PPE and Workwear We Can Customise

The product, fabric and safety specification determine whether we can apply a logo and which branding method suits it. We confirm those details during your quotation.

Hi-Vis Vests, T-Shirts and Jackets

Add your company name or logo to selected hi-vis vests, tops, sweatshirts and outerwear. Heat press printing often suits hi-vis garments because it creates a clear logo without piercing the fabric.

We position branding away from reflective tape, labels and safety markings. Logo size and placement depend on the garment design and its manufacturer instructions.

Printed hi-vis can help identify

Employees and site teams
Contractors and authorised visitors
Event stewards and facilities staff
Job roles, departments or project crews

Hard Hats and Head Protection

Selected hard hats may support approved logo printing or decals in designated areas. We check the shell material and manufacturer guidance before confirming any customisation.

Unapproved inks, adhesives, drilling or surface treatments may affect the shell. We will not place branding over conformity marks, inspection information or other safety details. Where customisation does not suit the chosen helmet, we can discuss another model or supply the item without branding.

Safety Glasses and Eye Protection

Branding options for safety glasses depend on the frame, lens and manufacturer restrictions. Small print areas may limit logo detail and colour.

We assess selected products before accepting an order. If the eyewear cannot carry a logo, you can create a consistent team identity through branded polos, jackets or hi-vis garments worn alongside it.

Protective Gloves

Glove materials, coatings and safety markings limit the branding options available. We only propose customisation where the manufacturer permits it and the decoration will not cover required information.

For many teams, branded workwear provides a stronger logo area while task-specific gloves remain unaltered.

Branded Workwear

Build a workwear range around embroidered or printed

Polo shirts and T-shirts
Sweatshirts, hoodies and fleeces
Work jackets and softshells
Trousers and selected shorts
Hi-vis layers and weatherwear

We can help you coordinate garment colours, logo positions and sizing across a crew. Branded workwear supports a consistent appearance, while your risk assessment determines which certified PPE each role requires.

Flame-Resistant and Specialist Clothing

Specialist garments need extra care. A thread, transfer or logo position may affect the protection that a garment provides.

We check the garment specification and manufacturer instructions before recommending decoration. Some products may require an approved branding process, while others may need to remain undecorated.

PPE selected around the task

Choose Branded PPE for Your Work Environment

Your workplace risk assessment should set the PPE specification. Branding comes after you have chosen equipment that addresses the task, hazard and working conditions.

Construction and Trade Teams

Construction crews may need hi-vis clothing, head protection, gloves, eye protection and weather-resistant workwear. Role names or company branding can help site managers identify workers and subcontractors, subject to safe logo placement.

Warehousing and Logistics

Warehouse and distribution teams often use hi-vis vests, tops, safety footwear and gloves. Branded garments can separate employees from visitors or identify areas such as goods-in, dispatch and yard operations.

Utilities and Roadside Work

Roadside and utilities work may require high-visibility garments with a specific class or standard. The logo must not reduce the visible background material or cover reflective tape. Confirm the required garment specification before choosing a print position.

Facilities and Maintenance

Facilities teams often need work trousers, polos, jackets and task-specific PPE. Embroidered workwear can create a consistent uniform, while selected hi-vis layers support work around vehicles or shared service areas.

Events, Contractors and Site Visitors

Printed vests can help distinguish stewards, contractors and visitors. Choose wording that staff can read from a practical distance, then keep the print within a safe area away from reflective bands and labels.

Professional garment customisation

Embroidery or Heat Press Printing?

We offer professional embroidery and heat press printing. Your garment, logo and intended use guide our recommendation.

Embroidery

Embroidery suits many polos, sweatshirts, fleeces and work jackets. Stitched logos create a textured finish and withstand regular wear when the garment supports the process.

It may suit

Company logos on chest or sleeve positions
Staff names and job titles
Workwear with a stable fabric
Garments that need a classic uniform finish

Needle penetration and dense stitching can affect some waterproof, hi-vis or protective fabrics. We check garment compatibility before confirming embroidery.

Heat Press Printing

Heat press printing suits many T-shirts, hi-vis vests and garments that need bold text or detailed artwork. It can reproduce larger back designs and logos with several colours.

It may suit

High-visibility garments
Large company names or back prints
Detailed logos
Role identification and site wording

The fabric must tolerate heat and pressure. We also need enough clear space around reflective tape, seams, pockets and product markings.

Logo Placement

Common positions include the left chest, right chest, sleeve or upper back. Product construction may rule out some areas.

We will not place a logo over

Reflective tape or required visible material
Certification and conformity information
Care labels or manufacturer markings
Inspection fields or serial information
Safety-critical panels and components

From initial requirements to repeat orders

Our Custom PPE Ordering Process

Tell Us What You Need

Send us the product type, quantity, sizes and colours. Include your industry, work setting and required date if you want product-selection support.

Send Your Logo

Provide the highest-quality logo file you hold. Vector artwork often gives the cleanest result. A PDF, EPS or SVG may contain vector artwork, while a high-resolution image may suit some print work.

