Blue Whale Hi Vis Day/Night Safety Vest — Custom Logo

Certified day and night hi vis vest, printed with your logo — four dollars over the day vest and the crew is covered after dark.

Base price includes a free chest logo — put it on the left or right chest, or move it to a full back print for $5.99. Blue Whale V82 Hi Vis Safety Vest: 130gsm 100% polyester with a hook-and-loop front closure, navy binding and retroreflective tape in the H pattern — two hoops around the body plus a brace over each shoulder, front and back. Certified for day and night use.

Print positions on a day/night vest

• We never press over the reflective tape. Heat flattens the glass beads inside it, and covering reflective area is what costs a vest its night rating. Every print below sits on the fluoro fabric, clear of the tape
• The two shoulder braces run down the front, so the printable chest panel is the strip between the brace and the front opening — a small logo, about 9 × 6 cm. A crest, a name or a short word rather than a wide logo
• The back is the big one — the clean fluoro panel between the braces and above the waist hoop, about 24 × 20 cm. That is where a business name belongs, and it is the print people actually read from a distance
• Want lettering on both chest panels as well as the back? Add the second chest as an extra location and we do all three

Garment & specs

• Style code: Blue Whale V82 (SKU format V82-COLOUR-SIZE)
• 130gsm 100% polyester — light, quick drying and hard wearing
• Regular fit, hook-and-loop front closure, navy binding along every edge
• Day and night rated. Complies with AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Class D/N
• H-pattern retroreflective tape: two hoops around the body plus a brace over each shoulder, front and back
• 2 colours: Fluoro Yellow/Navy and Fluoro Orange/Navy. Sizes XS–3XL and 5XL in both
• Only need daytime visibility? The V81 day vest is the same garment without the tape, from $12.99 — and its plain back takes a bigger print

Print & care

We print with DTF (direct-to-film) — full colour, no colour limit, no setup fee, and it bonds to 100% polyester that DTG cannot handle. Our transfers are tested for 50+ washes when pressed and cared for as directed.

• Wash inside out, cold or warm (max 40°C), gentle cycle
• No bleach, and no fabric softener on the print or the tape
• Hang dry — dryer heat is hard on reflective tape
• Never iron over the print or over the reflective tape
• Leave 24 hours before the first wash
• Reflective tape wears out before the garment does. Check it still comes up bright under a torch, and retire the vest when it dulls

Artwork

• Best files: PNG with a transparent background, or vector — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. These print exactly as supplied
• JPGs, screenshots and photos of a logo are still accepted. If the background has to be cut out an artwork fee may apply — we always quote before we start and you can approve or decline
• Text only — a business name, a role like “MARSHAL”, or numbers? Type it into the notes on this page and we set it for free
• 300 DPI at the final print size
• Minimum line thickness 0.5 mm so fine detail holds
• White in your artwork prints as white ink — if you want the garment colour to show through, make it transparent
• Up to 20 MB per file through the uploader; larger files, just email them

Size guide

All measurements in centimetres. Chest is a half-chest measurement — taken across the garment laid flat, not around your body. This vest is designed to be worn over a shirt or jumper, so it is cut wider than a polo of the same size.

Blue Whale does not make this vest in 4XL — the run goes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, then straight to 5XL. That is the manufacturer’s size run, not a gap in our stock. Blue Whale labels the 68 cm size XXL; we list it as 2XL so it sorts with the rest of our range. Blue Whale publishes chest only for this style; we have not invented a length column.

Sizing and returns: printed garments are made to order, so we cannot accept change-of-mind returns or size swaps. We will replace or refund anything with a print or garment fault. Kitting out a whole crew? Email hello@dtfmotion.com.au — we can help you work out a size run before you commit.
