When should I order custom hard hats with a printed logo versus order custom stickers? Obviously, when you order a custom logo directly printed on a hard hat, you will need to order new hard hats. Although this is a significant investment, you can have your logo printed in one or two colors using pad printing and the results are professional.
But, in most situations, this is not practical. A hard hat can show more than just a logo. Look over the following table that compares the advantages of each approach:

No, a hard hat should not become a billboard. On the other hand, a hard hat can show more than just a logo! Stickers provide instant and colorful way to organize, motivate and identify your team.
