As one of the China’s leading safety helmet manufacturers since 2009, we would like to share how to customize the logo for safety helmets. The logo custom is common to enhance corporate brand, identify identity, and increase safety awareness. Here are some key information on customizing safety helmet logos:
1. Methods to Add logo
Screen Printing
The printing is of vibrant color and durable with good abrasion resistance. So the logo won’t fade easily. More importantly, it is more costs effective than other methods. So it would be most cost effective when the order quantity for the rescue or mining helmet is high. But screen printing for safety helmet is not suitable for complex multi-color or gradient patterns. And it asks for high printing tool costs.
Heat transfer printing
It’s a choice for complex patterns with gradient colors, and multi-color printing. Heat transfer printing would be the best proposal for small batches or personalized customization on hard hats, although the unit printing costs could be much higher than screen printing. However, there may be fading or cracking with high temperatures or long-term use.
Reflective printing
Printing the logo with reflective inks is a great way to enhance visibility in low-light environments.
It can enhance safety for workers at night, but there is limited color options for printing. And the printing costs could be much higher.
Custom Sticker
For small order quantity, we may use durable sticker printing for logos. It could be more flexible and convenient, allowing for the logo to be changed or updated at any time. But stickers could be of poorer durability, which could peel off or get damaged with long-term use.
Molded Logo
Under the brim of the hard hat, we can have the logo molded there. In this way, the logo would be durable. But the manufacturing could get complicated and need long production time. It tends to be more favourable when order quantity is good.
Logo Position
Front Center: It is easier to recognize, suitable for company logos or project names.
On both sides: Company logos and employee numbers can be printed on each side, suitable for occasions that require more information to be displayed.
Back section: Suitable for displaying company names, websites, or slogans, ideal for occasions that emphasize corporate culture or safety slogans.
Under the brim: The logo can be molded under the brim. But the logo must be as simple as possible and not too large.
Logo Style
Simple and Clear: The logo for a hard hat is usually simple and easily recognizable, as the printing area is limited. It shall avoid complex patterns and emphasize clarity and readability.
Color contrast: It is usually recommended to use colors that strongly contrast with the main color of the helmet, ensuring clear recognition from a distance. For example, black or dark logos are commonly used on white safety helmets, while dark blue, black, or red logos are used on yellow safety helmets.
Exclusive logos: Some businesses or projects may require customized exclusive logos (such as employee numbers, department identifiers, etc.), and specific graphics or text can be designed for this purpose.
Material Requirements
Safety helmets are exposed to sunlight outdoors for the long term, so the printing materials shall be UV resistant in case of fading or peeling. And the printing materials shall have good wear resistance to prevent it from falling off or fading due to friction. For businesses that need to meet environmental standards, they can choose to use eco-friendly inks to ensure that the customization process has minimal influence on the environment.
All in all, customizing the logo on safety helmets is not only for aesthetic purposes but also for enhancing the corporate brand, strengthening employees’ sense of belonging, and helping the quick identification of employees’ identities. By choosing the appropriate printing techniques and logo styles, companies can achieve high-quality customization of helmet logos, ensuring durability and visual appeal meanwhile.
