1. Choose Your Dakimakura Size and Material
Start by choosing the size and fabric that suit your artwork, space, and budget. Check the available options on our custom dakimakura product page before preparing your final file.
2. Prepare Your Artwork
Use a high-quality RGB image at 300 DPI. PNG is preferred, while a high-quality JPG can also work. If your design has a front and back, label both files clearly and check their orientation before submitting them.
We check submitted files for obvious issues before production, but this is not a full design or retouching service. Review your final artwork carefully.
