Company Uniforms: Why You Should Use Custom Embroidered Patches For Them

Any company that has employees who interact with the public will want to make sure that they present a professional and neat appearance. That is the reason that many companies want their employees to have good grooming habits, neat hairstyles and a uniform that matches. When it comes to uniforms, different styles are available according to the type of business you own and the image you are trying to present. One thing that is common on all company uniforms is the company logo which will be placed somewhere on the uniform.

One of the most common ways of having your company logo on uniforms is to put it on with embroidered patches. While you can use iron-ons, silkscreening, and direct embroidery, using patches offers several advantages over the other options. In this article, we will discuss some of these advantages. The fact that embroidered patches will catch the eyes of others is very appealing to company owners and they are not expensive to buy. They make the perfect option for adding your logo to your uniforms.

Patches are More Durable than Iron-Ons and Silkscreening

While silkscreening and iron-ons certainly provide an attractive method of showing off your company logo and slogan, they have a tendency to wear out and fade over time. You may even find that the logo starts to look a bit worn after a few months of regular washing. Embroidered patches on the other hand, tend to last longer before beginning to show signs of wear. Embroidered patches will look just as good a year later as long as they have been sewn on tight.

It is not possible to replace silkscreening or iron-ons once they have worn out. You must purchase brand-new uniforms if you want them to look just as good. However, with embroidered patches, it is possible to just replace the patch. As long as the specific piece of clothing is still in good condition changing out patches is a snap.

Embroidered Patches Are Portable

One of the best things about using embroidered patches is the fact that they are portable. Say for example that you are using direct embroidery on your shirts but then want to change the design of the shirts; you would need to get a whole new range of shirts designed and then get them embroidered with the logo. But with embroidered patches, you could simply take the patches off the old uniforms and then apply them to a plain uniform. This will be quick and easy provided you know someone who can use a sewing machine.

It is also important to understand that direct embroidery will probably last longer than the clothing it is on. But it would look very strange to cut out this section and apply it to a new piece of clothing. Once again, you don't have that problem with embroidered patches. When an item of clothing wears out, you can remove the patch and attach it to a new piece of clothing. This is a very cost effective solution and very quick and easy.
