Considering Embroidery on Your Uniforms

When considering incorporating the embroidery of your company logo onto your uniform, it will require more than just deciding if it will fit in the budget. You will need to decide if it enhances your overall company appearance. After all, that is the primary reason for considering it to begin with. Every time one of your employees are on the road or in front of a potential customer, their uniform should be reinforcing your overall company message - professional, reputable, trustworthy, knowledgeable. In addition to All Uniform Wear having their own digital studio and embroidery factory to assure quality, they also provide on the spot embroidery at every single one of their retail locations and they have uniform experts to help with your uniform embroidery decisions.

Some of the decisions that need to be made when choosing to personalize uniforms with embroidery are listed below.

PAYMENT

One of the first decisions to be made is who will be paying for the uniform; will the employees or company pay for and own the uniforms. Some companies choose to have the employee pay all or part and then reimburse the employee after a specified amount of being employed or at termination when uniforms are turned in. Cost often affects this decision. An embroidered ball cap may be paid for by the employer and kept by the employee upon termination while specially embroidered suit jackets or embroidered mechanic coveralls may not.

LOGO

Though a logo may cost more to have put on the uniform initially (set up costs), it can be worth it for branding, image development, and advertising. A logo should be put on the uniforms to quickly identify an employee as part of your team. A logo on a uniform can affect employee behavior because they know they are easily identified as part of the company and will often behave more professionally.

COLOR

The color of the embroidery should match the company color scheme of its website or existing logo. Colors selected should stand out against the color of the material of the uniform. Options available can be discussed with your uniform expert at All Uniform Wear. There are a large number of color options to choose from to select the right shade to stand out on the uniform.

FONT

The font is the lettering style that the name of the company or other information will be embroidered in. Select a font that compliments the image of the company. Stick with a plain font (Arial, Veranda, etc.) for a more professional image or a whimsical font (Jokerman, Kid Stuff, etc.) for a more fun image.
