Where should your embroidery go?
Compare logo positions for polos, hats, hoodies, and jackets. Use this guide to plan the look, then we will confirm the design size and sewable space on your chosen garment.
Placement positions at a glance.
| Position | Typical Size | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left chest | 3-4" wide | Company logos, monograms | Most popular business placement |
| Right chest | 3-4" wide | Name/title, secondary logo | Pairs with left chest logo |
| Center chest | 8-10" wide | Large logos, event designs | Bold statement, visible from distance |
| Full back | Sized to the garment | Team names, large designs | Check seams, lining, and available sewable area |
| Upper back (yoke) | Wide, shallow design | Company name, website | Keep clear of seams, collars, and hoods |
| Left sleeve | 3-4" wide | Flag, secondary logo | Adds detail to uniforms |
| Right sleeve | 3-4" wide | Certification badges | Functional placement |
| Cap front | Low, wide design | Primary logo | Size depends on the cap panel and construction |
| Cap side/back | Small, simple design | Website, small logo | Check panel space, seams, and closures |
The measurements above are starting points, not guaranteed limits for every style or size. Fine lettering and narrow details can change the space a logo needs; the embroidery artwork guide explains what to check.
Position details.
A familiar position for company polos, button-downs, hoodies, and jackets. Logos often start around 3-4 inches wide. We balance the design with the placket, seams, garment size, and any pocket rather than use one fixed distance from the shoulder for every piece.
Cap panels have less usable height than many apparel placements. The crown shape, seams, and cap construction affect the available area. A compact logo with clear lettering is a useful starting point. We confirm its size and prepare the file for the selected cap.
A prominent position for team names or larger company logos on jackets and hoodies. We check the garment's seams, lining, hood, and available sewable area before confirming the design size. Placement, size, and quantity determine the embroidery rate in your quote.
A left-chest logo plus sleeve or back embroidery uses more than one position. Each placement is priced separately at the rate for its size and your quantity, with any new-file digitizing shown in the quote. We will break down the options so you can compare them.
What works best by use case.
Planning staff uniforms or a team order? Our company-logo embroidery service covers garment sourcing, sizing, samples, and reorders.
We'll recommend the best placement.
We stitch a sample of your logo first and send you photos, so you can check the size and placement on the real garment before we sew the rest.
