Why a softshell blocker is needed
Colour from a softshell can migrate into the print over time. This can discolour a light logo: it is known as dye migration. An industrially washable logo with a softshell blocker protects the print against this migration. The protective layer prevents colour from the jacket entering the logo.
We print Helly Hansen softshell jackets with all the logo types we use at Unishore Workwear. Our Helly Hansen workwear printing page explains more about personalising this brand.
Some softshells are specifically offered as “printable”. You can find this designation in our webshop filters.
Fifty logos, not fifty jackets
Industrial logos with a softshell blocker are ordered in batches of 50. We apply them to the jackets ourselves. You do not have to order 50 softshell jackets at once: we store any remaining logos free of charge for your next order. The unused logos have a shelf life of two years.
These logos withstand industrial washing. Whether the jacket can be washed in the same way depends on its care instructions.
A chest logo or a larger back print
Possible positions on a softshell include the chest, back, sleeve and back of the neck just below the collar. A neck logo has no fixed size: it can be subtle or more prominent. A hood can cover a logo placed high on the back. We therefore take the hood, pockets and seams into account when positioning the print. You see the chosen positions and sizes in a digital proof beforehand.
Alongside printing, softshell jacket embroidery is an option. This gives your logo a different appearance in thread. Find out about printing on other types of outer jackets on our work jacket printing page.
Frequently asked questions about softshell printing
Can I have just one softshell printed?
Yes, one jacket is possible. For logos with a softshell blocker, you do order a stock of 50 logos. The number of logos and the number of jackets are therefore two different quantities.
