Overview

Portwest is an Irish workwear and PPE brand producing safety clothing, hi-vis and trade garments for industrial and corporate use across Europe. Safety and workwear garments decorate to their own rules, and a branded order often means the same logo across a full crew in matched garments. For a reseller, getting every position placed and proofed correctly before decoration is exactly the work FastEditor removes.

FastEditor connects to the Portwest catalogue, with decoration positions and methods attached to each garment. A customer uploads their logo on your product page, places it on the chest, back or sleeve, and the file that reaches production is vectorized, checked against the rules for that garment and method, and ready to decorate.

How the integration works

The Portwest connection keeps product data, variants, colours and decoration positions in sync, so a garment that changes or drops out of the range is reflected in your store without editing a spreadsheet.

Three things travel with every garment:

  • Print positions. Chest, back and sleeve areas with their own size and placement, so the editor holds a design to what the garment allows.
  • Decoration methods. Embroidery, transfer or print per garment, each with its own colour and detail limits.
  • Colour and size variants. The full colour and size grid, so a logo previews on the exact colour the customer is ordering.

Artwork requirements

Safety and workwear garments take decoration hard, and FastEditor validates a design against the rules for the chosen garment and method before any production file is generated. The checks that run on each upload:

  • Embroidery limits. Fine detail and small text that will not stitch cleanly are flagged in the editor, with a minimum text height and line weight enforced for the position.
  • Colour counts. Screen and transfer printing carry a maximum number of colours per position, caught before an over-colour logo reaches production.
  • Placement and size. The logo is held inside the real decoration area for that garment, so it is never scaled beyond what the panel allows.
  • File formats. Customers upload JPG, PNG, PDF, AI or EPS. Automated vectorization turns the upload into clean paths ready for embroidery digitising or print.
  • Colour matching. Uploads convert to the colour space the method needs, with brand colour matching where the method supports it.

How to start selling

  1. Start with the Portwest catalogue. The workwear range is available in the FastEditor Product Hub with print positions and methods already attached to each garment.
  2. Choose how customers experience it. Embed the Logo Editor on your webshop, or work in the Studio Tool for internal quotes and sampling.
  3. Place, preview and validate in one place. The logo sits inside the real decoration area, previews on the ordered garment colour, and is checked against the embroidery and print rules before approval.
  4. A production file goes back ready to decorate. On approval FastEditor generates the print-ready file and a branded proof, matched to the garment and method.

Frequently asked questions

How many Portwest products are available through FastEditor?

The Portwest workwear catalogue is available through the FastEditor Product Hub, with print positions and decoration methods attached to each garment. The range syncs so availability and specifications stay current.

Which decoration methods does FastEditor support for Portwest?

Embroidery, screen printing and transfer methods, matched to each garment. Each position carries the colour and detail limits that method allows, so a design is validated before it reaches production.

Can customers decorate more than one position on a Portwest garment?

Yes. Chest, back and sleeve positions are supported where the garment allows, and each is placed inside its real decoration area and proofed independently.

Does a Portwest order produce a production-ready file automatically?

Yes. Once the customer approves their design, FastEditor generates a production-ready file matched to that garment and method, vectorized and checked for colour count, detail and placement.
