Can You Have More Than One Logo?

Yes. Depending on the garment, you can combine branding in different positions — for example, your company logo on the chest with additional branding on the back or sleeve. You can also add text personalisation, such as names, initials, job titles or other wording.

We’ll advise on the options available for your chosen garment and decoration method.

Can You See What Your Workwear Will Look Like Before You Order?

Yes. We’ll provide a visual to show how your branding will look on your chosen garment before production begins.  For embroidery, we’ll arrange for your logo to be digitised ready for stitching. For printed designs, we’ll provide a visual proof showing how your design will look on the garment.

You can check the branding and positioning before approving your order for production.

Your Customisation Questions Answered

What file do you need for my logo?

For the best results, vector artwork such as an AI, EPS or suitable PDF file is preferred. These formats allow your logo to be reproduced accurately at the required size.  Don't have the right file? Send us what you have and we'll let you know if it's suitable or whether anything else is needed.

Can you use my existing logo?

Yes. You don't need to create a new logo specifically for your clothing. We'll work from your existing brand artwork and advise on the most suitable way to reproduce it on your chosen garments.

Will my logo look the same on every garment?

Your branding will remain consistent, but the finished appearance can vary depending on the garment fabric, colour, decoration method and size of the logo.  We'll recommend the most suitable approach to make sure your branding looks right on the clothing you've chosen.

Should I choose embroidery or print?

It depends on your garments and the look you want to achieve.  Embroidery is often ideal for professional workwear and garments such as polos, fleeces, gilets and jackets. Print can be particularly effective for larger designs, T-shirts and garments where detail or colour is important.  If you're unsure, we can advise you on the best option.

Can I have my logo on the back?

Yes, back branding can be a great option for making your business more visible, particularly on workwear worn outdoors or when your team is working away from the office.  The size and positioning will depend on the garment and the type of decoration being used.

Can I combine embroidery and print?

In many cases, yes. Different decoration methods can be used across a workwear kit depending on the garment and the branding required.  For example, you might choose embroidered chest branding on polos and fleeces, with printed back branding on other garments.

Can I mix different garments, colours and sizes?

Yes. Our minimum order for embroidered or printed clothing is just 4 garments, allowing you to create a coordinated kit without having to order everything in the same style.  Mix polos, sweatshirts, fleeces, gilets and jackets, and choose the colours and sizes your team actually needs.
