When researching all of your options regarding your corporate uniforms or custom t-shirts, you are likely to be confronted of a vast range of variables to choose from. Choosing items of embroidered clothing personalised to your company does not have to be a hard task. Below is a breakdown of the five main things you have to decide on when choosing quality promotional clothing for your company. High quality embroidered clothing is not hugely expensive and so should always be an option for any business.
Choosing garments for your custom t-shirts, jackets and workwear
The clothing you decide to order will reflect the need you have for it, your staff and your budget.
- Material – if you are placing an order for corporate uniforms you will want them to look good and also be durable enough to withstand everyday wear. Similarly, corporate workwear needs to be hardy cloth that won’t wear away with heavy use. It may also be a good idea to have corporate workwear made of a material that will keep your staff cool in warm conditions and warm if they are working outside in the cold. When choosing material it is also good to keep in mind whether you intend to embroider on it or print your logo or design, as thinner material will not stand up to the stress of being embroidered.
- Cut and design of the clothing – this is an important consideration. The look of the clothing your staff are to be wearing will directly affect your company’s image. As an example, if you run a solicitor’s firm and are looking for corporate uniforms for the assistants, secretaries and paralegals, and if you choose custom t-shirts it could do damage to your image. Prospective clients could see you as unprofessional based solely on appearance and first impressions. Corporate workwear and corporate sports clothing should leave the wearer room to move comfortably about as they do their jobs.
Should I go for embroidered clothing over a print?
Deciding what way to fix your logo or name onto the product is the next part of the process. For some types of clothing one may not be suitable for a number of reasons.
- Embroidered clothing – once you have decided on the type, cut and colour of your garment, it is time to decide on how you will be represented on it. Embroidered clothing is generally meant to last longer and can work out as more expensive than printing a logo on to the fabric. It is for this reason that you will rarely see embroidered clothing used as promotional t-shirts or being given away free. Some items such as custom made ties, corporate uniforms, corporate workwear and jackets will more commonly be items of embroidered clothing as having your logo stitched on makes it more durable, makes it look a lot better, and is stronger so will not come off with the rigours of manual work.
- Printed logos – these are perfect for use on custom t-shirts or other items made of thin fabric. Also ideal for items that are for a specific promotion as opposed to items of clothing meant for everyday wear. They are inexpensive compared to embroidered clothing but with that also comes a trade off in quality with printed logos fading or disappearing much quicker than an embroidered logo.
