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.
Therefore, starting May 17, 2025, the front placement name will be discontinued in the catalog endpoints and will no longer be searchable. This means: for new product creations, you’ll need to use the new placement name front_large instead.
Existing products using the front placement will continue to work, and orders will be processed as usual. Switching to the expanded placement is optional. If you want to upgrade to the larger placement, update your product information accordingly.
Do you need to do anything?
Existing products:
- Existing products don’t need to be changed, and you can continue selling them.
- Editing existing products will automatically update them to use the new placement name front_large without any action from your side. If you want to adjust your design to fit the larger print area, please check the design’s scaling and DPI.
New products:
- After May 17, the placement name front won’t be returned in the Catalog responses for the affected products .
- You can retrieve the new placement name front_large by requesting a specific product from the Catalog and inspecting the section Result > Product > Files > Type in API V1 and section Data > Placements in API V2.
