Heat Transfer Decoration For Water-Repellent Items
Heat Transfer Logo Decoration for Waterproof Gear
As we look forward to the upcoming warm temperatures and sunny days, we also need to prepare for the unpredictability of spring weather. Many companies are getting ready for “April showers” by ordering water-resistant apparel for their team. Corporate rain jackets and other wet-weather gear are especially important if your employees work outside, travel regularly, or commute in rainy climates.
In this article, we’ll talk about what to look for when ordering your logo-branded water repellent gear. We will also discuss why you should choose heat transfer for your logo decoration and will share some of our top picks for corporate branded rain gear.
Logo Decoration for Water Repellent Items
When buying custom rain jackets or water-repellent bags, you want to make sure that they provide the level rain protection that you need. For more extreme conditions, look for materials featuring a polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) lining, which are fully waterproof and windproof. Apparel with ePTFE lining is often referred to as “hard shell”.
For more comfortable, everyday wear, a fluorocarbon-based Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is likely ideal. DWR is water and wind resistant, but offers more comfort and flexibility. Many brands use the term “soft shell” to describe DWR fabrics.
When ordering corporate clothing, embroidery is usually ideal for your logo, as it provides a high-quality finish. However, embroidery isn’t the best option for water repellent corporate apparel. Embroidery pokes hundreds of tiny holes into the fabric, which can allow water to seep in. Therefore, heat transfer is often the best choice for custom rain gear.
Heat Transfer Decoration for Water Repellent Corporate Apparel
When adding your logo to custom waterproof jackets, heat transfer printing is the best method. For heat transfer decoration, our technicians at Merchology print your logo onto a special transfer paper and use a heat press to apply the decoration to your apparel items. Several other tools and supplies are used to insure proper application and to protect the material from scorching.
Since this process simply transfers ink onto the material’s surface, it is an ideal choice for water repellent corporate apparel. With no holes poked in the fabric, your custom logo jackets will remain fully waterproof.