We assess the file, logo detail and colour requirements. If the artwork needs adjustment or embroidery digitisation, we explain the work and any charge before production.

Choose the Branding Position

Tell us where you want the logo and whether you prefer embroidery or heat press. We can recommend a method after checking the garment and artwork.

Confirm the Quote and Proof

We confirm the products, sizes, branding method, positions and costs. Where the order includes a visual proof or mock-up, check the logo, spelling, colours and placement before you approve it.

Production and Delivery

We schedule production after you approve the order and meet the payment terms on your quotation. Your product choice, stock status, quantity and branding work affect the lead time.

We supply customers across the UK. Ask us about delivery arrangements for your postcode and available service options in Willenhall or the West Midlands.

Reorder for New Starters and Replacements

Keep your previous order details or quote reference. We can use them to identify the garment, colour, branding method and logo setup for a repeat enquiry.

Manufacturers may change product ranges, colours or specifications. If the original item has become unavailable, we can help you find a comparable option and confirm any differences before you order.

Artwork Requirements

Send your original logo file where possible. We check

Image quality and logo detail
Print or embroidery colours
Small text and fine lines
Proposed dimensions and position
Garment colour and contrast

Embroidery may require us to convert your logo into a stitch file. Heat press artwork may need preparation for the chosen print process. We confirm any setup or artwork cost as part of your quote.

Minimum Order Quantities

Minimum quantities can vary by product and branding method. Tell us if you need a small starter order, a crew issue or stock for several sites. We will confirm the quantity requirements for the products you choose.

Quote Factors

Your final price depends on

Garment or PPE model
Total quantity and size range
Number of logo positions
Embroidery stitch count or print dimensions
Artwork colours and preparation
Delivery requirements

Ask for a full quote before setting your project budget. We will identify product, branding, artwork and delivery costs that apply to your enquiry.

Lead Times

Stock availability, order size, artwork approval and production capacity affect turnaround. Send us your required date at the start of the enquiry. We will confirm whether the schedule can support it before you commit.

Product suitability comes first

UK PPE Standards and Safe Branding

Your employer or responsible person must choose PPE through a workplace risk assessment. The assessment should consider the hazard, exposure, fit, compatibility with other equipment and conditions of use.

Check the standard, conformity information and manufacturer documentation for the exact product you plan to buy. Different PPE categories follow different requirements, and a standard that suits one task may not suit another.

Branding must leave safety features intact. We check proposed decoration against factors such as:

Reflective tape and visible background material
Manufacturer labels and conformity markings
Product instructions and inspection areas
Protective coatings, waterproof layers and specialist fabrics
The manufacturer’s permitted decoration zones

Branded clothing does not become certified PPE through the addition of a logo. A polo shirt with your company name remains workwear unless its product specification confirms a protective function. Ask us to confirm product details before ordering if your team needs PPE for a defined hazard.

Ordering and customisation questions

Custom Branded PPE FAQs

Can you add our logo to PPE?

We can add logos to selected PPE, hi-vis garments and workwear. The product material, manufacturer guidance and available branding area determine whether we can customise an item. We confirm suitability before accepting the branding work.

Can you print or embroider our company logo?

We provide heat press printing and embroidery. Embroidery suits many polos, sweatshirts, fleeces and jackets. Heat press often suits hi-vis vests, T-shirts and larger printed designs. We recommend a method after checking your garment and artwork.

Can you brand hard hats, safety glasses or gloves?

Some products support approved customisation, while others carry manufacturer restrictions. Send us the product details and proposed logo. We will check the available branding area and relevant guidance before quoting.

Can you help us choose PPE for our industry?

Yes. Tell us about the role, work environment and hazards identified in your risk assessment. We can help you identify product options, though your employer or responsible person must confirm the final PPE specification for the task.

Do you require a minimum order?

Minimum quantities depend on the product and branding method. Send us your estimated quantity so we can confirm the requirement and prepare a quote.

Do you charge for artwork or logo setup?

Some orders may need artwork preparation, print setup or embroidery digitisation. We assess your file and confirm any charge before production.

Can we see a proof before production?

Ask us about proofing when you request your quote. If your order includes a visual proof or mock-up, you can check the logo, text, colours and position before approval.

How long does custom branded PPE take?

The product stock, quantity, artwork and branding work determine the lead time. Include your required date with the enquiry, and we will confirm the schedule available for your order.

Can we reorder for new starters?

Yes. Provide your previous order information so we can identify the product and branding setup. If a manufacturer has discontinued or changed the original item, we can discuss a comparable replacement.

Will a logo affect PPE compliance or visibility?

Poor logo placement can cover reflective material, labels or safety markings. We assess the proposed position and avoid safety-critical areas. You should confirm the exact product specification and intended use before ordering.

Can you supply PPE without branding?

Yes. Some products may suit the task but not support customisation. We can discuss unbranded supply or coordinate them with branded workwear.
