Should You Place a Printed or Embroidered Logo on Your Work Uniforms?

Should You Place a Printed or Embroidered Logo on Your Work Uniforms?

Displaying the company’s logo or name on your uniforms will leave a professional impression on your customers and clients.

Uniforms definitely offer a long list of benefits, including fostering team spirit and promoting your company. When you’re due for a set of new uniforms, consider getting a set of branded uniforms. Displaying the company’s logo or name on your uniforms will leave a professional impression on your customers and clients as well. Adding a custom logo to your uniforms is almost always a great idea. The biggest consideration to make is whether you should print or embroider the logo or design onto your branded uniforms. Read on for a few tips on how to decide which method is the best for each of your uniform needs!

Work Settings

Although each business should strive to present themselves in a professional manner, different work settings will allow for various definitions of what is considered appropriate. Therefore, the design has to reflect the tone of your workplace. Printed logos and designs are more suitable for casual settings, like quick-service restaurants and college bars. Printing allows for bolder and bigger designs, which works for fun and lively food service. Conversely, a few businesses that need to uphold a more professional image, like up-scale chefs and customer service professionals, should go with a more refined and subdued embroidered design.

Wear and Tear Considerations

Your business should also consider the amount of wear and tear their uniforms would face in their own industry. Mechanic or construction uniforms are very prone to getting worn down, getting caught on parts, and could need frequent replacing. In this case, printed designs might only hold up for a short time since these uniforms will require consistent washing. Printed logos will yield more extensive and visible designs than embroidered ones. A smaller embroidered design might look more professional up close but could very quickly look worn out if the stitches become undone.

The Type of Fabric

T-shirts and other light and thin material clothing suit printed designs. Mostly, if the staff performs more physically demanding jobs, screen-printed uniforms are more cost-effective if you are anticipating replacing the garments. T-shirts have a lot of room on the back and front of the shirts to print bigger and bolder logos. Items of clothing that use heavier fabrics, such as polos, lab coats, or dress shirts, display embroidered designs much better and last longer. For professionals who are required to wear these kinds of garments, decorating the branded uniforms with some embroidery is more polished and professional looking.
