Back Design for Team Clothing: Ideas and Design Tips
In short
At macherkleidung.de the complete back design on tops is included in the price – so you use the full area of the back for your design at no extra charge. The back design offers room for company name, slogan, contact details, job title or a graphic element. What works well depends heavily on your industry and your image.
What is included with the back print?
For tops (T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, polo shirts, softshell jackets) a complete back design is included in the price. So you have the entire back area available to present your company or your team. This sets macherkleidung.de apart from providers who only supply a small logo on the chest or charge for each print separately. The print size for the back is generous – when you enquire, ask for the exact maximum print dimensions for the respective model.
Classic ideas for the back design
Company name large + slogan underneath: the classic for trades and hospitality – clearly legible from a distance. Contact details: a phone number or website on the back makes sense if your team is often in contact with customers, e.g. on building sites or at events. Job title or department: “Electrician”, “Kitchen”, “Service”, “Security” – helpful for customers who want to quickly find the right person. Graphic + claim: a stylised depiction of your trade or products combined with a strong sentence is attention-grabbing.
Ideas by industry
Trades: tools or job images as a graphic element combined with company name and phone number – easy to read on building sites and practical for new customers. Hospitality and catering: (stylised) product images, a special motif, the year of founding or a striking saying about food and enjoyment. Service and IT: clean typographic design with company name, web address and, if applicable, social media handle – less is often more here. Events and clubs: the event logo, date, place or team name on the back creates a sense of belonging and memorability.
What to keep in mind when designing
Fonts should be easy to read – sans-serif fonts (e.g. in a bold weight) are easier to recognise from a distance than narrow or ornate fonts. Contrast is crucial: a white design on dark fabric or a dark design on light fabric beats any mid-grey. If you combine logos and text, leave enough space between the elements. Upload the design as a vector file so that it can be scaled without loss – otherwise print quality suffers at large formats.
Frequently asked questions
How large can the back design be at most?
The maximum print area depends on the model. Ask for the exact print dimensions for the respective product when you enquire. As a rule, a print area of about 30 × 40 cm is possible on shirts, but this should be confirmed individually.
Can we have different text on the back than on the chest?
Yes. Chest and back can have different designs. Typically the chest carries the company logo and the back a larger design with more information or graphics. Specify both designs when you enquire.
Does the back design also apply to jackets and polo shirts?
Yes, the complete back design is included on all tops: T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, polo shirts and softshell jackets. For caps, beanies and trousers there is one logo at the standard position (front or leg), but no full-area back design.
