For businesses like cafes, retail stores, or service shops, adding a customer’s logo to receipts isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a way to boost brand recognition, build customer loyalty, and make every transaction feel personalized. A common question we get from global clients at Zhongshan Huangsheng Electronics (our 10-year-old foreign trade factory specializing in thermal printers) is: “Can your printers add custom logos to receipt paper?” Today, we’re here to give a clear, enthusiastic answer: Absolutely yes!
Our thermal printers—from the compact HS-EC58 to the versatile HS-802—are designed to support custom logo printing on receipts with minimal effort. No extra hardware, no complicated coding, and no hidden fees—just a few simple steps to turn ordinary receipts into branded assets. Let’s break down how it works, which printers are compatible, and why this feature matters for your business.
Before we dive into “how,” let’s talk about “why”—because logo printing isn’t just about aesthetics:
-
Brand recall: Every time a customer keeps a receipt (for returns, warranties, or records), your logo reminds them of your business. A study by the National Retail Federation found that branded receipts increase repeat purchases by 18%—small details like logos make a big difference.
-
Professionalism: Receipts with clear logos look more trustworthy than plain text. For B2B clients (e.g., a restaurant supplying office catering), a logo on the receipt reinforces your status as a legitimate, established vendor.
-
Customization for clients: If you’re a reseller or offer white-label services, adding your customer’s logo to receipts (instead of just yours) shows you prioritize their brand too. For example, a POS system reseller can print their restaurant client’s logo on receipts—making your service more valuable.
The best part about our printers is that logo printing is user-friendly—you don’t need to be a tech expert. Here’s the standard process, which works for all our thermal receipt printers:
First, get your logo in a compatible format. Our printers work best with:
- File types: PNG (preferred, for transparent backgrounds) or JPG
- Resolution: 203dpi (matching our printers’ native resolution—ensures no blurriness)
- Size: Adjust to fit your receipt width (e.g., 50-80mm wide for standard 58mm/80mm receipt paper—avoid making it too big, or it will crowd text).
If you need help resizing your logo, our team can provide a free logo optimization tool (available in English) to tweak the file for perfect printing.
We provide a free, easy-to-use software called “Hangsheng Receipt Designer” (compatible with Windows/Mac) that lets you add logos in 2 clicks. Here’s how:
- Download and install the software from our website (no registration required).
- Open a new receipt template (or edit your existing one).
- Click “Add Image,” select your logo file, and drag it to your preferred position (top of the receipt, bottom, or next to your business name).
- Save the template—your logo is now part of every receipt.
If you prefer to use your existing POS software (e.g., Square, Shopify POS, or Toast), our printers are fully compatible. Just upload your logo to the POS system’s “receipt settings” tab, and the printer will automatically print it—no extra setup needed.
Load your thermal receipt paper into the printer, run a test print, and check the logo:
- Is it clear? (If not, adjust the resolution to 203dpi.)
- Does it fit the receipt width? (Resize if it’s cut off.)
- Is the position right? (Drag it in the software to move it.)
That’s it—your receipts will now print with the logo every time, no further adjustments needed.
You don’t need to buy a “special model” to get logo functionality—every thermal receipt printer we make at Zhongshan Huangsheng Electronics supports it, including:
-
HS-EC58 (lockable/non-lockable receipt printer): Perfect for retail self-checkouts and cafes.
-
HS-802 (versatile receipt/label printer): Great for businesses that print both receipts and small labels (with logos).
-
HS-QR26 (triple-interface receipt printer): Ideal for industrial or legacy POS systems—still prints logos seamlessly.
All printers use direct thermal technology, so the logo won’t fade over time (even if the receipt is stored for months). For clients who need extra durability (e.g., restaurants with oily hands or warehouses with dust), we also offer waterproof thermal paper that keeps logos sharp longer.
When you choose our printers for logo printing, you’re not just getting a device—you’re getting a partner with a decade of experience:
-
Global compatibility: Our software and printers work in every country (CE, FCC, RoHS certified) and support multiple languages (English, Spanish, German, French) for easy setup.
-
Free support: If you get stuck adding your logo, our 24/7 English-speaking team can help via email, video call, or even remote desktop—we’ll walk you through every step.
-
No hidden costs: The logo printing feature is free (no subscriptions, no extra licenses) because we believe basic branding tools should be accessible.
Adding a customer’s logo to receipts shouldn’t be hard—and with our printers, it isn’t. Whether you’re a small café wanting to print your logo or a reseller adding your client’s brand to receipts, Zhongshan Huangsheng Electronics’ printers make it simple, fast, and effective.
