Choose the Right Decoration for the Job
Embroidery is the workwear standard: a premium, textured finish that survives industrial washing and daily wear for years. Ideal for polos, softshells, fleeces and anything worn every day.
Screen printing delivers bold, vibrant branding at excellent per-unit prices on runs of 25 and above—the right choice for t-shirts, event wear and large back prints with your company name and number.
DTG printing reproduces detailed, multi-colour artwork on smaller quantities.
Most workwear orders combine methods—an embroidered chest logo with a printed back panel is the classic setup—and we will advise on the best combination for your artwork and budget.
Garments That Earn Their Keep
Workwear is bought to be worn hard. We stock proven garments from trusted brands across every price point: heavyweight polos and tees that keep their shape, sweatshirts and hoodies for comfort, softshells and jackets for outdoor work, plus hi-vis options where visibility is required. Organic and sustainable ranges are available for businesses that want their workwear to match their values.
Mixed orders are standard—different garments for different roles, all branded consistently, in whatever size spread your team needs.
From First Order to Every Reorder
Your first order sets everything up: artwork digitised, thread colours matched, placements agreed. After that, reordering is effortless—new starters, replacements or a growing team just need sizes and quantities, and every garment matches the original run. That consistency is what turns a batch of printed shirts into a company uniform.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for custom workwear?
No strict minimum—we handle orders from as few as 10 pieces, and sole traders are welcome. Screen printing becomes most economical from around 25 units.
Should I choose embroidery or printing?
For daily-wear garments like polos and jackets, embroidery lasts longest and looks most professional. Printing suits t-shirts, large designs and bigger runs. Many customers combine both in one order.
Can you match our brand colours?
Yes. We use Pantone colour matching for printing, match embroidery thread to your brand palette, and can source garments in specific colours to fit your guidelines.
How quickly can we get branded workwear?
Standard turnaround is 7–10 working days from artwork approval, with rush options available. Reorders using saved artwork are just as quick.
