Screen Printing Sizing and Placement Guides
Sizing shown is approximate and will vary in appearance depending on size, style and brand of garment. Adult mock ups represent a standard unisex M/L t-shirt.
QUICK REFERENCE SHEET
• Standard Print Width is 11″ wide and not taller than 16″. This applies to Front and Back.
• Hoodie Backs are 6″ from the collar to accommodate the hood which is approximately 8 fingers.
• Hoodie Fronts can be no taller than 10″ due to pocket.
• If Ladies or Youth sizes are involved, the print will need to be 10″ wide or less and 12” tall or less for kids.
• Distance from the collar is 2.5″ on all crewnecks which is approximately 4 fingers. V-Necks are 1.5″ from collar and approximately 2 fingers width.
• Left/Right Chest is 3.5″ wide and is 2.5″ from the bottom of the collar. Logo should be centered between the center of the chest and shoulder.
• Short sleeve is 2.5″ wide; 3″ wide and no taller than 11″ on long sleeves.
• Center all Artwork, unless the artwork is off balanced – then center it to the center mass of the artwork.
You usually want to center things at their widest point, but sometimes that can cause issues. For example, the state of Indiana is mostly rectangular, but has an irregular shape on it’s left side. If we centered it at it’s widest point, that would mean most of the shape would be on the right side, which looks off centered. So instead, we make sure that each side has a close to equal amount of the shape to make it look balanced.
Due to the fact we use human employees and we are printing on a movable, stretchable surface, the print could be slightly shifted up to a half inch (.5”) in any direction.
