Currently, the areas of a product you can design vary by product and material type. Areas we offer for printing are the front, back, right and left upper sleeve and left and right chest for embroidery. For products such as masks or hats, the areas available are limited because of less surface area. Currently, some jacket materials are only available for embroidery customization.

Slaite uses water-based inks to custom print on the garments.
The number of Dots Per Inch (dpi) is important to consider when you upload artwork to include in your Slaite collection. A printed image and an image viewed on a digital display vary in the number of dpi to showcase high quality and image integrity. A lower dpi will appear pixelated or will have other quality issues when its printed on a garment. At Slaite, we provide low quality warnings to avoid any low-quality printing.
If you are creating your artwork in Adobe, please do not save your file as “Save for Web”. This will reduce the resolution and may cause printing quality issues.
Your file size cannot be larger than 25MB.
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch and resolution of a digital photo refers to the photo’s pixels. Slaite uses digital printing to customize your products. When printing digital artwork onto a garment, the dpi must be considerably higher than the pixels per inch (ppi) to produce similar quality to the video display of the artwork.
Your artwork must be a minimum of 300dpi to ensure your logo or design is rendered in high quality.
Slaite currently offers Direct to Film (DTF) and embroidery customization services.
When using custom embroidery in your branded apparel, your design is sewn onto your chosen garment using a needle and polyester thread. A backing is placed on the inner portion of the garment to keep the stitches together to ensure the design does not unravel. Embroidery is a fully automated process wherein machines read a digitized pattern from a file to reproduce pattern.
At Slaite, we are believers in research, development and testing to ensure our Creators are provided the highest quality products and services to extend to their customers. All garments are selectively chosen based on the quality of the product and its compatibility with DTF printing and embroidery. We rigorously test products to ensure your design will look great while also being a durable garment for your customer.
The design decoration charges vary between garment based on type of garment, type of fabric, type of decoration and the amount of labour needed. Each additional design location will increase the cost of the product. If you have any questions about the cost breakdown of a specific product with various decoration locations, we encourage you to reach out to our customer service team at help@slaitepod.com.
