Re: Maximum Width of CAD/CUT Text Across the Chest - Sweats & T-Shirts

Post by Stitch Up »

We've been given a medium sweatshirt with just one line of white text across the chest. The width of the text is just over 35cms and for me, it seems to be too wide. When the shirt is worn the text seems to wrap around to far making it difficult yo read.

Does anyone have any guidelines for the width of text/graphic on the various sized shirts?

Cheers

I'd say 35cm on a Medium is *wayyy* too much. I'm currently wearing an XL with a design 30cm wide and its pretty much most of the chest width area. For a medium I'd say 25cm max with going up 2cm per size (and going down to 21cm for a small).
