Using Campaign Editor


Kindly follow the instructions in this article on how to edit your campaign's design in the Campaign Editor.

Using Photoshop


Add artwork to the template: You can either copy and paste your artwork to the Place your artwork here layer in the template, or click and drag it from your folder to this layer.


Adjust your artwork: This product is made up of different pieces that have been put together. Therefore, you should design them carefully so that these pieces fit each other.

Adjust your artwork in the most balanced and appropriate way possible by referring to the template's grey dashed lines.


Placket areas: On this shirt, the right and left plackets overlap each other. To make the artwork appear seamless, duplicate the design in the left placket (front left area) and adjust the artwork to the left side (of your view, or towards the front right area on the template) a range equal to the size of that placket.

Right and left plackets
