If you would share this information with us, using our experience and knowledge we will be able to advise on what sort of products to use.

When choosing an item please conceder the size of the decorated area. The smaller item, the smaller decoration area will be.

Also, less colours and positions of decoration will reduce the cost of the item

It is important to identify if the clothing items you choosing are uniform nature or just a promotional item.

If you’re looking to purchase a uniform item we would advise to choose products with a longer lifespan, comfort and also a product/colour that will be available in years to come as a stock item.

Alternatively, we can design a custom made uniform just for you!
