Safety Vests - Imprint FAQ'S

At this time we can print a wide variety of designs on a safety vests; however, we are pretty much limited to solid colors only. That is, we cannot do a blended color print on the vests. We can print text, designs, and up to 4 colors on the safety vests.  We require the customer to supply camera ready artwork for any custom logo.

Camera-ready artwork is a crisp and unblemished image of the logo to be printed on the safety vest. Black images on white or clear (transparent) background will work the best. We can specify the color with the Pantone number (described below). Most camera-ready artwork comes in a .eps or .ai format with 300 dpi or better. We can accept .jpegs, .bmp, and other formats; however, they may not be camera ready and/or need additional time to set up the logo.

A logo with two or more colors will work best if your artwork separates the colors so that they are not touching one another. At this time, we cannot print a blended color design. Only logo's with solid colors can be imprinted.

Photocopy, letter head, business card, faxes, decals, stickers, etc. If you have an image that is blurry, has jagged lines, or blemishes, the copy on the safety vests would look even worse.

.TIF, .BMP, .EPS, .AI, .PDF, .JPG, .PSD, Word files, and CDR formats. The .EPS, and .AI files tend to work the best since they are vectored files. Keep in mind they need to be native formats and not just re-saved under another extension.

Check with the printer who printed your letterhead, business cards, etc., they can normally provide camera-ready artwork. We can generally use other artwork that is not necessarily camera ready; however, extra charges for graphics editing may be applied. If you still can't track down a useable logo, we would suggest having a graphics company design or re-design the company logo.

At this time, we are not able to design a logo for you; however, we can generate simple text logo's. You might specify what font you would like and we can blow it up to fit the area of the vest. Most of the time, a simple Word document would work fine if you would like to e-mail it over.

We will attempt to color match each logo as requested. Please provide a specific PMS (PANTONE Matching System) number/color when submitting the order. If you do not know the PMS color code(s) for your logo, we recommend that you consult a graphic artist in your area who has access to a PMS Color Guide. Color guides are available online, but you must keep in mind that every monitor shows color differently and these should only be used as a rough estimate. Click Here for Pantone Chart. Keep in mind that not all colors are available with the printer; however, we should be able to make a close match.

This will reduce the number of colors used in the pad print process; hence, saving you a set up charge. Basically, it will leave a "see through" in the logo showing the color of the vest.

Yes. The color mix and sizes will be considered in calculating the unit price break.  Note: The logo, configuration, and print colors must be the same on every safety vest. Otherwise, we will have to set up two distinct logo's.

The first step is to get the design over to us by e-mail, standard mail, UPS, etc. Please specify the type of vest, color of vests, total number of vests to be printed, location of the logo, and the Pantone numbers for any colors in the logo. Or, if you like we have an online order/bid form that you can complete. Click Here

The minimum order on the printed safety vests is 24.  Keep in mind that the set up charges will be the same no matter how many hats you order. So, the cost per unit is much higher with smaller orders.

Yes. A proof sheet will be faxed over for your approval before we start printing. This will show the Pantone number and the approximate size for the image on the vest. Some proofs can be sent by e-mail; however, it might take a little longer to do so.

We can print the same logo on the sides of the vests since they are the same. That is, the left side and the right side logo will only have one set up charge. The back logo will need separate plates due to the different printing window, so they would need a set up charge for each.

In order to print on the safety vests, there are two separate charges. The set up charge, which is a one time charge in order to build the plates. And secondly, there is an imprint charge.  This is the cost to actually stamp the vests. Click here for the updated prices.

Typically, it takes about 3-4 weeks for printing. If the logo is camera-ready that can speed up the process. Once the order has been placed and the logo sent to us in an acceptable format, we will process the order and send a final proof. That generally takes about a week. Once approved by the customer, the hats are generally printed within 7-14 days. Then of course, add any shipping time to your location.
