Option with print and embroidery.
Posted by mark taylor on 9th Nov 2023
If you're considering a combination of both print and embroidery for your office staff uniforms, here's how you can incorporate both elements:
1. Determine the design elements: Decide which parts of the uniform you want to have embroidered and which parts you want to have printed. For example, you might choose to have your company logo embroidered on the chest or sleeve, while having the employee's name and position printed on the back.
2. Design the logo and print graphics: Create or modify your logo to be suitable for embroidery, ensuring it has clear lines and limited colour gradients. For the printed graphics, work with a graphic designer to design the text, names, and positions that will be printed on the uniform.
3. Choose the uniform style: Select a uniform style that works well with both embroidery and printing. Consider factors such as fabric type, colour, and the placement of the logo and print areas.
4. Find a reputable embroidery and printing service: Look for a service provider that offers both embroidery and printing services. Ensure they have experience working with uniforms and can provide high-quality results for both techniques.
5. Provide the necessary details: Share your logo design, preferred size, and placement for the embroidered elements with the embroidery service provider. For the printed elements, provide the text, names, and positions to be printed, along with any specific font or style requirements.
6. Choose thread colours and print colours: Select thread colours that match your branding or complement the uniform fabric for the embroidery. For the print colours, ensure they are cohesive with the overall design and easily readable.
7. Review and approve samples: Before proceeding with a full order, request samples of both the embroidered logo and the printed graphics on the chosen uniform fabric. Evaluate the quality and make any necessary adjustments before proceeding with mass production.
8. Place your order: Once you are satisfied with the samples, provide the final quantity and size specifications to the service provider. Confirm the timeline and delivery details.
9. Communicate guidelines to staff: Clearly communicate the dress code guidelines to your office staff, including when and how the uniforms should be worn. Provide any necessary instructions for maintenance and care.
Combining embroidery and printing can offer a visually appealing and versatile option for your office staff uniforms. It allows you to showcase your logo with embroidery while providing personalized information or additional graphics through printing.
