Plan information hierarchy

Team logo, team name, player number and individual name should be placed as a hierarchy. Chest, back, sleeve and short-leg positions offer different space and visibility.

Select a suitable method

Heat transfer can suit numbers, names and detailed artwork. Screen printing can suit simple larger graphics. Embroidery offers a raised finish. The best option depends on fabric, artwork and intended use.

Avoid pre-production errors

Use one final checked sheet for names, numbers, sizes and quantities. Late changes can affect the production schedule, so designate one contact person to approve the data.
