Embroidered Workwear: Your Guide to Custom, Professional Branding

Embroidered workwear is more than just a uniform; it's a powerful tool that builds brand identity and promotes unity within your team. Whether you run a corporate office, a restaurant, or a healthcare facility, embroidered uniforms offer durability, professionalism, and a customized look that sets your business apart. Discover the impact embroidered workwear can have on your brand and learn what makes it the best choice for companies aiming for a polished, cohesive look.

What is Embroidered Workwear?


Embroidered workwear refers to customised work clothing that includes a company’s logo, name, or specific design elements directly stitched onto the fabric.

Unlike printed workwear, which can fade or peel over time, embroidered logos are stitched with high-quality thread, offering a longer-lasting and more professional appearance.

From branded polo shirts to embroidered aprons, this option ensures that your team represents your brand consistently and stylishly.

Ideal for both complex and minimal designs, embroidery is the perfect choice for any business looking to create a smart and professional branded uniform.

Benefits Of Embroidered Workwear 

Businesses can benefit from the many advantages offered by expertly embroidered uniforms and workwear.


Looks Professional

The finished result of having a logo stitched into a garment achieves a highly professional look, and is a great way to enhance your company's brand image. With a tactile look and feel, it ensures your brand gets noticed.


Practical & Durable

Workwear needs to be hard wearing, durable and long lasting. With the nature of embroidery, a logo physically stitched into a garment won't fade over time as a print alternative might.


Colourful

Our team will pantone match high-quality threads in colours that reflect your brand palette for vibrant, lasting embroidery.

Perfect for complex designs which require multiple colours, our embroidery machines can stitch up to 14 colours in one logo. Choose from over 1,000 threads with different finishes including Classic Threads, Metallic, Frosted Matte and even Fire Resistant Firefighter threads.


Versatile

Our team will work hard to ensure we can fulfil any special requests and will send a proof for your approval before we begin customisation.

You're free to customise your embroidered garments to your preferences, as we have a variety of different frames that allow us to embroider on a number of products in different positions and sizes.

The Embroidery Process

Step 1 

First the machine operator sets the vilene behind the garment to protect it during stitching, and then places the frame in the correct position, taking care to make sure it is lined up correctly.

Step 2

The machine operator then sets the frames in the machine and starts the embroidery run. Whilst the machine is running, the operator will frame the next set of garments.
