Master the 4-Placement System That Creates Movie-Quality Results

The Strategic Placement Formula:

1. Front Chest Print - The Hero Logo

The foundation: Every superhero needs their symbol prominently displayed. Pro technique: Use the collar as your center marker for perfect alignment. The result: Instant brand recognition that drives sales.

2. Upper Back Print - The Power Statement

The positioning: Just below the neckline for maximum visibility. Why it works: Back graphics are seen by everyone around the wearer. The profit boost: Large back prints command higher prices.

3. Sleeve Print - The Detail That Sells

The wow factor: Sleeve graphics show attention to detail customers notice. Pro setup: Use sleeve creases as center markers for consistent placement. The business impact: Professional finishing that justifies premium pricing.

4. Custom Neck Label - The Signature Touch

The game-changer: Replace manufacturer labels with your custom branding. Why it matters: Creates authentic "official merchandise" feel. The profit multiplier: Customers pay more for "branded" items.

Gang Sheet Efficiency: More Profit Per Press

A3 size gang sheets let you:

  • Press multiple designs in one cycle
  • Reduce setup time between placements
  • Increase profit margins through efficiency
  • Handle larger orders with ease

The math: Same press time, 4x the design impact, 2x the profit per shirt.

Perfect Timing: Movie Premieres = Profit Spikes

Superman premiere strategy:

  • Pre-launch buildup: Tease designs on social media
  • Opening week push: Capitalize on movie excitement
  • Extended campaign: Ride the wave for weeks after

The pattern repeats: Every superhero movie is a new profit opportunity.
