Logo Placement - Embroidery News 17

Correct Logo Placement:

Worried that your embroidered logo won't be correctly placed on your shirts? Most embroiderers follow a standard placement for left chest logos depending on the size, style and whether the shirt is for a man or woman. What happens if the shirt is a unisex style to be worn both either sex? Then the ladies placement (higher and closer to the center of the shirt) is used.

Is it okay to have a right chest logo placement rather than left chest? Yes, some customers prefer that although 99% of our customers choose the left chest placement even if the shirt has a left chest pocket. Why might you choose a right chest placement? If your shirt style has a pocket, your logo is "tall" (the length is the longest measurement) or your employees carry items in their pockets that might cover up a logo then a right chest logo placement may be your best option.

Can a logo be embroidered on a pocket? Usually there isn't enough room on the underside of the pocket for the logo to be embroidered on the pocket unless the pocket is removed from the shirt, embroidered then sewn back on the shirt.

What about placement on ladies tank tops and other T-shirt styles? If there is limited space in the area between the arm opening and the shirt's center then the logo placement may be lower than normal.

What if you have an unusual body shape and you want to be certain your logo is placed in a particular spot? Make arrangements with your embroiderer to try on the shirt ahead of time and use a piece of masking tape to mark the center of the design.

The Embroidery Process:

How is a first time embroidery order processed?

The embroiderer collects all the information needed to process the order including the details about the design, garments and due date
The embroidery set-up is completed and sent to the customer
The customer approves the design or suggests changes
The garments are ordered, checked in and organized for the embroidery process
The order is embroidered on an embroidery machine
Garments are trimmed, steamed and folded
Garments are organized by style, color and size
Garments are counted and packed in a box
If the item is to be shipped a label is prepared and tracking information is sent to the buyer.

How are Garments Stabilized For Embroidery?

Garments such as shirts, jackets and sweatshirts are hooped prior to the embroidery process. Hooping items secures the fabric so it doesn't move while being embroidered. Most small embroidered designs like left chest logos are hooped in a circular hoop which keeps the fabric tension consistent from the center of the hoop to the edge of the design. Keeping the tension consistent helps produce a design that embroiders well and looks good.

Can You Make It Smaller?

Often customers send artwork that's larger than the size of a typical left chest logo. Sometimes the artwork will size down to the required size but occasionally some of the smaller design elements must be increased in size so they are proportionally larger than their original size. Or, sometimes its best to eliminate small elements and simplify the design.
