Dropshipping - Automated Scaling of Print Artwork

At GoCustom Clothing, we are continually seeking ways to enhance your experience and the quality of our print-on-demand fulfilment service. We understand that consistency in product quality is paramount to your business's success and brand reputation. As such, we are excited to announce a significant update to our Dropshipping platform, one that many of you have been eagerly anticipating – the introduction of automated scaling for design prints.

We are thrilled to let you know that on Monday, February 19, 2024, GoCustom Clothing will usher in a new era of precision and consistency in print-on-demand fulfilment with the official launch of our automated scaling technology. This significant upgrade is engineered to ensure your designs are presented accurately across all garment sizes, maintaining brand integrity, and supporting the premium look of your products.

Streamlined Consistency Across All Sizes

Until now, the artwork submitted to us has been printed at a uniform size across all garments. This one-size approach meant that designs on an XL t-shirt compared to an XS t-shirt could appear disproportionately sized, affecting the overall aesthetic and potentially diverging from your online product images. Our production engineers have been manually scaling down images to fit onto smaller garments; however, this manual process occasionally led to inconsistencies due to its inherent nature.

Note that scaling doesn’t apply to the following:

• Nape position
• Label position
• Embroidery designs

A Seamless Transition for Superior Results

To facilitate a smooth transition to this cutting-edge feature, we have made the automated scaling option available in your account settings as of today. 

Here’s How It Works:

• Automated scaling automatically adjusts your designs to fit various garment sizes while maintaining the original proportions. This ensures that your designs retain their intended appearance from XS to XXL, enhancing customer satisfaction.
• If your preference is to keep your designs at a fixed scale without automatic adjustments, you may opt-out by switching off this feature in your account settings.
• Even with automated scaling disabled, our skilled engineers will continue to ensure that any artwork too large for smaller garments is manually adjusted.
• When automated scaling is activated, it applies to all apparel with Direct-to-Garment (DTG) print positions, streamlining your production process. Please note that this feature does not apply to embroidery.
• Scaling is only applied to garments which come with multiple size variations, it does not affect items such as mugs and bottles.
• Artwork will only be scaled down; we will never scale up the size of the artwork as this may degrade the quality of the printing.

Action Steps for GoCustom Partners

As part of our commitment to providing you with a user-friendly experience, we've ensured that the default setting for automated scaling is turned on for your convenience.

• If you wish for automated scaling to be applied to your designs, no action is required on your part.
• To opt-out of automated scaling, simply navigate to your account, visit the ‘My Designs/Products’ page and switch off the feature.
