Guide to Using the Ecosleeve® Template
To ensure your artwork is print-ready and looks its absolute best, we’ve created this straightforward guide to help you through the process. If you need assistance at any step, our friendly team is always here to help.
1. Keep Important Content in the Safe Area
The safe area is marked clearly on the template. This is where all your key content—logos, text, and other important design elements—should stay. Keeping everything inside this area ensures it won’t be cropped or distorted during printing.
2. Extend Your Artwork to the Bleed Area
Your artwork should extend all the way to the edge of the artboard, up to the black dots. This extra bleed space helps prevent any white gaps during printing, especially since the fabric may shrink slightly during production. Don’t worry—our team will make sure it looks seamless.
3. Use the Right Resolution and Colours
- Resolution: For the best results, we recommend your artwork is set to 300 DPI, but a minimum of 150 DPI is acceptable.
- Colour Mode: Please ensure your file is in CMYK to guarantee accurate colour reproduction.
4. Save Your File in the Right Format
When your design is ready, please save it in one of these formats:
- PDF (preferred)
- AI (Adobe Illustrator)
- EPS
Before submitting, double-check that:
- All fonts are outlined (converted to shapes).
- All linked images are embedded in the file.
5. How to Submit Your Artwork
You can send your completed artwork via WeTransfer or a similar service to

6. Final Checks Before Submission
Before sending, take a moment to review the following:
- All important content is inside the safe area.
- The artwork reaches the bleed edges (up to the black dots).
- Your file resolution is at least 150 DPI (or higher if possible).
- Your file format is correct, with fonts outlined and images embedded.
