On your packaging, website and in press. The approved terminology, copy blocks you can paste directly, and guidance on how to reference the partnership on your own site.
Terminology
Combined usage
Smart PPE™ powered by Scannable®
When both marks appear together — in a product name, headline, or formal partnership declaration — this is the correct combined form. The ™ follows Smart PPE and the ® follows Scannable. Outside of this combined form, Scannable carries no symbol in marketing or packaging copy.
The product category
Smart PPE™
The category name for safety equipment — helmets, harnesses, ropes, lanyards — that ships with Scannable technology embedded. It describes what a manufacturer makes, not a single product. Say a brand 'makes Smart PPE™', not that a specific item 'is Smart PPE'.
Example
“Edelrid makes Smart PPE™.”
The partnership declaration
Powered by Scannable
The lockup that lives on your product, packaging, and marketing. It tells the buyer this item connects to the Scannable system. This is what your brand carries — not ours.
Example
“Our [Product] is Powered by Scannable.”
“[Brand] Smart PPE™, Powered by Scannable®.”
The company
Scannable
The company building the technology and infrastructure for manufacturers, and the app for equipment owners. Use when attributing the technology or referring to the system itself. Never used as an adjective for your own product.
Example
“Scan your smart product and all the information will show in the Scannable app.”
Usage & trademark
The association is a declaration: your product connects to the Scannable system. Lead with the outcome – the ability to tap, scan and read – not with the technology e.g. the chip or the 2D code.

The [Product Name] is a [Category] built for [Primary Use], now powered by Scannable. Through scannable technology embedded in the item, any phone can instantly access the item's serial number, inspection history, certification status, key compliance data, and assigned wearer in under a second.

On the category
"Smart PPE™ isn't a product, it's a standard. We make safety equipment readable, so you can spend less time on the admin associated with managing your equipment and more on the job at hand."
On manufacturer partnerships
"We don't compete with manufacturers — we ship inside their gear. Powered by Scannable means the brand on the [Product Category] stays the same, but what it can do changes."
Your website
Buyers research before they buy. Manufacturers that clearly explain the benefits of Smart PPE™ — using the right messaging, the right mark, and a dedicated page — build trust faster and make it easier for buyers to choose their products. Here's what that page should include.
Recommended content
The lockup next to products
On the listing grid, the stacked Smart PPE™ gradient mark is enough — it’s a badge, and the buyer only needs to know which items in the range are smart. On the product page, use the horizontal Powered by Scannable lockup near the buy area, where it reads as a spec rather than a sticker.

From the community
There isn’t one set approach — it’s what suits your brand and your audience. We do find that when brands provide more education, context and highlight what Smart PPE™ is or what Powered by Scannable means, we see increased product engagement and adoption of Scannable.

Say this, not this
Common mistakes
Writing 'scannable' in lowercase — the brand name must always be capitalised, even when the rest of the phrase is lowercase (e.g. 'powered by Scannable' is fine).
Adding ® or ™ to standalone 'Scannable' in marketing copy — only use ® in the combined form 'Smart PPE™ powered by Scannable®'.
Leading with the technology ('NFC-equipped') instead of the outcome ('Powered by Scannable').
Using 'Smart PPE' without ™ on its first use on a page or document.
Calling it 'Scannable-enabled' — that's not a real term in this system.
Describing the chip placement in marketing copy — the hangtag handles that. Keep your packaging copy clean.
