How Much Workwear Do You Really Need?

A question that we often get asked is how much clothing should be supplied to each member of the team. Whilst there’s not a hard and fast answer to this, there are some things to take into consideration when deciding.

The first thing to remember is that workwear is an investment for your business for many reasons. Good quality workwear that carries your brand gives a great impression to your customers and future clients. Providing your staff with the right clothing for their working environment will keep them comfortable and safe.

It’s important to consider the environment in which the garments are going to be worn. Will it be a clean office, a dirty workshop or subject to all sorts of weather outdoors? The latter two of these would likely mean that garments need to be washed more often, an important consideration if you want your staff to always have enough clean clothes available.

You also need to consider how your chosen uniforms will be branded. Whilst printing is the least costly option, it’s not particularly hard-wearing, and lot’s of washing will eventually take its toll. The best solution for robust branding is to have your logo embroidered

So what might the ideal employee uniform quantities look like considering all of the above? Here we give a few suggestions for a number of employee profiles.
