Repair Details Buyers Should Know
For print-ready artwork for apparel, the file should be clear, correctly sized, production-friendly, and suitable for the selected garment and decoration method.
Vector Artwork Cleanup
Vector artwork is preferred for logos, text, outlines, names, numbers, patches, screen printing, heat transfer, and embroidery planning.
File Format Review
Useful files may include AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PSD, PNG, or high-resolution artwork, depending on the decoration method and garment type.
Color & Contrast Check
Artwork colors should be checked against garment color, fabric surface, print method, thread color, patch material, or foil/rhinestone finish.
Size & Placement Review
A design that works on a t-shirt may need changes for hoodies, sleeves, caps, jerseys, shorts, pockets, or patch placements.
Embroidery & Patch Limits
Very small text, thin lines, heavy gradients, and fine details may need adjustment for embroidery, woven patches, chenille, appliqué, or tackle twill.
Sampling Before Bulk
A sample helps confirm artwork scale, color, placement, decoration quality, garment feel, and final appearance before bulk production.
Artwork Review by Decoration Method
Each decoration method has different artwork needs. IK Apparel reviews the file based on the final production method, not only the visual design.
Printing Artwork
For Screen Printing, DTF, DTG, heat transfer, and foil, artwork should be clear, correctly sized, and suitable for the garment color.
DTF & DTG Files
For Direct To Film DTF Printing and DTG Printing, file resolution, background, transparency, color, and fabric match matter.
Embroidery Artwork
Embroidery artwork should be checked for small text, stitch direction, thread colors, fill areas, border thickness, and final garment placement.
Patch Artwork
For Custom Patches, artwork should be reviewed for shape, border, size, backing, stitch detail, and garment application.
