Printing Techniques on Reflective Vest
Screen printing
Screen printing produces thicker colors with strong adhesion and good wear resistance, suitable for long-term use. For large-volume printing, screen printing is relatively cost-effective, especially for simple patterns or monochrome designs. And screen printing’s ink layer is thicker, with rich and vibrant colors, providing excellent visual effects. But screen printing is not suitable for printing high-precision complex patterns or gradual color changes. A screen printing tool needs to be made, which incurs higher upfront costs. If it is a small batch for customization, the cost is higher. Because a screen printing tool is required, the preparation time before printing is longer, and each color needs to be printed separately, making the process relatively complicated.
Heat transfer printing
Heat transfer printing can accurately reproduce complex patterns with gradual color changes and high color fidelity. It does not require a high-cost screen printing tool, suitable for small-batch or one-off customization. So it can meet different printing demands. Just heat the heat transfer machine to complete the printing. The printing process is quite simple and suitable for quick production. But heat transfer printing patterns may peel, fade, or crack over time easily than screen printing, especially when subjected to frequent washing and friction. Besides, the unit printing cost is higher, especially when large-volume printing is involved.
Reflective material for printing
Reflective printing is a method that utilizes reflective materials or inks to make logos visible in low light conditions. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of reflective Logo printing.
Reflective Logos are highly visible at nighttime , making them particularly suitable for applications in traffic management, construction sites, security personnel, etc.. This can enhance the wearer’s safety. On top of that, it is a combination of beauty and function. Reflective materials produce strong reflective effects under light, making Logos more noticeable for brand promotion. And the reflective effects can add a sense of technology or fashion to Logos. Moreover, reflective inks and materials generally have good wear resistance and water resistance. And they can maintain their reflective properties with proper care to extend the service life of logos.
However, reflective materials are more expensive than regular inks and fabrics, especially high-quality reflective materials (such as 3M brand reflective materials).
Logo Position
Chest: eye-catching and easy to see, suitable for smaller Logo.
Back: larger area, suitable for displaying larger or more complex Logo, to increase brand recognition.
Logo Color
- Choose a contrasting color from the vest color to enhance visibility.
- Choose reflective logo materials to make them more noticeable in low light.
To sum up, we shall figure out a proper printing proposal first according to the budget and target for the reflective vest purchasing.
