Where the mark goes. How it's printed.
Every Smart PPE™ item carries the brand at two moments: point of sale and point of use. This section covers what's mandatory, where it goes, and how to spec it for print.
Mandatory elements
Five things on every Smart PPE™ product.
These are not optional. Every item produced under the Smart PPE™ licence must carry all five.
- 01Powered by Scannable lockup
Primary packaging surface — box side panel, polybag sticker, or hangtag front.
Use the correct variant for the background. Minimum 16 mm wide in print. Full clearspace rules apply.
- 02Smart PPE™ wordmark
Anywhere the product is described by category — on-pack copy, spec sheets, product pages.
Trademark (™) on first use per surface. Title case throughout.
- 03Scannable technology
Adjacent to the location of either the NFC tag or 2D code on the product, or on the packaging near the product diagram.
Tells the buyer where to tap or scan. Do not show NFC placement as a separate sticker on the product surface.
- 04Registration prompt
On-pack copy — side panel or insert.
Tap or scan to access all product information, and manage your new piece of equipment digitally.
- 05The Scannable hangtag
Attached to every Smart PPE™ item at point of sale.
Mandatory. Provided free of charge. You can order via orders@scannable.io. Do not design your own replacement.
Physical touchpoints
Five surfaces. One system.
Placement
Powered by Scannable lockup — side panel, lower-right corner. Smart PPE™ on the same panel as the product name.
Minimum size
Lockup minimum 16 mm wide. Match height to your wordmark's x-height if co-located.
Notes
Dark backgrounds preferred. Use the outline-light lockup variant on dark cartons, solid-dark on white.
Placement
Sticker on the front face. Powered by Scannable lockup + Smart PPE™ + registration prompt.
Minimum size
Sticker minimum 50 × 30 mm. Lockup minimum 16 mm wide within the sticker.
Notes
The Scannable hangtag is threaded through the product — the polybag sticker is the second brand touchpoint.
Placement
Attached to the product at point of sale. Front: brand. Back: instructions.
Minimum size
50 × 50 mm standard (SCN-119). Larger formats available. See Assets for print files.
Notes
Do not design or print your own hangtag. Order from Scannable — it's free and mandatory.
Placement
The squircle mark should be visible at the chip location. The NFC indicator adjacent.
Minimum size
Squircle minimum 8 mm / 24 px. Do not scale below this.
Notes
The squircle should be visible because it is physically there — never add it in post-production photography.
Placement
Powered by Scannable lockup on the front. Registration instructions on the back.
Minimum size
Lockup minimum 16 mm wide.
Notes
Keep registration instructions to a single step: 'Tap any phone to the squircle on your [product].'
The hangtag

You do not design it — you order it. It comes in four formats to fit different product attachment methods. Whilst we prefer you request them from us, we've provided the below print ready files should you want to print them at the point of manufacture.
