Net branding for ball-catching nets
Printed nets and ball-catching nets,
Visible advertising on the field,
A technology developed by us makes it possible to print standard sports nets, ball-catching nets and spectator safety nets in high quality—and use them as effective advertising space. Many stadiums and arenas use such nets to protect spectators from the sports equipment.
A printed net—so-called net branding—can also serve as an eye-catching advertising space and is used in football, handball and ice hockey, among others. These previously unused areas can generate additional advertising revenue for your club. We print logos or emblems directly onto the net in the largest possible size—clearly visible and high impact.
Printed catch net
For ball-catching nets or spectator safety nets, we recommend single-sided net branding.
These coatings are not produced with conventional inks on digital printers or airbrush systems, because a simple coat of paint is not as opaque as a fiber coating. Opacity and light transmission would work against the effect, and the 3D look would be missing entirely.
Printing Technology for Sports Nets
We use weather-resistant, high-opacity UV substrates. On the front of the net, the net twine is thickened. This creates a partial surface enlargement on the net. The motif appears three-dimensional and bright to the eye. Visibility is increased compared to normal paint application.
Compare the printed mesh with the net body in the images. The logos are easier to recognize than the unprinted net itself. This effect cannot be achieved with simple color printing.
Visibility through the net
Here you can see the back of the net that carries the branding on the front. No distracting logo color is visible, so spectators have a clear view.
Printed catch net
- Single-sided branding – back remains translucent and clear
- Unobstructed view for spectators behind the net
- Use of new, high-quality nets only
- Nets sourced from European manufacturers
- Individually tailored to your requirements
- Top quality net branding
The branding on the football catch net is visible from one side only. This gives people behind the net an unobstructed view of the field.
We use only new catch nets, ball-catching nets and advertising nets, specially matched to your and our requirements by our European manufacturers. This is how we achieve top quality for net branding.
Why we always create a design sketch
Not every logo is suitable for a net structure. Unlike solid PVC banners, a net has construction-related mesh openings. Therefore, the logo should be applied to the net in a color that offers the best contrast – usually a white coating on a black net or vice versa.
✓ Ideal for nets
- Bold, easy-to-read fonts
- Large-scale logos
- Maximum contrast
✗ Unsuitable for nets
- Filigree lines or small details (fall through the mesh)
- Reddish tones (insufficient UV protection for outdoor use)
- Cluttered, multi-part graphics
Please also consider the effect of translucency: A catch net looks slightly translucent depending on the viewing angle. In addition, the colors behind the net (environment color) mix with the logo. A white logo may look different in front of a light-colored background than against a dark setting.
Please send us your logo as a vector graphic in PDF format. Vectors can be scaled to any required size without loss of quality – a basic requirement for the production of large-format net branding.
