Each company defines its own product zones and includes these in their specifications as there is no industry standard. The highest priority zone (could be identified as Zone 1, Zone A, or Zone 1) is usually identified as the area that will most likely been seen during a face-to-face conversation, whereas the inside of a garment is not as critical in terms of acceptable defects.
