WELCOME TO OUR FIRST EVER BBH PRODUCT INFORMATION BLOG POST!
In this series, we will discuss and answer frequently asked questions about our products.
This month, we’re talking about a service that has become increasingly popular with our customers across various industries: putting logos on workwear and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
WHY CUSTOMIZE MY GEAR?
There are many benefits to having your logo displayed on your clothing and PPE, the first being that it projects a professional look in and around the job site. This not only unifies your employees but ensures that your crew stands out. You could also use this service to advertise your brand or to promote a message/slogan. Other options include customization at the individual level by adding employee names to the item, which is a popular option for holiday gifts, to celebrate career milestones, or to reward unique accomplishments.
WHAT PRODUCTS CAN MY LOGO GO ON?
At Groupe BBH, we are always looking for ways to expand our offering of customizable products. Currently, your logo can be put on High-Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA) including vests, hoodies, shirts, parkas, as well as Personal Protective Equipment including hard hats, safety glasses and gloves. Logo placement varies by item, you can view our customization catalog for all possible placements here.
WHAT TYPES OF CUSTOMIZATION ARE AVAILABLE?
There are 3 different types of customizations that can be used to brand your gear: Embroidery, Heat Transfer, and Pad Printing.
EMBROIDERY :
Embroidery involves embedding your design right onto the material with a needle and thread. This creates a luxurious look and is by far the most durable design method of decoration. An embroidered logo will last through many washes, and if properly cared for will outlast the garment itself. Please note that embroidery is not recommended for small logos or logos with a lot of detail. Embroidery is also not available on rainwear or FR-rated garments as this process directly compromises their waterproofing and flame retardant properties.
HEAT TRANSFER :
Heat transfer is the process of printing a logo that is then cut and glued directly onto the garment using a heat press. This type of customization can be done on all types of fabric. One key advantage to Heat Transfer is it allows for more precision when printing detailed logos. It is important to know that this process is exclusive to garments and cannot be done over reflective stripes as it will damage the material and compromise the retroreflection.
PAD PRINTING :
Pad Printing applies a thin layer of ink to objects using a rubber stamp, which can be done for any shape and size. It is the most versatile form of customization and can be applied on both smooth and textured surfaces. It generally allows for extreme precision when printing detailed images. Pad printing can also precisely showcase most colours, enhancing the ability to print your design as accurately as possible. One of the downsides of Pad Printing is that it uses ink, which means that wear and tear will affect the logo or message over time and can eventually wear out.
WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVIDE?
At Groupe BBH, we want to simplify the customization of your product. Here is what we need from you:
1. The reference of the product you want to customize
2. The quantity and size you need (Note: a minimum order applies; contact us for more details)
3. The location where you want your logo to be placed
4. What type of customization you want (embroidery, heat transfer or pad printing)
Note: the types of customization available depend on the item selected.
