Ftech PSG™ Proportional Scaling Graphics Most garment manufacturers use today a unique custom graphic for all sizes (from XS to 3XL). This solution is the easiest and quickest way for production, it lowers costs, but it doesn’t guarantee a good visibility of the graphics/logo when the garment is worn, it may even look altered or distorted. The “Proportional Scaling Graphics” PSG™ is another exclusive quality of Ftech; it was carefully studied to obtain the right proportions of the designs and of the logos in different types of garments. Each size will have a different dimension of digitized graphics.
