I will prepare print ready apparel artwork and production files
Chris Hansen
About this gig
Sometimes the design is done and the file is the problem.
I prepare apparel artwork for the printer, decorator, manufacturer, or vendor who has to use it. That can mean cleaning up a rough file, rebuilding problem areas, setting the correct size and placement, organizing colorways, simplifying detail for the production method, or packaging everything so the next person isn't guessing.
This service can cover vector cleanup, print-file setup, resizing, placement art, limited-color adaptations, PMS or spot-color callouts, embroidery-conscious simplification, and production notes.
I've worked across apparel, packaging, retail, and digital production for more than 20 years. I'll review what you have, flag anything likely to cause trouble, and prepare the file for the agreed method and size.
Send the artwork, vendor specifications, intended decoration method, dimensions, and deadline. If the source is unusually complex or badly damaged, message me first so I can confirm the scope.
Complex redraws, advanced color separations, and embroidery digitizing are quoted separately.

I'm a senior graphic designer with 20+ years of experience across apparel, packaging, branding, retail, and digital.
I work in the messy middle between the idea and the finished thing: merch art that needs to print cleanly, packaging systems with more than one SKU, colorways, production files, and vendor handoffs.
My background includes national retail packaging, e-commerce, and brand systems. I can shape the direction, make the work, and prepare organized files for printers, manufacturers, or an internal team.
If the direction is still loose, I can help sort it out.

FAQ
Is this a design-from-scratch service?
No. This gig starts with artwork or a direction you already have. If you need an original merch graphic, the merch and apparel design gig is the better fit.
Can you vectorize low-resolution artwork?
Often, yes. Simple artwork may fit one of the packages. A complex redraw needs a custom quote after I inspect the file.
Do you create screen-print separations?
I can prepare limited-color artwork and color callouts. Advanced separations depend on the art and the printer's requirements, so those need to be confirmed before ordering.
Do you provide embroidery digitizing files?
Not by default. I can simplify artwork for embroidery and supply a clean vector reference, but machine digitizing is a separate specialist step unless we agree to include it.
What if my vendor has a template?
Send it. The final setup should follow the vendor's print area, ink limits, file-format rules, and any thread or color requirements.
Will you change the design?
Only where we agree it is necessary. I preserve the intended look, explain any production problem, and get approval before making a meaningful visual change.
