Why Imprint Areas MatterThe imprint area exists to ensure every part of your design makes it onto your products without being warped or distorted, and so nothing is accidentally cropped out in the imprint process. Our equipment uses specific margins, which can’t be changed: This is what determines the size of the imprint area. As long as your design fits within that area, it will be imprinted on your product.Since the size of the imprint area depends on the size of the product, highly detailed designs may look better on a larger product, like a tote bag or water bottle. If you’re not willing to sacrifice your artistic vision, perhaps consider switching products to get the best results.You don’t have to work this all out on your own! We list the imprint area on every product page (more on that in a second), and we’ll send you a free proof of what your design will look like on your chosen product, before it goes anywhere near the machines.Our customer service team are pros at getting designs to look their best, so you can always reach out with questions.
Take for instance our very popular Aluminum Water Bottle. Your maximum logo size will appear right underneath the product image!
You can also find your maximum logo size underneath "How We Add Your Logo" right on our product details page!This way you'll have a general idea about how big your logo will be on your chosen item. Remember, this is the maximum logo area as set by the vendor for your product.
Keep it CleanWhile it would be awesome if your logo took up every inch of your promotional product, it can't be adjusted anywhere past the specified size. The reason is this will keep your logo or custom design from going off the edge, getting cut off, or becoming blurry and smudged on your promotional products!There is also a minimum font size on each product to ensure your logo or slogan isn't too small and will show up clearly. It's all about making sure your logo looks nothing short of spectacular on your products!
Filter Through the OptionsThere are many options to choose from for your imprint area, but you don't have to be overwhelmed by them all! You can sort through with our item size search filter!You'll find an imprint area that will allow your custom design to take up enough space without having to worry about making it any larger. Since some designs are vertical and some are horizontal, it only makes sense to have imprint areas available in different shapes.

In the PortalIf you place an order or get a quote, you’ll also see the maximum and actual imprint size listed on the details page. The maximum imprint size is the absolute maximum amount of space your design can take up, whereas the actual imprint size is the size your design will be, keeping everything in proportion. For example, if your design is a 4" square, and the maximum imprint area is 4 x 11", your design will still be printed as a 4" square, in order to maintain the correct proportions.To view this information, go to the Needs Your Attention tab, find the right record, and click anywhere on the preview to open it. You’ll see a picture of your chosen product, showing the area on the product where your design will go. (Products with more than one possible imprint location will have photos for each.) The imprint area dimensions will be listed next to the photo.Now that you know the lowdown on imprint area, you can find a product that’s the right fit for your design – and trust that you’ll see it in a proof before you see it in person.

Maximum Imprint Area vs Actual Imprint SizeNote that although your design has to fit inside the imprint area, it won’t always fill the imprint area. This is the difference between the maximum imprint area – how big your imprint can be – and the actual imprint size – how big it will be, keeping proportions the same.For example, let’s say you want to print a banana that is three times as wide as it is high, and the maximum imprint size is 3" W x 6" H. If you position your banana horizontally, it can be a maximum of 3" wide, but to maintain the same proportions, it will be 1" tall.
