Employee uniforms are not just a logo placement decision. They need to work through a shift, fit a range of people, and be simple to reorder when someone joins the team. A short planning pass before ordering saves rework later.
Choose garments for the work, not the mockup
Start with the job: indoor or outdoor work, movement, layering, laundering, and any safety or dress-code requirements. Then choose a garment that makes sense for that use. A polo, tee, button-up, sweatshirt, cap, or jacket each creates a different logo-placement conversation.
Prepare a reusable logo package
Keep the approved logo files, colors, decoration size, and placement notes together. A reusable file package makes later orders easier to compare with the original, especially if multiple garment types are involved.
Collect sizes and define the reorder process
Use a named size list for the initial order. Decide who can approve future orders, whether the same garment will remain available, and what to do if a style changes. A good reorder plan is part of the first order, not an afterthought.
Review the proof as an operations document
Check garment color, logo placement, spelling, sizes, quantities, and deadlines before approval. The goal is not merely a good-looking image; it is a record that matches the order you expect to receive.
For logo-focused garments, compare embroidery with screen printing. For a broader project brief, use this custom-printing workflow guide.
Frequently asked question
What details should be in a uniform reorder note?
Include the garment style and color, the approved decoration method, logo placement and size, the employee’s size, quantity, and desired date. That makes a later order easier to verify against the original.
