FAQ
Art and Designs
How do I upload my design and start creating products?
What kinds of image/design files do accept?
Every awesome product starts with having your own amazing image or design. MerchYEAH accepts .png and .psd (Adobe Photoshop) files ideally on a transparent background.
If you have a large unwanted box around your design visible once you’ve uploaded your art, you will want to remove that from your original design file using the application you used to create your original art. Our printing is truly the best in the industry.
Before uploading and creating, and to ensure an amazing final printed product, please review the following:
- My design is clear and not blurry or pixelated when viewed at 100%.
- All backgrounds and unwanted design elements have been removed.
- My design is ideally 300dpi
- My design is saved at the size it will print (1000px x 1000px is the minimum size allowed)
- I’ve double-checked all text and verbiage for any typos and errors.
How many colors can be in my design?
With MerchYEAH, there’s no more counting colors like there was with old school printing.
Go crazy with those colors! Your designs can be simple or complex; just one color, or unlimited colors. We know we’re going to blow you away with quality, vibrancy, and the softness of the print. The extreme fine detail we’re able to produce is like nothing you’ve ever seen or experienced before.

How large does my art need to be?
MerchYEAH proudly has one of the largest imprint areas in the business. Our truly massive 13” x 18” max imprint area(dependent on garment) is considered over-sized by industry standards. As part of the creation process, and after uploading your design, you’ll be able to scale and places your design to make you mockup look just the way you want it.
Your image/design should ideally be the size you'll want the design printed and saved at 300dpi. All images/designs must be at least 1000px x 1000px and should be clear and not blurry or pixelated when viewed at 100%.
My design has a big box around it on the mockup. Will it look like that when it prints?
Our amazing MerchYEAH printing and production team is tasked with ensuring your final printed products look as close as possible to the mockups you create.
If you have unwanted backgrounds or elements that are part of your image/design file, you’ll want to be sure to remove those before creating products. If elements or backgrounds are present and can be seen on your mockup, those will very likely be printed and seen on the final printed products.
To delete an item, simply go to MY Library and delete the item and then create a new item using a new art piece.
How can I ensure my designs are scaled and centered the way I want them?
When creating items, you’ll be able to move, scale and rotate your designs so they look just the way you want them to look. You can also optionally turn guides on and off for a bit more precision.
- To move your design: Click, hold, and drag your design to the desired location.
- To scale your design: Click, hold, and drag one of the frame corners as you would with cropping and enlarging tools in most design applications.
- To rotate your design: Click, hold, and drag the rotate icon located on the top right frame corner.
You don’t have to go crazy about precision. The mockup you create is simply a guide for our amazing print and production team. Our production team will always do their best to properly center and place your design when preparing your art for press.
What kind of presses and print methods do you use?
Internally we choose the perfect press and print method for each design based on different factors like complexity of the design, number of colors, quantity being produced and more.
Most products sold through MerchYEAH and MerchYEAH Partner Shops are typically produced and printed digitally, whereas larger bulk orders and orders of 50+ pieces are often printed using more traditional screen print presses. Be sure to check us out and give us a follow on Facebook, Instagram and all the Social Networks to checkout all of the cool things we’re printing and all of the amazing folks we work with.
Can I order a sample to see your quality?
Absolutely! With absolutely no minimums, you can order your own items at base cost (only visible to you). Simply create you your item and order right from yourself.
How can I ensure my design will be properly centered, placed and scaled?
We have the best printing and production team in the industry. Our team is tasked with ensuring the final printed product looks as close as possible to the mockup you create. Our team will use the mockup you create as their guide, but will always do their best to properly center, places and scale designs so they look as close as possible to your mock.
Can I add my designs to the fronts and backs of garments?
MerchYEAH you can! When creating your items, you’ll be able to upload an additional design that can be printed on the backs of garments.
Are there any design, content or subject matter restrictions?
MerchYEAH is an open place for social expression. Please do not upload designs that are or could be considered profane, hateful or pornographic.
MerchYEAH reserves the right to un-publish and remove designs and items at our sole and full discretion. Designs, products, and content can be terminated, removed completely or in part, and limited in terms of accessibility without notice.
Am I giving up my rights to my designs?
Your designs are yours. By working with MerchYEAH, you are simply granting and tasking us with the printing and fulfillment of orders on your behalf. You can delete and remove designs and products at any time, and can also close your shop any time you wish.
Why are the printed colors on the garment different than what I see on screen?
Monitors and mobile devices are backlit RGB screens whereas printed garments are typically printed as CMYK or Process Color. Variations between what you see on screen versus the final printed product is totally normal. Certain ultra-bright colors and colors colors like blues, teals, pinks, and reds can vary and in some cases appear less vibrant that what can be seen on a device’s screen.
If you have any concerns about specific design or colors in your design, we definitely recommend purchasing a sample from yourself before placing bulk orders or releasing a design for sale to large audiences.
