The example on the right demonstrates the measurement required to use the chart below. Ensure you lay your top flat and measure from armpit to armpit in cm.

You can send me a picture taken this way, I will then create a life size digital mock-up for you (using either your artwork or one of our designs).
For the best mock-up. please take the picture directly above looking down as square as possible.

Sizing Guide 2

1. Standard Transfer Sizes (in cm):

Based on the common sizes for T-shirts, here are standard transfer dimensions in centimetres:

Adult T-Shirts (Small to Extra-Large):
- Full front design: 25 to 30 cm wide (height proportional, around 30 to 35 cm).
- Chest logo (centered): 8 to 13 cm wide.
- Left chest design: 7.5 to 10 cm wide.
- Full back design: 25 to 30 cm wide.
Youth T-Shirts:
- Full front design: 18 to 23 cm wide.
- Chest logo: 7 to 10 cm wide.
- Back design: 18 to 23 cm wide.
Toddler T-Shirts:
- Full front design: 13 to 18 cm wide.
- Chest logo: 5 to 7 cm wide.
- Back design: 13 to 18 cm wide.

2. Considerations for Placement:

Full Front Design: Aim for 25-30 cm wide and adjust the height accordingly. For example, if it’s a tall design, you might go for 30-35 cm in height.
Left Chest Design (Pocket Area): Keep this smaller, about 7.5 to 10 cm wide.
Back Design: Similar to the front, 25-30 cm wide, depending on the design.
Sleeve or Small Logos: For smaller areas like sleeves, aim for 5 to 7.5 cm wide.

3. Shirt Size and Style:

Consider the overall shirt size in centimetres (which varies by brand) to ensure the transfer is proportionate:

For an adult large shirt, which might have a chest width of about 50-55 cm, a full front design of around 25-30 cm wide would look balanced.
For a youth medium shirt with a chest width of around 35-40 cm, a design of around 18-23 cm wide would be more suitable.

4. Measuring on the Shirt:

Lay the shirt flat and use a ruler or tape measure to get an idea of the available space.
If possible, print out or cut a paper template in the size you’re considering (in cm) and place it on the shirt to visualize the result.

Sizing Guide 3

If you do not have a tape measure, you can use A4 paper as a sizing guide.

A4 = 21 x 30cm
A5 = 14.85 x 21cm (A4 folded in 1/2)
A6 = 10.5 x 14.85cm (A5 folded in 1/2)
A7 = 10.5 x 7.4cm (A6 folded in 1/2)

A4 paper is also a good indicator of how the transfer will look when worn, by standing in front of a mirror and gauging whether the long or short side is close to the size you want.

Tip: Try cutting out the transfer size from paper first and placing it on the shirt for a preview.
