What is the process for customizing the bin with logos or branding for municipalities or businesses?

Customizing trash bins with logos or branding involves a specialized 5-stage process tailored for municipalities and commercial clients. First, clients submit vector-format artwork (EPS/AI files) meeting minimum 300 DPI resolution requirements. The manufacturer then converts designs to CMYK color profiles and creates digital proofs for approval within 3-5 business days.

Approved designs undergo either:

1) Direct UV printing for complex multicolor patterns (ideal for recycling bins)

2) Vinyl decal application for high-durability solutions (common for outdoor commercial bins)

3) Screen printing for large municipal orders (cost-effective for 100+ units)

Industrial-grade bins receive additional protective clear-coat layers before curing at 160°F (71°C) for weather resistance. The entire process typically takes 2-3 weeks from approval to shipment, with custom color-matching available for corporate branding compliance. Municipalities often opt for reflective safety striping integration, while businesses frequently choose wraparound designs with QR codes for marketing purposes.

Quality control includes 48-hour adhesion testing and scratch resistance verification before shipment. Most custom bins carry 5-7 year warranties on printed graphics, depending on exposure conditions. Recent advancements include eco-friendly water-based inks and modular panel systems for easy graphic updates without full bin replacement.
