It's important to know how artwork will be placed on printarea. Why?
Because it affects 2 things:

• Mockup: after you add a printarea to a mockup, artwork will show up on the mockup in place of printarea for preview purpose.
• Order design: order design is created by placing artwork to the printarea, and fitting artwork to match printarea size.

How artwork is placed on printarea automatically

By default, artwork will fit in Printarea by:

• Scaling up (if smaller than printarea) to fit width or height of printarea (whichever comes first) & placing center-aligned.

• Scaling down (if bigger) to fit width or height of printarea (to contain all artwork) & placing center-aligned.

• No part of artwork will be cut off.

**This action is done automatically after adding an artwork to a printarea** . Users don't need to locate artwork manually.

However, there are some cases that artwork will not fit printarea:

1. When artwork's ratio is different from printarea's

Artwork will fit in printarea in a way to avoid cropping off any part of the artwork. Therefore, there'll be some blank areas on order design if artwork's ratio & printarea's ratio do not match.

2. When there is a change in printarea size

If you already add an artwork to a printarea in campaign, but then change the size of that printarea, then artwork will not automatically scale to fit the new printarea size.

In these two cases, you might need to edit artwork size to match printarea size, OR you can locate artwork manually.
Please follow the steps below to know how to locate artwork.

How you can adjust artwork's position on printarea manually

In campaign editor, after adding an artwork to a printarea, you'll find a Locate artwork button under the selected artwork.
Click on it will open a popup to adjust artwork's size and position in printarea.

By default, if users don't change anything, artwork will place on printarea in the automatic way mentioned in How artwork is placed on printarea automatically.
You can use the fields in the left panel, or drag and drop in the right preview, to change artwork size and position.

After locating, click "Save" to apply the change on mockup & order.

When there're blank areas between artwork and printarea, you can use Locate artwork to **scale up artwork to cover the blank** , but be aware that in order to do that, some parts of artwork will be cut off.

So you can use this feature to add the same artwork on multi-size products. Read this article to learn more: article link.

Use a supplier print template

Use your supplier's template to check safe zones and bleed while positioning the Artwork. Choose a template that matches your product and Printarea.

1. Go to Teeinblue Portal > Campaigns > by Product Base > open a Campaign > STEP 1: ADD PRODUCTS & ARTWORKS. Under the Artwork assigned to the Printarea, click Locate artwork > Print Template.

2. Select a PNG, JPG, or JPEG file from your computer. The button shows a thumbnail, and the template appears behind the Artwork.

3. In the same Locate artwork window, adjust Artwork Size and Position using the template as a reference, then click Save to apply the Artwork placement.

• The template stays centered within the Printarea and keeps its original aspect ratio. It has a fixed opacity of 70% and cannot be moved or resized.
• To replace it, click Print Template and choose another file. To remove it, click × next to the thumbnail.
