The Complete Uniform Printing Guide

Selecting the right work uniforms is a critical decision that can directly impact both employee comfort and a brand’s professionalism. You might be outfitting a small team or kitting out a large organisation, but the right uniform can enhance productivity, reinforce brand identity and foster team spirit. Here’s Teesh’s complete guide to help you choose the perfect uniform styles for your business:

Prioritise Comfort and Durability

When selecting blank garments for uniforms, comfort should be paramount. Employees often wear these garments for extended periods, so choosing breathable fabrics like 100% cotton or cotton blends is key. Durability is also crucial in both blanks selection and print method choice, particularly in industries like construction or hospitality. Workwear needs to withstand regular wear and tear.

Choose the Right Style for your Industry

Different industries require different uniform styles. For example, in corporate settings, custom polo shirts will be appropriate, while industries such as retail or hospitality might benefit from practical aprons, trending style crewnecks or a classic tee. Always consider the specific needs of your sector to ensure functionality.

Sometimes, simple is effective. Here’s an example:

Focus on Branding

Uniforms are a powerful tool for branding your business. Embroidered logos or custom printing can showcase your business’s professional image really effectively and enhance brand recognition. Ensure your logo placement is visible, and choose colours that align with your brand identity. Customised uniforms help raise awareness to your business and can leave a lasting impression on clients, staff and prospects.

Plan for Department-Specific Uniforms

For larger organisations, creating department-specific uniforms can further enhance your company’s professional image. This is particularly useful for businesses with customer-facing roles, where clear differentiation helps customers identify the right staff member to approach.
