Customize Your Protective Industrial Safety Products
For over 30 years, Protective Industrial Products® (PIP® for short) has been an independently owned supplier of consumable personal protective equipment (PPE) to industrial distribution. Their products are made right here in the USA and are designed and tested to provide the utmost safest qualities to their wearers. PIP® offers an array of advanced cut-resistant fibers, body protective gear; electrical safety products, from head, face, hearing protection, warning beacons and to arm and hand safety, they have it all.
They also offer several custom made solutions such as vend ready products and custom imprinting on most safety eyewear, hard hats, gloves, vests, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and summertime heat relief products such as cooling towels, cooling vests and bandanas.
1. Vend-Ready Solutions
We have all visited a vending machine to satisfy that need for a quick snack on the job to get us to lunch or even the end of the day. PIP® is making it easier on the employee and the company to be able to grab that necessary pair of gloves or safety equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently. With multiple vending locations and product selection control, it will be easier to grab personal protection equipment that is right for the job with less downtime. PIP® also makes it easier to order and get those vend-ready products by selecting the vending format that is best for your machine. Select from a fold and have them rubber banded, sealed in a plastic bag, shrink wrapped, or sock folded. Individual packaging reduces space consumption in most machines or on a hook. You can choose from:
- Shrink-Wrapped Gloves - Product is tri-folded and shrink-wrapped for carefree dispensing
- Folded Pair Bag Gloves - Pair packed bags keep products clean with no loose edges or rubber bands and have easy-to-read labels that make identifying the product and size easier.
- Customized Glove and Sleeve Solutions - All of PIP® bulk gloves and sleeves can be Vend-Packed at special request using Made-to-Order services, and offer 4 options
- Folded and Rubber Banded
- Folded & Sealed Plastic Bag
- Folded & Shrink-Wrapped

Helix coil vending products include Bouton Optical Safety Glasses and Hi-Viz Safety Vests.
2. Custom Logo Imprinting
Logo Imprinting is just one of the custom services that PIP® is proud to offer. With a 6-day turnaround time, the PIP® design team's work is fast, easy, and precise. Logo proofs can be turned around in as little as 24 hours after the request is submitted (depending on the format). Their recently expanded production capacity also allows them to keep delivering fast turnaround times, even as orders continue to increase.
- Pad Printing is an indirect offset printing process that allows the image to be transferred from the printing plate via a silicone pad onto the product, and can be ideal for imprinting 3-D objects. For this method of imprinting, and depending on the product, you can select up to four of the twelve readily-available colors.
- Heat Transfer is a printing process that involves the image being printed on transfer paper and then applied to the product using heat. This method is available in up to four of twelve readily-available PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors and allows for better detail with the multiple colors selected.
- Screen Printing is a method that uses only screens to print the image directly onto the chosen product. It works only for clothing and is available in up to four of twelve readily-available PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors.
- Embroidery is a higher quality imprint option that is available in up to nine of sixteen readily-available PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors. All pricing is custom quoted based on stitch count and lead times may vary based on quantity. This option is also only available for clothing and bump caps.
The Pantone® Matching System is a color matching system to keep consistent color across all printing processes. PIP® offers select stock colors based on the ones that are most commonly ordered, and you can select the closest stocked pantone colors to your colors for no additional charges. If you want an exact color match, a Pantone® color match can be selected and custom mixed for your order, and does involve additional charges. You can download PIP's custom order request forms below.

3. Made-to-Order Knit Protective Sleeves
