1. Choose the Right Garments for Your Needs

Start by thinking about what your team actually needs for their day-to-day work. This depends on your industry, weather conditions, and visibility requirements.

Common options include:

• Hi-vis waistcoats and jackets for safety and compliance

• Polos and T-shirts for everyday wear

• Hoodies and sweatshirts for colder months

• Caps and gilets for added comfort or branding

Look for garments that are durable and comfortable, especially if they’ll be worn daily.

2. Decide on Branding Type: Embroidery vs. Print

Next, you’ll choose how your logo will be added to the clothing. The two most common methods are:

• Embroidery: Best for a more professional or long-lasting finish. Great for polos, jackets, and thicker fabrics.

• Print: Usually more cost-effective and ideal for larger or more detailed designs. Often used on T-shirts, hi-vis, or lightweight materials.

Both options have their place, it often comes down to preference and budget.

3. Prepare and Upload Your Logo

When placing your order, you’ll usually be asked to upload your logo file. It's best to use a high-resolution file, ideally in PNG or vector format. Some suppliers may help you convert it if needed.

You’ll also choose the placement, the left chest is the most common, but some garments allow for back prints or sleeve embroidery too.

We quote separate for back embroidery or print and have an option for this on our website.

4. Production and Delivery Times

Once everything is confirmed, your order moves into production. At Stackd, for example, the turnaround is typically 8–10 working days from approval. Most suppliers will give you an estimated delivery date at checkout.

Some offer free delivery over a certain order value or discounts for larger quantities.

5. Review and Wear

When your order arrives, it’s a good idea to check that everything looks right, especially the logo placement, colours, and sizing.

If you’re ordering for a team, make sure to distribute and test for fit before committing to a larger order in the future.

Final Thoughts

Ordering custom workwear online doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you know what you need and how the process works, it becomes a straightforward way to present a more consistent, professional image, whether you're on-site, in-store, or on the road.
