Employee Uniform Program
Your business is unique. You need more than just a standard rental program.
Simple uniform rental may seem like a good idea—low upfront costs and laundry services are appealing. However, there are numerous pain points involved with rentals. Did you know you can get a better work uniform program with direct purchase web-based management rather than rentals? Let’s look at some of the weak spots of rental companies and why a direct purchase employee uniform program is the better way.
COST
Rental is cheaper upfront but more costly in the long run. Ancillary costs like repairs, replacement, customization, and environmental charges are passed on to customers. Even the administration costs associated with rentals, such as uniform distribution and tracking, get passed along to you. When you have a direct purchase uniform program, management can oversee garment distribution and care — and you don’t need to pay a rental company to handle these routine operations.
QUALITY
Rental companies want more customers in the same garments. It’s economy of scale—easier to replace, less costly to re-rent. Higher quality garments cost more than standard rentals, and customization is often patched on. Utilizing our uniform purchase program gives you access to high-quality garments at a fraction of what it would cost to rent the same items. Plus, we offer several customization techniques, including embroidery, screen-printing, and heat sealing, that ensure your company logo goes on smoothly — and stays on.
PERSONALIZED FIT
Rental companies tend to have a limited range of sizes and fits designed for the “average” wearer. However, your team is diverse, and they need access to an employee uniform program that’s as unique as they are. Our online ordering platform makes it easy for employees to order uniforms with accurate sizing so they can feel comfortable and look presentable. If you want to elevate team spirit at your company, give your employees access to tailor-made, well-fitting uniforms.
SERVICE
Industrial laundry means less fresh and soft garments, which means uncomfortable clothes for your employees. Up to half of employees even decide to launder clothes themselves. Giving your teams work uniforms that they can take home and launder with their preferred products helps them feel more comfortable in their garments, which boosts employee morale. When employees have ownership of their uniforms, they might even take more pride in their garments — and in their roles.
IMAGE
With companies rebranding or updating their image, direct purchase allows you to easily migrate to a new work uniform program—just switch the garments you purchase. Rental programs aren’t so easy with 3-5 year contracts. Some companies stick with their outdated uniform inventory, even though it no longer represents their brand, simply because they can’t get out of their rental contract. Our approach to custom workwear is designed to evolve with your company’s image, allowing you to change employee uniform designs without facing major costs.
INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC FABRIC/MATERIAL
While rental companies can have uniforms made from workspace-specific materials, you’ll have access to a wider range of options with our employee uniform program. We create uniforms that are compliant with workplace safety regulations across a variety of industries, ensuring that your teams are protected — whether they work in the kitchen, on a construction site, or out on the farm.
