This is a classic and common spot for branding – especially on the left side. Direct, visible, and easy on the eyes. Why on the left? When reaching for a handshake, the majority of people extend their right arm – covering the right chest design. Therefore, left-side logos are guaranteed to stay visible for most daily interactions.

While an interesting fact to consider when printing logos on custom products, don’t limit yourself to popular beliefs. Put your logos wherever you want to bring your ideas to life.

• Keep it simple and avoid detailing –people won’t see it.
• The logo design should be approximately 3” to 4” wide.

The front print area provides two options – full front or center chest printing. This kind of logo design is fully visible and allows more detail for your artwork. You can add a slogan, company name, or other design elements to complement the logo.

• The center chest area is 8” wide on average and placed approximately 4” from the collar.
• The full front print is usually 12”x14′‘ on average. Don’t forget to scale the logo design for different-size shirts.

The back design can also differ in size and printing options – upper back and full back.

The upper back placement is ideal for one-two word combinations, enterprise or event names, and titles. The full back print is perfect for displaying more than just a name. The full-back usually pairs well with a small front-chest logo, displaying more on the back while the front stays professional.

• The upper back area is usually 12”-14” wide and placed approximately 4” below the back collar.
• The full-back is 12”x14” on average, depending on the shirt size.

You can also decorate the tee sleeve with fun and promotional artwork.

The sleeve is ideal for simple and small logos that are easy on the eyes and comprehensible. Too many design elements will overpower the logo itself and appear too complicated. Keep it around 3” wide and approximately an inch above the hem.

Design a custom t-shirt with the logo integrated into unique artwork with oversized designs.

When the scale of the print is larger than average, don’t go overboard with the amount of ink used. Avoid colored backgrounds and “sweat patches.” Create a light and breathable t-shirt design with your logo as the centerpiece.
