Hi-Vis & Safety
Branding mistakes on hi-vis & safety: the five we see most
The five mistakes
- Sizing the logo from the screen, not the garment — a logo that fills a phone screen swallows a chest.
- Printing on super-stretch fabric — the design distorts the moment the garment moves.
- Using a busy or textured face when a clean one is available.
- Ignoring the placement rules — logos over seams, pockets and reflective bands.
- Skipping the proof — then paying for a full run of a mistake.
Avoid them on hi-vis & safety
With 44 styles in this family there's a clean, mid-weight face for almost every logo. Ask us which one before you commit the run.
