Co-branding rules

Working together. Never competing

Powered by Scannable lives next to your brand on packaging, never on top of it. Match the lockup height to your wordmark's x-height, separated by a hairline rule. More clearspace is always better.

Background pairing

Dark background

Use the light / outline variant.

Light background

Use the dark / solid variant.

Clearspace

1× height
1× height
1× height
1× height

No other logos, type, or rules inside the exclusion zone. More clearspace is always better.

  • Print minimum16 mm wide for the horizontal lockup. Mark-only: 8 mm.
  • Digital minimum96 px wide for the horizontal lockup. Mark-only: 24 px.

Don't do this

Don't rotate.

Always upright, never angled.

Don't stretch or squash.

Proportions are fixed — never distort.

Wrong variant on light.

The lime outline mark disappears on light backgrounds.

Don't write 'powered by scannable' in lowercase — it's always title case.
Don't add ® or ™ to the word 'Scannable' in marketing copy.
Don't use the Smart PPE™ mark without ™ on its first use in a document.
Don't place on a busy photograph without a protective backing panel.

Photography

Real content in real places. No stock or AI generated imagery

  • Honest light

    Daylight, overcast, or single-source studio. No drama lighting or HDR.

  • Real environments

    Sites, workshops, vehicles. Never a white cyclorama unless it's a pure SKU shot.

  • Smart marking visible

    Where possible, try to showcase the label, tag, or 2D code – don't force it, capture it naturally.

  1. 1Hero — Smart PPE™ product in environment. Use wide angle or ultra-wide angle to capture the whole environment and context.
  2. 2Kit shot — multiple items, real gear, showing scale and quantity. This can be shot in the field, on the factory floor, or in a training centre – the key is capture a shot that covers more than just one piece of Smart PPE.
  3. 3Tag detail — A close up of the Scannable tag integration, with the label legible or smart marking clear. Or show the product coming off the product line with the Scannable branding – making the Smart PPE labels a focal point.
  4. 4Wearer Portrait — Another shot from the field. Show Smart PPE being used in context. This time add the human element looking at the camera.
  5. 5The tap — phone within 2 cm of the chip, hand visible, screen showing the read. Can be staged or from the field – either works, this is about celebrating the app.
  6. 6Item close up — Close up of item in use, showcase the product if it's being used with other equipment. Real environment, real use.
No HDR, no over-saturation.
No models in pristine, never-worn PPE.
No glowing chip overlays added in post.
No staged 'thumbs-up to camera' shots.
