Left Chest Digitizing is probably the most common type of digitizing order one places/receives. The name is pretty straightforward and sums up where your design will be placed; the left chest side of your clothing. Picking the right font size and colours should be a priority.

Adding a left chest badge/embroidery is a great marketing technique! A well-executed stand-out design can do wonders for brand visibility and recognition.

You can trust us with delivering top quality digitizing as we do test sew-outs of every order so you know how it turns out without any trial and error on your part!

 

Top 3 Things to know about Left Chest Digitizing:

Now that we know what a left chest design can do, let’s delve further into some important things to remember and implement while placing a left chest order:

 

  1. Try keeping your design small from the beginning. The more intricate your design is, the harder it will be to see it clearly. Say, I have a rugby team’s logo and it’s inscribed with a Latin quote in extremely small text; it will crowd the design and also be unreadable! Since the highest you can go on a left chest is 4.25”, it’s best to keep it small and aesthetic.
  2. You need to know what type of fabric works with embroidery. Left Chest Embroidery looks fabulous on denim, jackets and most knitwear but doesn’t perform well on light or sporting fabrics. What usually happens is, initially, it looks great; but with certain wear and tear, the logo’s surrounding area gathers around it and makes it look permanently disheveled. You wouldn’t want that for your sporting goods.
  3. Placement matters a lot! It’s important to know the placement of your design on your garment. Here are a few pointers:
  • Jackets: 3.5″ to 4″ from center’s edge and 6″ to 8″ from the seam of the left shoulder.
  • Polos: 7.5″ to 9″ from the shoulder’s left seam and 4″ to 6″ from the center, in line with the collar meeting the shoulder seam.
  • Sweatshirts: Top of the design 3″ to 3.5″ from the bottom of neck’s edging.
  • T-shirts: 7.5″ to 9″ from the shoulder’s left seam and 4″ to 6″ from the center.

 

These can be tweaked a little bit depending on the shape and size of your design.
