For example a pen will usually have a small rectangular branding area and a tote bag will have a larger square shape available.
So how do you get your logo looking amazing across a wide range of different products while still maintaining a cohesive brand image?

What is decoration area on promotional products?
Like the name suggests the decoration area is the spot in which your logo is printed or decorated.
The maximum decoration area denotes the largest possible size available for decoration. It is usually constrained by the limitations of the decorating machine or dimensions of the product.
Typically when decorating on promotional products you want to have your logo displayed as large as possible, giving it maximum exposure and ensuring it’s highly visible.
This means as a general rule you should aim to take up as much space as possible and ensure all relevant information is legible.

How do I know what the maximum decoration area is?
With every order of promotional products, you will receive a free virtual proof that displays the decoration area and how your logo will look on the finished product.
The maximum decoration area is also listed on each individual product page. As you can see different decoration methods have different possible maximum decoration areas, so this may play a role in the decision about what decoration method to choose.
