# Apparel Sleeve Printing Instructions


# Apparel Sleeve Printing – Left/Right Sleeve Options
 
The sleeve printing feature enables customization by allowing designs to be printed on the left or right sleeves. This option is available for short-sleeve and long-sleeve apparel, including t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts.

|| Note: All orders that include a sleeve print area will be produced using DTF printing by default. Please review and adjust your design file accordingly, or choose a design that is best suited for DTF, before creating the order.
