DTG (Direct to Garment) Print Sizes Difference
In the DTG process, the print area is designated by the size of the platen, we use 4 sizes of platens.
The default platen we use is Medium size, but since the print areas are different on different products, we have to change the size to suit the product's print area. ie XL, 2XL and 3XL hoodies fit on the Medium platen in some way, S, M, L hoodies have to be printed on the Small platen. As in tees, M to 2XL sizes fit perfectly on the Medium platen, because of the seams on the sleeves, we have to use Small platen size when printing S size tees.
We generally arrange the mockup/product proportion t to larger sizes, L or XL since there are more of the larger sizes (L to 3XL, even 4XL and 5XL for other products) and these sizes sell more and we noticed customers are way more OK when they receive relatively bigger print than a small one
The AOP+ App exports the artworks as they had been placed in the red square so we don't manually size them. When your artwork is fit to our production platen, it measures 26cm and a Medium sleeve to sleeve size is 41cm where on XL, it is 49cm so it looks bigger on a smaller size product.

The template is basically the size of our default template and if you place your design on this template and leave the mockup generator 100% view, the size will print exactly as your original design.
