Customization Options For Branded Fanny Packs
What’s so great about personalized fanny packs? Aside from being a sustainable gift option, they offer endless branding potential. Here are some of the ways you can create customizable fanny packs.
Embroidery
Embroidery is the art or process of forming decorative designs by the use of needlework and color threads. Because it is ideal on thicker fabrics like cotton, canvas, and denim, it’s an excellent option for creating a customizable fanny packs with your brand's logo, icons, or more.
Patches
Patches can be designed with embroidery, chenille, or leather and are sewn directly onto products. This method of customization is a brilliant option for adding texture, making your logo pop, and creating a belt bag that is unique.
Labels
Also called sewn tags or custom woven tags, labels are made of comfortable durable fabrics that offer a tailored look for your brand. Sewn tags are best used for woven labels for retail-ready products, like a custom fanny pack. While labels are often used on the interior of products, they can also be used on the exterior and offer a unique way to set your logo apart.
Screen Printing
One of the most common forms of customization is screenprinting. This technique uses a mesh to transfer ink or dye onto a textile through a stenciled design. Screen can be used for both soft apparel and accessories made of poly and cotton, as well as, thicker fabrics like canvas and denim.
Color Options
One way to create a colorful waist pack is through dye sublimation. This digital computer printing technique uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as plastic, cards, paper, or fabric. Dye sublimation is best used for full-color, edge-to-edge printing on apparel, lanyards, handkerchiefs, and more.
Another way to companies can achieve colorful packs is by opting for pre-made build-your-own designs for crafting a custom look. With a plethora of color options to choose from, creating a color-blocked effect (like shown below) is a breeze.
For companies wanting promotional fanny packs that are truly on-brand, opt for services like PMS color matching that can make your own company's branding come to life. With companies like Gemnote that offer PMS (Pantone) color matching for screen print, embroidery, dip dyes, and much more you’ll never have to compromise on your branding.
