The Art of Printing Logos on Shirts
Printing logos on shirts is more than just a branding activity—it’s an art that has evolved over time through careful experimentation and innovation. At Scream Print, we specialise in bringing your brand to life through expertly placed and vibrantly printed logos on a variety of apparel. Whether you’re looking for a simple logo on a t-shirt or a full branding suite across multiple items, we ensure that your logo stands out and makes a lasting impression.
Standard Logo Placement for Maximum Visibility
The placement of your logo is crucial for achieving the desired impact. The most effective and commonly used position is the Left Hand Chest (LHC), just above the pocket or where a pocket would traditionally be. This placement has been shown to offer the best visual impact and brand recognition.
But why limit your branding to just one area? Consider adding extra branding to:
- Sleeves: Ideal for sponsors or secondary branding elements.
- Back: Perfect for including additional company details, such as your website, phone number, or a slogan.
Our team can advise you on the best options for your specific needs, ensuring that the logo size, colour, and positioning are perfectly suited to your chosen apparel.
Customisation Options for Your Logo Printing
At Scream Print, we understand that each brand is unique, which is why we offer a range of customisation options for your t-shirt logo printing. Whether you’re attending a trade show, meeting clients for the first time, or outfitting your team, we can help you choose the best setup for your needs:
- Left Hand Chest (LHC): The standard and most effective placement for logos.
- Right Hand Chest (RHC): Ideal for adding individual names, particularly useful for events and trade shows.
- Sleeves and Back: Additional branding locations to enhance visibility.

Attention to Detail in Logo Placement and Colour
The placement of your logo requires careful consideration, especially when dealing with different types of apparel. Factors such as men’s or women’s clothing, clothing sizes, and placket positions all play a role in how your logo should be positioned. Our team pays close attention to these details, ensuring that your logo is optimally placed for the best visual impact.
Additionally, we can adjust logo colours to ensure they contrast well with the chosen apparel. We provide mock-ups of different colour combinations, allowing you to make an informed decision before finalising the design.
