Hello In Stitches family!
As with most jobs, there are terms that we use all the time that might be a little confusing to those outside of our business. So, today, let’s talk about a few of those terms and how they can help you with your orders!
And because a picture is worth a thousand words, this dictionary is a picture dictionary!
Left Chest Placement is the standard placement for decoration. This applies to both print and embroidery.
Sometimes there is a brand logo on the left side, so then we suggest using the Right Chest Placement in that case.
In hats, the Left Panel Embroidery is becoming the standard placement for embroidery.
But the Full Front Embroidery (aka Dad Cap) is still very popular!
Whether on a vest or a jacket, this Lower Back Placement looks GREAT! We can do this placement with both print and embroidery.
Notice how this Right Back Shoulder placement makes it so we can put the logo on the back of this jacket with, shall we say, difficult seams.
When Placing a Name on the front of a garment, the name goes on the right side and the logo is on the left.
Vertical Arm Placement can be done with embroidery or print. This example is embroidery.
With Sponsors on Team Jerseys, you can place their logos on top of or below the number, or both like in this case.
Fun fact: Full Back Embroidery usually takes us about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Here are a few more examples:
Fun Fact: American Flag placement is always with the stars forward.
