Heat transfer logos

Skanwear stocks a wide range of PPE that can be used by engineers that are operating in both hot and cold environments and can also offer businesses branding for their garments in the form of logos and name badges.
 
The company uses heat transfer on their logos as this ensures that protection against arc flash is maintained. Accessories that are sewn on to garments will need to make use of FR thread if they are going to offer workers the same level of protection.
 
Angus Long, Global Technical Manager said: “Labels and branding are popular on workwear as a way to both promote a business’s brand and also ensure that engineers are made to be recognizable.
 
“We understand that every single company is different, which is why we ensure that we offer a diverse range of solutions that includes name badges, reflective badges, barcodes and even helmet branding in the form of stickers and prints.
 
“Choosing to have logos placed on garments through heat transfer will also mean that they are more likely to stay on the garment for the duration of its lifespan.”
 
Embroidery is made up of lots of stitches and even a small chest embroidery will contain over 1000 stitches, so this means 2000 holes in the garment.  This automatically makes the area of the embroidery a weak point, so there is a risk in the event of an ARC Flash that the protection of the garment may be compromised.

Heat applied garments supplied by Skanwear are Flame Retardant and won’t melt or effect the protection properties of the garment.

Skanwear also offers a number of generic heat transfers including electricity and gas that are readily available for customers. Common areas to place logos on garments include on the chest, back and the nape of the neck.
