Logo Placement
Overview
The traditional placement of a logo on a garment is on the left chest, approximately
8" down from the shoulder seam and centered between the placket (neck
opening with buttons) and the sleeve seam.
Garments with pockets normally have the embroidery centered over the pocket
and placed approximately 1/2" above the top of the pocket.
Considering where the embroidery will be placed on the garment/item will aid
you in determining the best size to use. A corporate logo is usually sized
between 2-4" wide and 2-4" high for a garment. This fits extremely
well on a left chest with or without a pocket.
Ball caps are customarily embroidered on the front of the cap. If you are
interested in ball caps or visors, realize the height limitation inherent
in the item. Keep your dimensions under 2" high. The width is less restrictive
at up to 5" wide.
Quick Fact: Embroidery sewn on the right sleeve of a garment will read from back to front.
Location/Placement Options
Multiple locations of embroidery on an item can be very impressive. Be aware
that additional locations of embroidery will increase the price of each garment.
- The right chest can accommodate a design or name/title and for best visual results, will be centered with the logo sewn on the left chest.
- Above the seamed cuff of a short sleeve sports shirt or woven shirt is an excellent choice for a logo or company tag line. Embroidery should always be placed on the left sleeve so it can be read from front to back.
- The back neck of a garment would be an excellent choice as a discreet location for embroidery. A website address is a great idea for that location.
- Names and/or titles can be placed in any of the locations mentioned above.
- The cuff of a long sleeved sports or woven shirt is yet another location to consider. There is a limit to the size of the embroidery, but this location is no longer just for monograms.
- The back of a ball cap is an excellent place for embroidery. With the height limitation on the front of ball caps, many companies choose the cap back for additional embroidery.
