In the booming world of custom apparel, print-on-demand (POD) has become the go-to solution for creators, businesses, and brands seeking flexibility, speed, and quality. At AllDayShirts.com, we make the process seamless and powerful by offering a range of professional-grade application placements to suit any project or vision.
From left chest logos to full-front graphics and bold full-back prints, our placement options are designed to give your apparel the look, feel, and impact it deserves. In this comprehensive blog, we explore the different application placements available through our print-on-demand services, how each placement works, and when to use them for maximum branding power.
Print-on-demand at AllDayShirts.com allows you to order custom-printed apparel without needing to purchase inventory in advance. Whether you're designing for a business, event, brand launch, or personal use, we print and ship your apparel only when you place an order.
Our POD services are powered by advanced DTF (Direct-to-Film) technology, producing durable, vibrant prints across a variety of garment types and materials.
While design is crucial, placement is what brings your custom apparel to life. Strategic print positioning helps:
Improve visual impact
Enhance brand recognition
Align with garment structure and style
Maintain wearability and comfort
At AllDayShirts.com, we offer three core placement options for print-on-demand: Left Chest, Full Front, and Full Back. Let's break down each.
The left chest placement is a classic and professional option, commonly used for small logos, initials, or brand marks. It sits neatly above the heart on the wearer’s left side.
Typically 3.5" to 4.5" wide, depending on the garment size.
Business uniforms
Polo shirts and button-ups
Staff apparel
Corporate giveaways
School teams or clubs
Clean and understated branding
Ideal for layering under jackets
Subtle but visible logo representation
Use high-resolution vector logos or clean text for the best clarity. Contrast your print color with the garment for readability.
A full-front print is bold, eye-catching, and perfect for designs that need to stand out. It occupies the central chest area and allows for more detailed artwork or text.
Standard size ranges from 10" to 12" wide, scaling with garment size.
Custom merch and branded apparel
Event T-shirts (concerts, charity runs, festivals)
Graphic designs and creative artwork
Statement slogans and campaigns
Maximum visibility
Ideal for creative branding
Suitable for all garment types

Create mockups to check visual balance. Avoid placing key design elements too close to the collar or too far down the torso.
The full-back print covers the upper to mid-back area of the garment. It's ideal for larger graphics, detailed artwork, or informative content such as team names, event sponsors, or tour listings.
Standard width is 10" to 12", similar to full-front prints.
Sports and team apparel
Event shirts with back sponsor listings
Tour or concert merch
Business shirts with contact info on back
Tradeshow and staff wear
Large print space
Leaves front clean for layering
