Ningbo Toprise Security Products Co., Ltd., as a company with 20 years of experience in exporting safety shoes, is dedicated to providing effective foot protection to customers worldwide. Our safety shoes are manufactured in strict accordance with CE standards for international markets. The blog today is related to logo custom on safety shoes for better brand awareness. Here are some important information on customizing logos for work safety shoes.
Methods to Add Logo
Silk Screen Printing
Screen printing is durable and the most costs effective way for simple patterns or monochrome designs for large-scale production. However, it is not suitable for printing complex patterns or gradient colors.
Heat transfer printing
The printing is suitable for intricate patterns with complex colors (multi-color or gradient color). It’s especially suitable for small batch customization. However, the durability is relatively poor, and the patterns may fade or wear off after frequent friction or washing.
Drop plastic label
It is achieved by applying a layer of transparent, translucent, or colored polyurethane or epoxy resin over the surface of specific patterns or text. The drop plastic label has a strong three-dimensional effect.
The label has a smooth and shiny surface, giving a sense of enhanced texture. With the resin layer covering the surface, the labels have strong abrasion resistance, impact resistance, and waterproof properties, allowing them to maintain a good appearance in harsh working environments without easily wearing out or fading.
The resin layer of the drop plastic label has waterproof and dust-proof effects, making it very suitable for use on safety shoes that require durability and cleanliness. The materials used for drop plastic labels generally possess a certain level of chemical resistance.
So the labels maintain well on safety shoes in special industries such as chemicals, mining and construction sites. Plastic drop labels can achieve a variety of color combinations full of strong visual impacts. The craft is suitable for simple patterns and text, brand logos, and safety signs (such as CE, ISO).
However, the cost of the drop plastic label is higher compared to regular printing, especially in small batch production, where the production costs become more apparent. And complex patterns may not perform well in terms of three-dimensional effects. The drop plastic label requires longer production time than that of regular printing. So it’s not suggested for urgent orders.
Woven labels
Woven labels are usually of high durability and texture. We use the textile technology to directly weave the logo into a label, resistant to fading, discoloration, or damage. It is suitable for safety shoes in harsh environments.
Compared to regular printing or heat transfer printing, woven labels have a certain level of 3D effects and thickness. The craft is more suitable for mid to high-end safety shoes.
Woven labels can present bright colors and a high visual effect through the interweaving of various yarn colors. Most woven labels use eco-friendly yarns for environmental protection and sustainability. So it would be a perfect choice for brands that emphasize corporate social responsibility.
There are usually three types of woven labels:
Flat woven labels have a smooth surface and offer high clarity of intricate patterns and small text. However, the three-dimensional effect is relatively weak. Jacquard woven labels is of better three-dimensional effects with a strong texture and sense of depth. They are suitable for relatively simple logos.
Jacquard woven labels are highly durable and ideal for high-end safety shoes. However, it is not suitable for complex details in patterns or text.
High-density woven labels use high-density yarns to achieve greater clarity and get complex patterns. It offers exceptional durability. The craft works on intricate designs and has a delicate texture. High density woven labels are especially for high-end brand safety shoes. However, the costs are relatively high, and the production is quite complex.
The woven label has better abrasion resistance than printing on safety shoes in construction and mining. And woven labels have stronger stability after weaving. The woven labels do not deform or fall off after washing and friction.
Besides, the three-dimensional feel and texture can add a sense of fashion to safety shoes. The textile process of weaving labels allows for the use of various colors and yarns to meet different design needs.
Due to the limitations of textiles, woven labels are not very suitable for very complex patterns and detailed designs, especially gradient colors and multi-layered design effects.
Compared to ordinary printing or heat transfer printing, the production cost of woven labels is relatively high, especially for high-density and jacquard woven labels, which are even more expensive.
Weaving labels requires a certain amount of time for design, color matching, and weaving. As a result, woven labels require a relatively long production cycle.
Logo Position
Tongue is a noticeable position, which is easy to display logos and resistant to wear; the outer of the safety shoes is suitable for printing larger logos or brand names; a smaller logo can be added to the heel area; some brands also choose to print their logo on the sole of the shoe. It can leave a mark of the brand while walking, although it is not easily visible.
Material Requirements
Abrasion Resistance: The logo on safety shoes is often exposed to harsh working environments. So the material of the logo needs to have strong abrasion resistance and durability.
Waterproof and dust-proof: In humid or dusty work environments, the logo material should have certain waterproof and dust-proof properties to prevent the logo from falling off or becoming blurred.
Eco-friendly materials: For companies that prioritize environmental protection, eco-friendly inks or materials can be chosen to meet safety and environmental requirements.
In short, customizing the logo on work safety shoes not only enhances brand image but also strengthens internal management and safety awareness within the company through personalized design. By choosing the appropriate printing method and materials, companies can ensure that the logo on safety shoes is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and practical.
