Our services


Here at Essential Workwear we utilise a variety of branding methods to give company logos the look and feel they need.

Whether it’s an embroidered piece using one of our very latest Barudan machines, or a screen print using a bespokely generated template, we bring your workwear or PPE to life.

Embroidery

We use the very latest Barudan embroidery machines that can embroider at speeds of up to 1,100 stitches per minute.

Transfer printing

Transfer printing is the process of printing an image on a vinyl and then heat pressing that image at a high temperature onto your desired garment.

DTG digital printing

This is the process of printing a digital image directly onto a garment, a lot like an ink jet printer prints an image on to paper.

Screen printing

Screen printing involves making a screen – a little like a template – and repeatedly using that screen to apply ink to a garment.

Generally, the first step will be working with your logo or messaging to determine what we need to do to make it work. This is where we come to life with creativity, and will offer you suggestions to ensure the finished product is as strong as possible.

In terms of production, measures are in place across all of our factory lines to help guarantee a consistent standard of the highest quality. We’re always upgrading our equipment too, for example, we replace our machines every five years to ensure we have the latest technologies and techniques on the market.

Post-production teams will then check the products for faults in the workwear, stitching or prints. They will look for snags, loose threads, smudges and so on.

3. Shipping your order

All packaging and shipping is handled in-house by ourselves, and our large warehouse space allows us to turn around large orders in short timeframes. 

Delivery information 

Here at Essential Workwear, we make it a priority to keep you informed at each stage of the order process.

That’s why, when your order has been shipped we’ll notify you so that you know when to expect delivery.
