IMPRINT LOCATIONS
How big to print and where to put it on t-shirts, hoodies, pants, hats and bags: typical and max sizes for every common imprint location, from left chest and full back to sleeves, leg prints and jersey numbers. Search a location, then filter by product and fit.
Placement: Center the design on a line just off the outside edge of the collar, level with the bottom of the armpit seam, then nudge it slightly above that line.
Small polo logos sit a little higher on the same line. Wide logos sit above the armpit line; never closer to the side seam, or it turns into an under-the-arm print once worn.
Placement: Top of design 3–3.5" below the neckline (1.5" on a v-neck).
The most popular front print. Scale proportionally: wide logos stay shorter, tall ones narrower.
Placement: Top of design 3–3.5" below the neckline (1.5" on a v-neck).
Keep it in the upper chest. Prints that run too low land on the belly and get lost in fabric folds.
Placement: Top of design 3–3.5" below the back collar.
Placement: Top of design 1.5" below the back neckline, centered between the shoulders.
Great second print for a URL, brand name or small logo when the front already has a design.
Placement: Top of design 2–3" below the back collar, centered across the shoulders.
Wide and short: business names, websites and team names above a back print.
Placement: Just below the back collar, inside or outside the garment.
Inside labels replace the sewn tag: size, care and brand info in one print.
Placement: Centered on the outside of the sleeve, bottom of design 1–2" above the hem.
Team initials, a flag, a mascot or an event date.

Placement: Bottom of design 2–3" above the hem, 2–3" in from the side seam.
Placement: Top of design 3–3.5" below the neckline. Keep the bottom of the design above the pouch pocket.
The pouch pocket caps the height. Measure from the neckline to the pocket seam before sizing your art.
Placement: Start the design about 6" below the back neckline (4–4.5" if the hood is worn up) so the hood doesn’t cover it.
Lay the hood flat and check where it falls before you size your art.
Placement: Top of design about 3" below the shoulder seam, centered on the outside of the sleeve.

Ribbed cuffs stretch. Keep the design small and use a formula made for stretch.

Build your art file at the exact size you want printed. We don’t resize art to fit the sheet you pick.
Every brand cuts differently. Check sizes against the actual garment, especially for ladies, youth and toddler fits.
Resizing for a smaller fit? Scale width and height together so your logo doesn’t stretch.
Our Art Services team can resize, vectorize or gang your art for every fit.
