If you line up the short side of the piece of paper, you’ll get a good approximation of how your eight and a half inch wide print will look like after we print it on your shirt.

An easy way to visualize a small front logo is by folding the long side of a paper in half. This gives you a good approximation of how a smaller, centered logo will look like when it’s printed on a shirt.

Typically, a good size for a chest print is between 3 and 4 inches wide. If you the wide end of the sheet of paper in half again, you get a 4.25” space, giving you a good visualization of how large your 4” graphic can look. If you fold it in by around an inch, you can compare the 4” with the 3” size to see which works best for you.

If you’re considering a screen printed sleeve graphic, the rule of thumb is around 2 inches wide. By folding your 4.25 inch sheet in half, you’ll have a sheet around 2 inches wide. That’s the exact size of the print we have on this sleeve.

One other way that screen printers approximate measurements is by using their hands. Placing three fingers down on a shirt is around the size of a sleeve print, or two inches wide. Placing four fingers down will give you a width of around 3 inches and five fingers will be around 4 inches, giving you the rough size of a chest print.

Similar to shopping for anything online, your only resources before deciding the base material for your print will be pictures and product descriptions. Although these are accurate, there’s always the chance that you receive the product and it doesn’t fit how you expected it, or it doesn’t feel like how you hoped it would.

To help you save time and money, B2B Signs and Prints can help you sample the shirts you’re interested in prior to deciding the base material for your project. Our customers are welcome to come and visit B2B Signs and Prints display rack in order to feel and try multiple products in person. If you’d like to try a product that we don’t have among our samples, we can order a sample at essentially no cost.

When a customer finds a shirt they like, they can either drop by our office to try multiple styles, or they can request a sample. After requesting a sample, B2B Signs and Prints can send our customers a blank sample shirt for a customer to evaluate the feel and fit. Although there’s a charge for the shirt, if a customer chooses to move forward with a larger job, B2B Signs and Prints will credit the cost of the sample in the job, essentially giving you a free sample shirt.
