Full-zip or quarter-zip?
A full-zip hoodie opens all the way and layers easily over training kit or a work shirt, which is why clubs and staff teams choose it. A quarter-zip pulls on over the head with a short zip at the neck and a cleaner front, popular with coaches, golf and corporate teams. Both take the same decoration and come in the same fleece weights.
- Full-zip: easy layering, the club and staff favourite
- Quarter-zip: clean front, smart enough for corporate wear
- Both in unisex and fitted women’s cuts
Where the design goes on a zip hoodie
A print cannot cross the zip, so on a full-zip hoodie the chest logo sits on one side of the zip, or is split neatly across both, and the main design and any names go on the back, where there is a clean panel. On a quarter-zip the whole chest is free below the zip. Every position is shown on a digital mockup before production.
Personalised names and numbers
Each zip hoodie in an order can carry its own name, initials or number, printed or embroidered, from the list you send against sizes. Clubs use it for players and coaches, companies for staff names, and leavers for the year group list across the back.
Who orders personalised zip hoodies
Sports clubs order full-zip hoodies for players, coaches and parents, often matched with joggers cut from the same fleece. Companies choose quarter-zips for client-facing staff and full-zips for warehouse and field teams. Schools and leavers groups pick a full-zip with names across the back, and brands use zip hoodies as a second style beside a pullover in the same colours.
Embroidered or printed
An embroidered chest logo suits a zip hoodie well because it sits flat beside the zip and lasts through washing. Large back designs, full-colour artwork and photos are printed with screen print or DTF. Many orders combine an embroidered chest logo with a printed back.
