In general, embroidery is the most durable technique for polo shirts, shirts and jackets, and screen printing is the most cost-effective for T-shirts. If you already buy uniforms, Promopack beats your quote by at least 10% with the same garments.<\/p>\n<h2>Which garments should custom work uniforms include?<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Industry or role<\/th>\n<th>Typical garments<\/th>\n<th>Recommended decoration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Hospitality and caf\u00e9s<\/td>\n<td>Polo or T-shirt, apron, cap<\/td>\n<td>Embroidery on polo and apron<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Retail and customer service<\/td>\n<td>Polo, shirt, vest<\/td>\n<td>Chest embroidery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Logistics and warehouse<\/td>\n<td>T-shirt, sweatshirt, vest, softshell<\/td>\n<td>Screen printing or reflective vinyl on the back<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maintenance and construction<\/td>\n<td>Work pants, overalls, jacket<\/td>\n<td>Embroidery or durable transfer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Office and reception<\/td>\n<td>Shirt, blouse, jacket<\/td>\n<td>Discreet embroidery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>See every option under <a href=\"https:\/\/promopack.net\/en\/merchandise\/custom-workwear\/\">custom workwear<\/a> and, for promotional garments, under <a href=\"https:\/\/promopack.net\/en\/merchandise\/custom-apparel\/\">custom apparel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Embroidery, screen printing or DTF on workwear?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Embroidery<\/strong>: the most professional finish and the one that best survives industrial washing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Screen printing<\/strong>: very durable flat colors; cost-effective for T-shirts and medium and large runs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DTF and transfer<\/strong>: full-color logos, names and numbers, even in small quantities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reflective vinyl<\/strong>: so the logo or text is visible in low light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the garments must meet a hi-vis or protective standard, the decoration is applied to garments that already carry their certification, respecting the areas the standard requires.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you manage sizes, names and reorders?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make a list per person<\/strong>: name, role, garments and the size of each one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Order a size sample<\/strong> if you change garment style: sizes vary between manufacturers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep a uniform spec sheet<\/strong>: references, colors, position and embroidery file.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan reorders<\/strong>: keep a small stock of common sizes for new hires.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How do you pay less for uniforms?<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest cost is the base garment, followed by the decoration.
