Custom ANSI Class 2 & Class 3 Hi-Vis Shirts With Your Logo
Short answer: yes, you can put your logo on an ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 shirt. The logo has to stay off the reflective tape and the remaining fluorescent background has to still meet the class minimum. A left-chest logo and a modest back logo almost always fit.
We decorate ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant shirts, tees, hoodies, vests and jackets for road, utility, mining and construction crews, and we place the logo so the garment stays compliant.

Figures from ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 as summarized in 3M’s guide to the standard. On federal-aid highways the MUTCD requires Type R Class 2 or Class 3 for workers on foot. Full explainer: ANSI hi-vis classes and logo compliance.
How We Keep Your Logo Compliant
- Never on the tape. Stitching or printing over retroreflective material kills the reflection and can crack the tape.
- Sized to the panel. Left chest around 3.5 inches; back logos placed above or between the tape bands.
- Low-temp transfers. High press heat dulls fluorescent polyester, so we use adhesives built for safety fabric.
- Reflective logos when you want size. Under the 2020 standard, compliant retroreflective logos can count toward the reflective area.

Gear note from the shop: performance and dark fabrics show hoop burn, so we're moving our flat goods to Maggie magnetic frames. A 6.9" left-chest hoop or 8.7"×5" hoop with cut-away stabilizer keeps polos and work shirts flat and mark-free. More in magnetic frames vs factory hoops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a company logo on an ANSI Class 2 shirt?
Yes, as long as the logo stays off the retroreflective tape and the remaining fluorescent background still meets the Class 2 minimum of 775 square inches.
What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3?
Class 3 requires more background material (1,240 vs 775 square inches for Type R) and more reflective material (310 vs 201), plus sleeves or pants with tape for 360-degree visibility.
Does embroidery void hi-vis compliance?
Not by itself. It only becomes a problem if the logo covers the tape or is large enough to drop the background area below the class minimum.
Do reflective logos count toward the reflective requirement?
Under ANSI/ISEA 107-2020, retroreflective logos made from compliant material can count toward the retroreflective area.
What class do highway work zones require?
The MUTCD requires Type R Class 2 or Class 3 apparel for workers on foot on federal-aid highways.
Is there a minimum order for custom hi-vis?
No minimum on embroidery or DTF. Screen printing has no hard minimum, but we recommend 48+ pieces per design.
Hi-vis is not the same as flame resistant. If your crew works around arc flash or flash fire, you need arc-rated or NFPA 2112 garments instead — see FR workwear.
