What is Sprko?

Sprko is a curated marketplace of print-on-demand-ready designs built for creators, sellers, and brands who want to ship products fast without wrestling with files.

Every listing is checked for print resolution, transparency, and POD compatibility so you can go from "I like this" to "it's on my store" in minutes.

Related questions

How does Sprko work?

Three steps:

  • Browse the marketplace and favorite anything that fits your niche.
  • Download the print-ready files from your library.
  • Drop the file straight into Printful, Printify, or any POD pipeline.

Do I need an account?

Yes. An account is required so we can track your downloads, store your licenses, and keep your favorites and library in sync across devices. Signing up is free.

02 · Downloads & Files

What do I receive when I download a design?

High-resolution transparent PNG files — production-ready design assets, not product-specific files. Most downloads ship at the right DPI for apparel, drinkware, wall art, accessories, and most other POD products.

Your files are production-ready artwork and may be suitable for a wide range of POD products beyond the preview shown — depending on the artwork.

Why did I receive a ZIP file?

Some designs include both Light and Dark optimized versions for different product backgrounds. To keep things tidy, those listings are bundled into a single ZIP so you get the full set in one click.

Related questions

Are the files transparent?

Yes. Every downloadable design ships with a fully transparent background so it drops cleanly onto any product color.

Related questions

What is a POD Package?

A POD Package is our standard delivery format: print-ready PNG(s), light/dark variants when relevant, and a license summary — packaged so it works with every major POD platform without re-export.

What is Free Personal Use?

Free Personal Use covers non-commercial projects:

  • Gifts for friends and family
  • Personal apparel, decor, or hobby prints
  • Educational and non-profit personal projects
Selling products made with Sprko designs requires Lifetime Commercial Access on your account.
Related questions

What is Lifetime Commercial Access?

A one-time account upgrade that unlocks commercial usage rights across the entire eligible Sprko marketplace — current and future designs. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, no per-design purchases.

Commercial rights belong to your account, not to individual designs. One purchase = marketplace-wide commercial access.
Related questions

Can I sell products using Sprko designs?

Yes — with Lifetime Commercial Access on your account. Once enabled, you can print and sell every eligible marketplace design on your POD store with no per-sale royalties and no per-design purchases.

Related questions

Can I use designs for client work?

Yes — with Lifetime Commercial Access on your account, you can use eligible marketplace designs in client projects as part of physical products you deliver. You cannot hand over the source file as a standalone deliverable.

Related questions

What is prohibited?

Regardless of your access tier, you may not:

  • Resell or redistribute the source files
  • Claim authorship of the design itself
  • Register the design as a trademark
  • Use it for hateful, illegal, or infringing purposes

05 · Designs & Mockups

Why do some designs have Light and Dark versions?

Detailed artwork can disappear on dark garments — or vice versa. When a design needs both, we publish optimized Light and Dark variants so it pops on every product color.

Related questions

What does "Recommended For" mean?

It's our curator's recommendation for which POD products this artwork will print best on — based on composition, contrast, and detail level. It is not an exclusive list. Most Sprko designs can be adapted to many other POD products depending on the artwork and your intended use.

Related questions

Can I use a design on products other than the preview shown?

Yes. Product previews are visual examples — not restrictions. Sprko provides design assets, not product-specific files. Most designs can be adapted for a wide variety of print-on-demand products depending on the artwork, dimensions, and intended use.

How are mockups generated?

Mockups are auto-composited from the source artwork onto curated product templates so you can see the design in context before you download.

06 · Custom Designs

Can I request a custom design?

Yes. Submit a brief through the Custom Design request flow — describe the concept, style, and intended product, and a curator will scope it for you.

Related questions

How much do custom designs cost?

Pricing depends on complexity, style, and revision count. You'll receive a fixed quote with your brief — no surprise fees.

Related questions

How long do custom designs take?

Most custom projects complete in 3–7 business days. Larger collections or multi-variant projects are scoped per brief.
