What's Happening in Secunda, Mpumalanga…

The first step to creating great custom T-Shirts is to choose the design. The next step is to decide on the size and placement of the design. You have many choices for design placement, each with its own impact and purpose. Here we explain all of the placements that you can choose from:

Left Chest

This is the best option for event Apparel or employee clothing design. Even a simple design can have a big impact when placed here. The design is usually approximately 7-10cm from the collar.

Center Chest

Another popular choice, this T-shirt features a larger design on the front. This design is typically between 15-25cm wide and 10cm lower than the collar.

Full Front

This placement is used frequently for large detailed prints printed across the front of T-Shirts. This design's exact dimensions and placement are usually 30x35cm and 7cm below the collar. 

Oversized Front

This placement looks a lot like Full Front. However, the design is bigger. The placement is generally slightly higher, about 5cm away from the collar. Sizes can be anywhere between 35-40 cm or even larger. The T-shirt's size will determine the maximum size.

Collar/Small Upper Back

This placement is often used for logos. This small design is placed under the collar of the upper back. The size can vary from 3 cm to 10 cm.

Upper Back

This placement is more prominent than the collar placement, and the design is often extended across the shoulders. This placement is usually between 30-35cm to 10cm below the collar. This place is a great spot to display a logo and event name to draw attention.

Full Back

This timeless Print location is second in popularity to the Full Front. This design can be printed in 30x35 cm or as big as 40cm. The Full Back is an excellent choice for a classic combination when paired with a Left chest.

Sleeves

This Print location is similar in design to the Left Chest, but it is best for simpler artwork. The standard placement for this type of artwork is approximately 2.5cm from your Hem. Depending on the design and preference of the artist, the size may vary from 2-10 cm.
