Retractable belts can be printed with the customer’s own inscriptions, warnings, logo, photos, graphics promotions. Our pricing and quality offer is by far the best in the market!

There are 2 printing methods:
Silk Screen Printing
Used for simple logos or text in a single color and is very cost effective. Utilizes gloss ink that helps a logo to "pop
Dye Sublimation Printing (Digital Printing)
Used for complex or multi colored designs. Being a digital process almost anything can be printed including photographs and scannable QR codes. The ink is infused (dyed) into the fibers of the belt meaning the pnnt will never wear off.
Chose a standard 2” inch or a wide 3” inch Belt.
The 3" width of the Xtra belt allows logos and messages to be printed 50% larger than on a standard 2" wide belt. The larger print size dramatically increases both viewing distance and impact of prints (3” belts are maximum 11’ feet long).
Viewing Distance
The larger the print the greater distance it can be seen from. Visible distance is important to get the best value from branding, particularly on the belts on the outside of a queue system where the message is seen by passersby and not just those in the queue.
For those standing in the queue or close to a safety barrier the size of the belt print greatly affects the impact of the logo or message. Large, bold print draws the eye and improves message retention.

Retractable Belt Custom Printing.
Belt width is a standard 2” or 3” inches.
Printing area - leave ¼“ top and bottom as this is the closest the logo or text print can be to the belt edge. For the dye-sub printing the background belt color is printed all the way to the edge but the logo or text still cannot be closer than ¼ “. This is to allow for the belt wander and shrinkage during the print process.
Pro tip - add a clearly visible design at the beginning of the belt so your staff will not overextend the belts. You have to keep about 12” inches or more of the belt inside the spool, so if you pull on the belt it can safely retract from the post instead of pulling and tipping over your stanchions.
Example from the Chicago O’Hare airport, stanchion “Beltrac 3000”
Post Wrap Printing.
The Post Wrap template is for a standard 2.5” diameter post. It is just a rectangle, you can fit the artwork up to the edges. The dimensions are 8” x 37 ¼ “ the template is pre-sized so you just need to fit the artwork to it. One note – the square at the top is the area where the wrap will have the slots for the cassette receiver splines cut out so that area should be left as a plain background color. No bleed needed for the wrap, the artwork can fill the whole rectangle up to the edges. Download the template .ai file here.
