Identidad y pertenencia. Se compra para DECIR algo (quién soy, a quién quiero) y se regala mucho.
ZEUS measures 3 products in this category against the supplier catalog, so the numbers below are read from the source, not estimated. That matters because most of what goes wrong with a print-on-demand listing is decided before the design exists.

Art rules that apply here
- Fondo transparente: se imprime sobre la tela, que aporta el color.
- El diseño va centrado en el pecho; deja aire arriba y abajo.
- Cuidado con el color de la prenda: un diseño oscuro desaparece en negro.
Common mistakes
- Diseño demasiado grande para tallas pequeñas
- Texto fino que el DTG no resuelve
