The Embroidery Placement Guide for T-Shirts
Embroidered company logos and other designs have traditionally been placed on garments such as polos and T-shirts on the left chest of the shirt, above the seamed sleeve cuff and at the back of the neck. An embroidery placement guide helps you determine how and where on the shirt the embroidery should be stitched.
