| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Embroidery | 3.5" wide is standard; small text needs at least about 0.25" (6 mm) letter height to stay readable. Hoop in a small hoop with backing — hoops, backing. |
| DTF transfer | 3.5–4" wide; press at the same spot as embroidery. Full chart: DTF transfer size chart. |
| Screen printing | Usually 3–4" wide; use a left-chest platen or pallet and register to the collar. |
A HoopMaster hooping station with fixtures puts every left-chest logo in the same spot on every size. Magnetic Mighty Hoops clamp polos and performance shirts without hoop burn — see magnetic vs traditional hoops.

About 3–4" wide and up to about 4" tall for adults; 3.5" wide is the most common embroidery size.
Top of the logo about 7–9" below the high point of the shoulder, centered about 4" from the center of the shirt on the wearer's left side.
About 3–3.5" wide, with the top of the logo level with the second button.
Measure down from where the shoulder seam meets the collar to the top of the logo, then across from the center of the shirt to the center of the logo.
No — it is on the wearer's left, so it appears on the right side as you face the shirt.
About 2.5–3" wide, placed a little higher — roughly 5–7" below the shoulder.
