Since I went through this entire area, I didn't see where the standard sizes are. When a customer wants the front of a shirt done, what is the standard size print? Not talking pocket print (I know that one) Also what is the size for the back? Thanks. I know I have the info somewhere, but don't know where I put it after the move!  |

Jenn,
I have been using a standard 8" wide by 10" height format, and try to fit my fonts and graphics into that area, thats on large and xl shirts, you can inch upward or backward from there. don't be afraid to experiment.

Hi Jenn,
I agree with Primal about experimenting but there are some "industry specs" :
Left Chest = 4"
Full Front / Full Back = 12"
Short Sleeve = 4"
Long Sleeve = 12"
Leg = 14"
Sometimes 12" wide is too big for the front...I have actually had customers request 10" wide.
Hope that helps!

Generally standard transfers are normally a max size of 12"x12" (slightly less actually), but I'd say a 10" width is more of the standard and the height is pretty variable, but I'd say normally approximately 6-8" tall is common.

Great info, everyone!
Is there a standard on how to position the graphics on the shirts as well? I would guess full fronts and backs would center horizontally, but how far up/down?
How about locations for small logos on the right sides of shirts?
Thanks!

Cool! I like that. Any chance you got it from somewhere in a pdf format that you can link us too? Just want to put it up in the shop for reference and am too lazy to retype it.  |

There is a faint "inkjetgarmentprinters.com" watermark...I'd love to have a copy of it too, but can't find it on that site yet. |

You can use a ruler to measure and spend the extra time for each shirt if it suits you. General rule of thumb for a full front print is 3 fingers down from the bottom of the collar. Your best bet is find what is right for you and your shop and you must have your screen room on the ball. All artwork should be burned in the same spot every time ie... top of image is 6" down from the bottom of the screen frame. This way when you load your shirts in the same spot all the time then its always right on. Speed is the key and pre press is always where the most time can be saved.
