Corporate Workwear Things To Consider During
Selection
  • WORKWEAR

2
Things you need to keep in mind when choosing
corporate workwear.
  • Corporate workwear is the clothing that employees
    or staff wear daily to work. It can be defined as
    the actual uniform specified by companies or
    brands. Corporate workwear is very diverse. It
    can have printed logos or embroidered logos. It
    can also have a message written on it. Uniforms
    can be designed in a variety of ways. They can be
    casual, and they can be strictly professional.
    The options and choices are endless.
  • We have curated a guide to help you navigate
    through the process of choosing workwear for your
    employees. Our guide will help you out no matter
    what you choose as your brands uniform. Heres
    what you need to keep in mind when designing
    corporate workwear.

Practicality
  • You need to keep in mind whether your employees
    will be able to carry out their daily tasks when
    wearing the uniform. So, before you move on to
    the fun and exciting stuff, including the colour
    scheme, and logo design you need to consider the
    uniforms practicality and whether they will be a
    hindrance for your employees?
  • It is your responsibility as the employer to make
    sure that your employees get all the essentials
    they need, and you are also responsible for PPE
    and management of safety wear. Any wrong decision
    can put your employees at risk of illness or
    injury.
  • Keep in mind that your workers need to be able to
    do their job without feeling uncomfortable.
    Research has proven that practical and
    comfortable uniforms have direct positive effects
    on mental health and make people prideful about
    the way they think about their workplace.

Logo Size Location
  • If you want a specific logo on the workwear you
    need to decide how prominent you want it to be.
    Decide on the design of the logo and the garment
    and where do you want to place it. These options
    can be influenced by the type of garment. You can
    place the logo on the left side of the shirt or
    the right side, left arm, right arm, right leg,
    left leg, or the nape of the neck.
  • When making all the above-mentioned decisions you
    also need to bear in mind that different types of
    PPE and workwear have different branding areas
    with different sizes and levels of difficulty
    when it comes to printing and embroidery.

5
Logo Colour Complexity
  • Once you know where you want your logo and what
    size should it be, you need to consider how easy
    or difficult is your logo going to be to work
    with, and whether it requires a single colour or
    a combination of colours.
  • Brainstorm ideas and decide what different
    elements do you want in your logo. Your logo will
    play a big role in your brand messaging. So, in
    the light of that, decide if you want any
    additional promotional messages to be on your
    employees workwear.

6
Product Sizes Quantities
  • You also need to keep the size and quantity of
    the uniform in consideration and decide if you
    want to store some spare stock. It is better to
    organise a stock take before you place your order
    with any supplier. Make a list of every corporate
    uniform item you need and also include the stock
    levels you need.
  • It would be easier to do this if you keep a
    detailed inventory to help you break down the
    stock by size. This way you can have a clear
    estimate of what you already have and what you
    need and how many of each item you will need. You
    will also have to ask your employees what sizes
    they need and make a record of it to integrate it
    into your ordering procedure.

7
Fabric Choice
  • Fabric is a very crucial element in corporate
    workwear. When deciding to order a uniform, make
    sure that it looks professional and fits the job
    description. Depending on the type of work you
    do, keep the safety and health regulations in
    mind. If you specialise in heavy-duty work, then
    you will have to look at clothing options that
    can bear harsh conditions, such as reduced
    visibility, heat, rain, cold weather, and flames.
    You can even have the logo embroidered using
    fire-resistant thread.
  • If the above-mentioned conditions do not apply to
    your work, then you can just focus on the care,
    durability, and comfort of the fabric, so the
    corporate workwear you design does not negatively
    affect your staffs productivity and morale.
  • For starters, if you want to design polo
    shirts and t-shirts, then cotton is a good
    choice. Choose moisture-wicking fabric if your
    employees are required to work in a hot
    environment. If presentation is vital for you,
    then go for polyester because it has
    wrinkle-resistant properties.

Budget
  • We cant deny the fact that workwear has a key
    role in your companys image and branding. Where
    it is crucial to invest in long-lasting and
    high-quality uniforms, it is also equally
    important to consider your budget and how much
    you can afford to invest.
  • Of course, you will have to make a substantial
    initial investment, but you also need to plan for
    the future. You will have to budget the
    probability of expanding and taking on new
    starters beforehand.
  • Select only the absolute necessary items you
    need, to design workwear, and if needed you can
    draw extra budget from other departments to cover
    the initial investment. Once you know how much
    you will have to spend you can make a budget
    accordingly.

Branding Service
  • You will also have to make a decision about the
    method you want to design the uniforms. What do
    you need? Embroidery, transfer printing, digital
    printing, or screen printing? The costs and the
    time will vary with each.
  • Embroidery 
  • You can embroider up to 14 different colours in
    your design.
  • The freedom to choose from over 1000 threads.
  • It works well with the majority of bags, shoes,
    and clothes.
  • Transfer Printing 
  • Transfer printing can work with full-colour CMYK
    on any size of the order.
  • It is fit for medium and small-sized orders.
  • It is perfect for individually named garments and
    print areas that are tough to access.

10
  • Digital Printing
  • Choose this method if you want to order lower
    quantities.
  • Works well on sweatshirts, t-shirts, and hoodies.
  • It is ideal for colourful, detailed, and complex
    designs.
  • Screen Printing
  • Screen printing does not fade with time.
  • The minimum order that you can place varies from
    service to service. 
  • It delivers the most vibrant designs and colours.

11
Ask for Your Employees Opinion
  • Your employees are the ones who will eventually
    wear the uniform you design for them. So it is
    very important that you consider their opinion
    and ask them what they want. Let them tell you
    what kind of styles, colours, and other factors
    they would like in their workwear. This way they
    will not only feel included but will also be more
    satisfied with the final output.

12
Choose the Best
  • Instead of going for a cheap option that wont
    last long, it is better to invest in something
    expensive that lasts long and feels comfortable.
    When considering corporate workwear, make good
    quality materials your first priority and pick
    materials that appear stylish but are also finely
    tailored. The workwear should give the impression
    of professionalism whenever someone sees your
    employees wearing their uniforms.
  • On a related note, do not compromise on the
    quality either. Do not make an appearance and
    style your only focus. Choose the best fabric.
    Choose cotton for comfort and softness, go for
    polyester for less wrinkling and shrinkage, chose
    canvas for durability and a rugged look, quilt
    for insulation and warmth, and twill for
    tradespeople.

13
Conclusion
  • So, pick the highest quality and select what
    quality corporate workwear that best represents
    your business. You can make the uniform as
    diverse as you want, or you can make the same
    workwear for everyone.
  • The best way to deal with this is to choose only
    the most necessary items you need and try to save
    as much as you can to, so you can spend and
    budget your money for future use. If it helps,
    you can make a list of the elements you need and
    all the factors that you need to consider. And
    then work accordingly. Best of luck!
