The Advantages of Imprinted Workwear and Corporate Apparel

Imprinted workwear and corporate apparel have many perks when compared to blank, unimprinted workwear.  When I say workwear, I'm talking about any type of clothing, jackets and outerwear, uniforms, safety gear, aprons, scrubs, lab coats, hats and hard hats, etc... basically anything that you buy (or is supplied by your company) that you wear to work.  So what's the big deal?  Does it really matter if your company's name or logo is printed on the polo you wear to work each day?  Here are three good reasons to go with the imprinted corporate apparel or workwear as opposed to their plain old counterparts.

1. Self Worth:  Employees like to feel needed, and they like to feel as though they are valued by their employer.  When employees are given a uniform or workwear freshly embroidered or screen printed with your company's logo, it gives them more of a sense of belonging.  If you're a company that values its workers, those workers will be proud to wear the company logo.  This sense of self worth is taken to yet another level when the workwear or uniform is personalized.  That's to say that the employee's name is printed along with the company name or logo.  When an employee feels valued and knows they are an important piece of the puzzle, they will put forth a superior effort, every single time. 2. Advertising:  When your company has its logo imprinted on uniforms or workwear, it suddenly becomes multi-functional.  Not only is the workwear serving its purpose as a uniform or protection from work hazards or the elements, it is now a walking billboard.  Every time an employee wearing the imprinted apparel comes into contact with somebody outside the organization, whether it be a customer or just someone they pass on the street on their way to or from work, you are putting your company's name in front of many people every day.  And some of those people are potential customers. 3. Presentation:  A nicely decorated polo, jacket, or cap just looks better than blank apparel.  You took the time to design an innovative, impactful logo, so why not add a creative punch to your company's uniforms, aprons or workwear by decorating it with that catchy logo?  Make it pop!

Reasons to have your employees wear uniforms

Employers are opting to clothe their employees in uniforms for a variety of reasons. Perception and image is vitally important in the business world. If your employees are dressed alike, in a readily identifiable uniform, the perception is one of professionalism, organization, reliability and consistency.

An interesting fact that reveals the benefit of why employees wear uniforms is that gardeners and landscapers who wear work uniforms tend to get paid more per hour than their competitors who are not wearing company uniforms. When a company opts for its employees to wear a uniform, the uniform is considered "corporate clothing."

A good reason for dressing your employees in a uniform that sports a visible logo and the name of the employee as well as the name of the company is that it tells the customer who the employee is and who he is working for.

If you look like you know what you are doing -- which is the perception that a uniform imparts -- you will garner more respect and more business. First impressions can mean a lot in the business world, which is the primary reason why employees wear uniforms.

There are several reasons why an employer may want to opt for uniforms, including providing consistency among the staff so that the staff looks like a cohesive unit. The uniform that you select for your staff should accurately reflect your brand and your company, as well as the corporate identify. A uniform should be practical so that the employee has ease of movement, can reach, bend and tend to customer needs. Pockets and tabs are important to consider.

The uniforms you select should be comfortable, attractive and easy to launder as well as durable, practical and long-lasting. Your staff may greatly appreciate the introduction of uniforms into the workplace. This eliminates the daily hassle of figuring out what to wear and it will also save them money because they no longer have to buy work clothes.

The color of the uniforms that you choose should be very visible and easily identifiable as should be the logo. Another reason to opt for colorful and noticeable employee uniforms is that a colorful uniform can actually make customers or patients happy. When nurses wear scrubs that sport a familiar pattern or beautiful colors, patients respond to that. Children perceive nurses who are wearing colorful and patterned scrubs as friendlier and less scary. Hospitals often require different uniforms or scrubs for different departments. This makes it easier for someone to identify a maternity ward nurse from an ER nurse.

If your business routinely interacts with customers and other businesses you may discover that another reason for why employees wear uniforms is that they are a good way to promote your company brand as well as enhance your professional image and this is a great incentive for having your employees decked out in uniforms.

The type of uniform you choose for your employees depends on the type of business you are in. An upscale company may opt for a more formal looking uniform whereas a company that sells beach items would go for a casual looking uniform. Dress for your clientele.

Implementing a corporate wardrobe, or uniform, is believed to build productivity within a company as well as team spirit. A uniform allows authorized company personnel, such as security guards, to be quickly and readily identified. The image of the compnay is improved when its staff appears to be clean, professional and unified.

Requiring your employees to wear uniforms eliminates fashion competition and inappropriate garb. That is one less thing that your human resources department will have to deal with.

If all of your employees are wearing a uniform, including the brass, this promotes a feeling of equality, which is good for employee self esteem. This is a bottom-line reason why employees wear uniforms: content employees have higher productivity rates and greater job satisfaction. A uniform can make an employee feel as though he truly belongs to an organization, which is important.

Choose Good Quality Aprons for a Smart Look

To get good quality Aprons one should look for style, comfort and durability. These are essential for people in the hospitality business and in shops so that their clothes do not get soiled and it is also convenient to move around the workplace.

