Default Re: printing on pocket question

It's really a matter of customer preference where you print....on the pocket or above.

It is best to put a small piece of mouse pad (slightly larger than your design) in the pocket so that the area you are pressing is raised. Otherwise, the pocket stitching will cause the printed area to me somewhat concave.

Keep in mind that this also means that the print area on the pocket is smaller than the pocket itself.
