Short answer: Map each proposed print location against the actual hood, pocket, zipper and seams. Specify artwork dimensions and position references, then check the design across the selected sizes with the hood resting naturally. Ask ANCO to review the application surface before approving the proof.

Map the features at each location
| Location | Inspect | Confirm on the proof |
|---|---|---|
| Front | Pocket top, seams, zipper and available space | Artwork width/height and position relative to identified features |
| Back | Where the hood rests and what it covers | Visible message with the hood down; position reference |
| Sleeve | Seams, cuffs, curvature and the intended wearing position | Side, orientation, artwork dimensions and feasibility |
| Across sizes | Smallest garment in each adult/youth or fit family | Which garment rows use each approved artwork variant |
The SS4500 manufacturer sheet illustrates how a named hoodie includes specific hood and ribbed construction. Use the actual proposed style's details rather than assuming every hoodie shares the same usable space. The example does not confirm ANCO inventory.
Keep visibility and application as separate checks
A location can look good and still need technical review. Raised seams and closures affect an even pressing surface, as explained in STAHLS' application guidance. Moving artwork in a mockup does not establish the final application setup or approval.
- Identify the exact style, colour and sizes before fixing the layout.
- Show each proposed location on a reference image and label it as a proposal.
- Record artwork width and height with units, excluding unintended blank margins.
- Check the hood down, the pocket boundary and any zipper near the design.
- Ask ANCO to review suitability and confirm any separate artwork-size versions.
- Approve the revised proof only after dimensions and garment assignments are clear.

Illustrative example · Not a documented customer order
A team places its name high on a generic back mockup. On the selected hoodie reference, the resting hood overlaps part of the name. The coordinator asks for a revised position, checks the appearance with the hood down and records the proposed dimensions.
The front logo is reviewed separately above the actual pocket on the smallest selected garment. Neither the back adjustment nor the front fit is assumed to work across every size until ANCO has reviewed the style and artwork.
Keep every location in the quote scope
- List front, back and sleeve requests separately.
- Attach an artwork version to each location.
- State which details must stay visible during normal wear.
- Record approved position references rather than relying only on a screenshot.
- Ask about the effect of added locations or variants before approving the order.
