Why Heat Transfer Sizing Matters
Choosing the right heat transfer size isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality and customer satisfaction. The size of your heat transfer depends on two key factors:
1. The size of the t-shirt (infant, youth, adult).2. The placement of your design (left chest, full front, back).

Placement Tips for Professional Results
Proper placement is just as important as sizing. Here are some popular placement options and tips for achieving a polished look:
1. Left Chest
Perfect for logos, monograms, and small designs. Position the design about 3-4 inches below the collar seam and center it between the shirt’s side seam and neckline.
2. Across Chest
Ideal for bold text or statement designs. Center the design horizontally and place it about 3 inches below the collar seam for adult shirts.
3. Full Front
Great for larger graphics or artistic designs. Align the top of the design about 3 inches below the collar seam and ensure it’s vertically centered.
4. Oversized Back
Perfect for dramatic, attention-grabbing designs. Center the design on the back of the shirt, starting about 4 inches below the neckline.
