Transfer Placements Crafters Are Testing in January
When designs feel stale, many crafters are changing placement before changing artwork. January is all about subtle placement shifts that refresh familiar designs.
These are the placements trending on presses right now.
Small Chest and Pocket-Size Prints
Minimal front placements are being tested heavily. They feel wearable and professional without committing to oversized graphics.
Why it works: less ink, easier alignment, broader appeal.
Make your own with our favorite Gilden Hoodie and transfer.
Left or Right Chest Instead of Center
Off-center placements feel intentional and modern. They also make text-based designs feel less generic.
Why it works: adds interest without new artwork.
Try it out with a Comfort Colors Boxy Tee and a transfer.
Oversized Back Prints With Clean Fronts
Crafters are pairing subtle front text with larger back designs for balance.
Why it works: creates visual impact while keeping the front wearable.
Get this look with the American Apparel Mockneck Tee and our original transfers.
Lower Front Placements
Designs placed slightly lower than standard chest height are being tested for hoodies and relaxed tees.
Why it works: avoids collars and seams, presses cleaner.
January is the month to experiment with placement. A small shift can make an old design feel brand new.