Different Designs and Shades Available

It is wiser to wear an apron made from wrinkle free material so that one does not need to worry about it getting crumpled during work. Some professions like that of a chef, waiter, laboratory personnel and shop assistant require the individuals to wear protective aprons so that their clothes remain free of stains.  Instead of cotton which tends to get crushed, one can opt for spun poly because the material is wrinkle free and easy to maintain. Though spun poly materials cost more than cotton, they are long lasting as the cloth is durable. The material is easy to maintain and can be easily washed, dried and pressed for a smooth wrinkle free look. Also the colour does not run from such material even during the first wash. Depending on the nature of the work and the kind of protection required, one can choose from various designs when buying aprons. The length can be short like a waist length skirt or long for extra protection of the wearer’s trousers. One can also opt for a bib style apron which offers greater protection for a chef’s profession. Also one can have pockets in the sides or one big one in the middle for keeping a kitchen napkin. One can also choose from a variety of shades and designs but generally dark, solid shades are preferred at the workplace for a formal look and also so that stains are not prominent. Search for a Good Wholesale Dealer

Restaurant owners can search on the internet for companies which have wholesale business in aprons. One should see the various designs and colors of aprons available with them on their website. Also the cost of each type can be found on the site so that the choice can be made according to one’s budget. Though a spun poly apron may be more expensive, it is a better choice as it will last much longer than a cotton one and will also be easy to maintain. Also spun poly material gives a better formal look at the workplace where one cannot afford to wear crumpled clothing. The restaurant owner or manager can contact the company by phone at the numbers given in the website to clear any doubts regarding the material. Comfort is also essential when choosing clothing for people who need to be on the move always. Cotton material is bulky and stiff whereas spun poly Aprons fall well on the clothes and do not stand out as an extra piece of cloth. This provides greater comfort especially for professionals like waiters who are always on their toes. By placing a bulk order with a suitable supplier, one can even get a discount on the total cost. It is best to contact the wholesale dealer directly for the best price and not any middleman when placing bulk orders.

By choosing good quality aprons one can ensure smart attire for his employees at the best price.

What Is the Importance of Business Uniforms?

Creating a uniform for an employee can be as simple as placing an embroidered logo on professional-looking garments.

Uniforms for Corporate Branding

Asking employees to wear distinctive uniforms in the colors associated with the company can go a long way in establishing an impression in the mind of the consumer. Uniforms identify workers as individuals who are associated with a company and its products, and they help to brand the company by distinguishing it from the competition. Consistency in employee appearance can create a positive impression on the customer and contribute to projecting the corporate image.

Uniforms for Projecting Competence

Uniforms can enable customers to identify employees in a store setting, eliminating the possibility of a customer erroneously asking a fellow consumer for help. Employees wearing a uniform inspire confidence in the consumer by announcing that the individual is a professional with product knowledge and a willingness to help. A uniform puts the force of the corporate reputation behind the individual, making him look reliable and trustworthy as a company representative.

Uniforms to Promote Security

Just as a police uniform identifies a law officer, a uniform can identify an employee who is out in the field making a service call or delivery to a customer’s home. Uniforms can also ease the mind of people handing over their keys when their car needs servicing, or when taking advantage of valet parking at a restaurant.

Uniforms to Eliminate Dress Codes

Requiring employees to wear a uniform eliminates the need for creating and enforcing a dress code. In years past employees would usually wear similar, conservative clothing, but in today’s world workers tend to express their individuality through clothing. Enforcing a dress code is time consuming and can lead to hard feelings on the part of employees who are told that their attire is not appropriate for the workplace

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus :

  The Galaxy S6 edge+ enters the market as the de-facto flagship for Samsung in Europe and many other markets where the Note 5 will not be officially sold. As such, it's only natural we compare the Galaxy S6 edge+ vs the Apple iPhoen 6 Plus - the current Apple flagship phablet device. The S6 edge+ has the slightly larger display, but it trumps the iPhone 6 Plus when it comes to resolution: the S6 edge+ is a 5.7" Quad HD phone, while the iPhone 6 Plus has got a 5.5-inch 1080p screen.

How can we test washing machines to pick out best one

That's an example of how machines can vary, but what else do we look for in washing machine? Every washing machine we review is thoroughly tested and is evaluated and rated based on nine specific criteria:

Design and Ease of Use – This is where we look for style and simplicity. If your washing machine takes up a prominent space in your kitchen then it had best look good. We also look for simple, easy to understand controls.

Washing Quality – As shown above, we put all of our washing machines to the test against a test strain strip of wine, coffee, blood, ketchup, fruit juice and engine oil, always using the same, branded non-bio washing detergent.

Spin Efficiency – We weigh clothes before and after each wash to determine how much water has remained. Too much water still residing in your clothes means they’ll take an age to dry, which is just plain irritating.

Noise – We measure the noise in decibels for every machine during it spin and wash cycles and compare it to the manufacturer claims. We also keep an ear out for knocking noises that will prove distracting.

Running Costs and Value – We calculate the approximate annual running cost based on typical UK usage for every machine using full, half loads and eco modes. We also look at whether the machine is good value based on the features and performance on offer compared to other machines at the same price.
