Tips for this placement
- Line the name up with the top of the left chest logo so the two read as a pair.
- Keep names to one or two short lines; 0.3–0.5 in capital height reads well across a room.
- Choose a bold, simple font: thin scripts disappear on piqué and twill.

What size is a right chest embroidery design?
A right chest embroidery design is usually 2 to 3.5 inches (50–90 mm) wide. It mirrors the left chest on the wearer's right, at the same height, and is often used for a name, a title or a second, smaller logo.
How big should a name on a shirt be?
Capital letters about 0.3 to 0.5 inches (8–13 mm) tall, with the whole name 2 to 3.5 inches wide. Smaller than about 5 mm, letters start to fill in.
Can I put a logo on both chests?
Yes. A common layout is the company logo on the left chest and the person's name or a second logo on the right, at the same height.
What size should I digitize the design at?
Digitize it at the final size, here about 3 × 1 in, rather than resizing a finished file: the stitches, density and underlay are then calculated for that size.
