AllDayShirts.com Print-on-Demand: Mastering Custom Apparel with the Right Application Placement

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.


What Is Print-on-Demand at AllDayShirts.com?

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.


Why Application Placement Matters

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.


1. Left Chest Placement

Overview

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.

Dimensions

Typically 3.5" to 4.5" wide, depending on the garment size.

Best For:

  • Business uniforms

  • Polo shirts and button-ups

  • Staff apparel

  • Corporate giveaways

  • School teams or clubs

Advantages:

  • Clean and understated branding

  • Ideal for layering under jackets

  • Subtle but visible logo representation

Design Tips:

Use high-resolution vector logos or clean text for the best clarity. Contrast your print color with the garment for readability.


2. Full Front Placement

Overview

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.

Dimensions

Standard size ranges from 10" to 12" wide, scaling with garment size.

Best For:

  • Custom merch and branded apparel

  • Event T-shirts (concerts, charity runs, festivals)

  • Graphic designs and creative artwork

  • Statement slogans and campaigns

Advantages:

  • Maximum visibility

  • Ideal for creative branding

  • Suitable for all garment types

Popular Product Matches:

Design Tips:

Create mockups to check visual balance. Avoid placing key design elements too close to the collar or too far down the torso.


3. Full Back Placement

Overview

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.

Dimensions

Standard width is 10" to 12", similar to full-front prints.

Best For:

  • Sports and team apparel

  • Event shirts with back sponsor listings

  • Tour or concert merch

  • Business shirts with contact info on back

Break up text and logos into sections for clarity. Avoid placing key elements too close to the hem.
