What’s changing?
We’re upgrading our direct-to-garment (DTG) print placements by introducing a single standard front print area of 15″ × 18″ for select products and sizes—at no extra cost. This replaces the previous standard front (12″ × 16″) print placement, making it easier to design bigger prints without additional fees.
This change will be rolled out gradually, starting with a select group of products.
Which products are affected?
The new 15″ × 18″ front DTG print area will be available on specific products. The new standard print placement is available for the following products:
- Unisex Tri-Blend T-Shirt | Bella + Canvas 3413 (sizes L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)
- Unisex Staple T-Shirt | Bella + Canvas 3001 (sizes L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)
We’ll continue expanding this list, so stay tuned for updates. Find all currently available products here.
What does this mean for you?
- Bigger print area, same price—the new 15″ × 18″ print size is now standard for select products and sizes at no extra cost
- Seamless transition—if your designs already fit within 12″ × 16″, they’ll still work, but you can now expand them up to 15″ × 18″
- Better visual impact—larger prints mean more flexibility in design and bigger, bolder branding
Do you need to do anything?
Your existing products will remain available, but we recommend checking your designs to ensure they fit the new larger print area. If necessary, you can resize your graphics in Printful’s Design Maker to make the most of the expanded print space.
For the API users, there’s no need to update the synced product placements. However, after May 17, the front placement won’t be returned in the catalog responses for the mentioned products.
The new placement will be the new default under the name large_front, and users can retrieve the updated placement details directly from the Catalog API endpoints.
Future updates
We’ll continue adding more products to support the new 15″ × 18″ standard front print placement. For updates, check the Help Center or your Printful Dashboard.
