Part 4: creating a T-shirt design in Printify, and where to find artwork
Play video
The business gets its first real product here. The video creates a T-shirt design in the Printify editor, covering placement, print area and how the mockups that buyers will see are generated.
It also answers the question every print-on-demand seller faces: where the artwork comes from. Source files you hold commercial rights to. Marketplaces act fast on intellectual property complaints, and a suspended Amazon or Etsy account costs far more than a design licence.
What you will learn
- How to create a print-ready design in the Printify editor.
- Where to find digital design files and what rights you need to sell them.
- How placement and print area affect the finished garment.
- How mockups become the listing images buyers see.
Steps shown in the video
- Choose the garment and print provider for the product.
- Prepare or source the design file.
- Position the design in the Printify editor and check the print area.
- Generate mockups for the store and marketplace listings.
- Publish the finished product to the Shopify store.
