DTF T-Shirt Print Position Calculator
Choose your T-shirt and set the artwork size and placement. All measurements are in mm.
Front print
Back print
Artwork dimensions are width × height. Positive horizontal offset moves artwork to the right in the displayed view. Shirt measurements use your supplied size chart. Logo presets and neckline gaps are planning defaults. Garment outlines and neckline depths are schematic; confirm placement on the actual shirt before pressing. Printlab's stated maximum print area is 200 × 287 mm, or 287 × 200 mm when rotated.
DTF T-Shirt Print Position Calculator Malaysia – Calculate Artwork Size & Placement Before Printing
Not sure how large your logo should be or where your DTF artwork should sit on a T-shirt? Use Printlab's DTF T-Shirt Print Position Calculator to plan front and back print size, neckline gap, horizontal alignment and artwork placement before sending your shirt for DTF printing.
Plan the Correct DTF Print Size Before Pressing Your T-Shirt
A DTF artwork can look very different on a T-shirt compared with how it looks on a computer screen. A logo that is too small may look weak, while a design that is too large can sit too close to the neckline, sleeves or hem.
Printlab's calculator helps you visualise the relationship between the T-shirt dimensions and your DTF artwork before production.
Set Artwork Width
Enter the intended DTF artwork width and see its relative scale on the shirt.
Set Artwork Height
Control artwork height or length so portrait and landscape designs can be planned properly.
Set Neckline Gap
Adjust the distance between the neckline and the top of the print.
Horizontal Centre Offset
Move artwork away from the centre line for left-chest, right-chest or custom placement.
Front Print Planning
Configure front artwork separately for chest logo, centre print or large front graphics.
Back Print Planning
Plan a separate back design with its own size, position and neckline gap.
