Default What is the average size for a upper left/right chest logo?

I'm considering a job where a customer wants a left/right front chest/breast logo. What is the average size of this print and how do you get the correct location? This is only my second job and the first was just a full back print. Any help would be appreciated.
Brandon

The average size is somewhere between 3" x 3" and 4" x 4", but if the image is taller it can go longer nowadays.

Generally the print starts approx 1-2" left of center on the shirt and is centered around the same height as the armpit of the shirt. Larger shirts may need the image fartehr to the left.

One trick is to tape a print out of the logo onto a shirt you are actually wearing in the spot you think it should be on you, "measure' it out somehow, then adjust for different sizes just a bit. then just align each shirt on the platen to acheive that location.

I usually do mine about 3.5" x 3.5". That size fits nice on a koozie too, so if i've got time and want to impress the customer, you can throw in a free koozie to market that item, as well.
