Shirts, hats, and gear — art built for decoration. Designed to survive screen print, embroidery, and DTG instead of falling apart on the first wash or the second pass.
Decoration-ready art is a different discipline than logo design. Screen print has color count limits. Embroidery needs minimum stitch sizes and can't handle ultra-fine detail. DTG wants a certain file format and resolution. Art that ignores these realities gets rejected at the decorator or comes back looking nothing like the mockup.
BlackCat Media designs for decoration from the first stroke. Colors are counted. Fine lines are thickened for stitch. Gradient-heavy designs get reworked for separations. Files leave the bench in the format your decorator actually needs — vector artwork, Illustrator files, or high-res PNGs depending on the process.
We've built art for CCV Music, Ore-Ida, NorthPoint, and Real Thread. Big runs, small runs, single-color one-hits, and full-color event shirts. The process is the same every time: build it right so it comes back right.
Spot-color separated files. Color count tracked. Underbase spec included. Halftone work available. Print-ready vector.
Designs sized and simplified for stitch — minimum thread widths respected, fine details adjusted so they survive needle and bobbin.
High-resolution PNG files optimized for direct-to-garment print — correct ICC profiles, transparent backgrounds, white-ink channel notes where needed.
From concept to decorator-ready files for a full line — shirts, hats, hoodies, totes. Consistent look across every piece.
Merch jobs come from everywhere. A church doing their annual event shirts. A band pressing their first run. A restaurant that wants staff polos. A contractor who wants their name on every crew member's back. A company doing trade show giveaways.
The job is the same regardless of industry: build the art so the decorator can run it, and so the end product looks like it cost more than it did. That's the whole game.
We work with your existing decorator or can point you toward trusted partners in the Phoenix metro. We handle the art side of the equation so you're not caught between the designer and the printer when something doesn't match.
