Large sleeve prints let you place artwork along the length or width of any garment sleeve, working beautifully on both long sleeves and hoodies, as well as on short sleeves for bold upper-arm designs. we support extended vertical prints up to 19 inches, giving creators a larger canvas than standard sleeve printing—perfect for oversized graphics, wrap-around artwork, and statement typography.
