Maximizing the potential of custom apparel often comes down to the details—like where your designs are placed. Apparel decorators can significantly increase the perceived value of products by utilizing unique placements, such as on the sleeves and legs of garments. These non-traditional areas are growing in popularity, offering customers personalized designs that stand out. Here’s how you can elevate your custom apparel business through leg and sleeve placements.
The Power of Leg and Sleeve Placements
While chest logos and back prints are popular choices, many consumers are looking for something more personalized and unique. Decorating the sleeves and legs of garments adds a layer of customization that is hard to overlook. These placements provide a larger canvas for creativity, especially for brands, teams, or organizations wanting to make a statement.
Leg and sleeve designs offer prime real estate for logos, slogans, and themed graphics. With the right design, a unique placement can turn a standard T-shirt or hoodie into a high-value, custom piece of apparel.
