Blue Whale Hi Vis Safety Vest β Custom Logo
- Preferred files: transparent PNG at 300 DPI at the finished print size, vector artwork — AI, EPS or SVG — or a print-ready PDF.
- We cannot print from: screenshots, photos of a logo or low-resolution web images. Please send the original artwork file instead.
- If your file needs background removal, cleanup or redrawing, we’ll contact you before production. Any artwork fee is quoted in advance and only proceeds with your approval.
- Text only? Business name, staff names or a slogan? Type it in the notes below and we set it for free.
- No file ready? Order now and email it to hello@dtfmotion.com.au with your order number. Every order gets a free mockup to approve before we print.
Please confirm your print size. A file's pixel dimensions are not its print size — the same logo can be printed at 5 cm or 25 cm. Tell us the width you want in cm above; otherwise we use the standard size for that position and show it in your free mockup.
Mix any custom apparel — different garments, colours and sizes all count toward the same total. Tees, polos and hi vis in one cart add up together, so a whole crew reaches the next tier faster.

Print positions on a vest
- The front is two narrow panels either side of the opening, so a chest print is a small one β about 9 Γ 6 cm. A crest, a name, or a short word rather than a wide logo
- The back is the big one β one clean fluoro panel, up to about 28 Γ 20 cm. That is where a business name, βVISITORβ or a full club logo 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
- Plain fluoro with no tape means there is nothing in the way β this is the easiest garment in the range to print on

Garment & specs
- Style code: Blue Whale V81 (SKU format V81-COLOUR-SIZE)
- 130gsm 100% polyester β light, quick drying and hard wearing
- Regular fit, hook-and-loop front closure, navy binding along every edge
- Day use only. Complies with AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Class D. There is no reflective tape on this vest, so it is not rated for night work β if your site requires day/night, use the V82 day/night vest instead
- 2 colours: Fluoro Yellow/Navy and Fluoro Orange/Navy. Sizes XSβ3XL and 5XL in both
- Worn over other clothing, so it is cut generously β most crews order S/M/L/XL only and it works
Print & care
We print with DTF (direct-to-film) β 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 40Β°C), gentle cycle
- No bleach and no fabric softener on the print
- Hang dry β this fabric dries in minutes and dryer heat is hard on the print
- Never iron over the print
- Leave 24 hours before the first wash
Artwork
- Best files: PNG with a transparent background, or vector β 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 β we always quote before we start and you can approve or decline
- Text only β a business name, a role like βMARSHALβ, 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 β 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 β 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.
| Size | Β½ Chest |
|---|---|
| XS | 53 |
| S | 56 |
| M | 59 |
| L | 62 |
| XL | 65 |
| 2XL | 68 |
| 3XL | 71 |
| 5XL | 77 |
Blue Whale does not make this vest in 4XL β the run goes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, then straight to 5XL. That is the manufacturerβs 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 β we can help you work out a size run before you commit.
