How To Print Hi-Visibility PPE
According to a recent industry study, there are 642,252 construction companies operating across the UK, highlighting just how large and competitive this sector is. With such a vast workforce, the demand for reliable safety workwear is consistently high—and Hi-Vis garments play a crucial role in meeting that need.
In the construction industry, Hi-Vis clothing isn’t just a preference; it’s an essential part of workplace safety regulations. These garments are designed to improve visibility in low-light conditions, busy sites, and high-risk environments, helping to reduce accidents and keep workers safe throughout the day.
Because Hi-Vis gear is typically worn for long hours, often as part of a daily uniform, businesses increasingly look for customisation options that go beyond basic functionality. Companies want branded, professional-looking workwear that represents their identity while still meeting safety standards. This creates a strong opportunity for suppliers to offer high-quality custom printed Hi-Vis garments that combine compliance, durability, and brand visibility.
For print providers and workwear suppliers, this demand means there is significant potential in offering personalised Hi-Vis solutions that are both practical and tailored to each customer’s needs.
Low Temperature Heat Transfer
UltraColour PRO Heat Transfers is a low temperature heat transfer that applies at just 125 °C. This low application temperature makes them the perfect heat transfer choice for a heat-sensitive fabric like polyester.
Don't forget to consider dye-migration. With heavily dyed fabrics, you may find that you need UltraColour Pro Subli-block for protection against dye-migration.
Grip Flex
A Grip Flex pad offers an extra barrier against your heat press platen if a low-temperature heat transfer isn't enough to avoid scorch marks.
Reliable Heat Press
When printing Hi-Vis garments, your equipment is just as important as your materials. To achieve the best results, make sure you’re using a reliable heat press like a Hotronix. Unlike basic heat presses, Hotronix machines give you precise control over the three key elements of heat printing: time, temperature, and pressure.
