Custom Corporate Apparel

Your Brand Identity in Print

Custom corporate apparel could be your ticket to greater brand visibility and a stronger business identity. It goes far beyond simply printing your name on a box of tees and handing them out at events. If done properly, it can create a more cohesive brand and spread your message organically.

Corporate Custom Apparel and What Can it Do for Your Business

Quality clothing with printed or embroidered branding—that’s custom corporate apparel. It’s a uniform for your employees and a gift for your loyal customers. It can also serve as promotional merchandise for prospective customers and partners at events.

Improving Brand Visibility with Custom Embroidered Corporate Apparel

The more people who wear your custom apparel, the more your brand is seen. It’s as simple as that—your employees and customers become walking billboards for your brand.

It will get you recognized. More importantly, it will raise questions and open a discussion. Simply embroidering your logo and name on a quality item of clothing will ensure your brand is seen for years to come.

Building Loyalty with Customized Corporate Apparel for Employees

Branded uniforms create a sense of cohesion and unity among your employees. Everyone’s wearing the same thing, and that boosts job pride, avoids issues with uniform policies, and presents a clear and professional front to your customers.

You can also design custom printed corporate apparel that’s practical—from weather-resistant materials for employees working outdoors to high-vis, protective clothing.

The Most Popular Types of Custom Corporate Apparel

Custom corporate apparel should be practical. You want your brand to be visible, but we’re talking about items that need to be worn, washed, and dried, so they also need to be comfortable and durable. Common types of corporate custom apparel include:

  • Polo shirts: A simple but effective choice for trade shows and corporate events, as well as daily uniforms. Choose a suitable, on-brand color, add an embroidered logo, and you’re good to go.
  • T-shirts: With custom corporate apparel printing (including screen printing and digital printing), tees are a low-cost option for giveaways and events. They also work as workplace uniforms.
  • Hoodies: Although they’re a little too casual and warm for some workplaces, high-quality hoodies make excellent gifts and are perfect for outdoor and remote workers.
  • Outerwear: Functional, stylish, and professional, outerwear like fleece jackets will protect your employees against the elements and elevate your promotional swag.
  • Accessories: Protective headwear for outdoor workers. Caps for event teams. Beanies for colder climates. Accessories are often a much cheaper option. What’s more, attendees seem to love them.

The Production Process

Many printers offer bulk discounts on custom apparel for corporate teams, and you can also find on-demand producers that’ll sell you single units. At Foxtrot Marketing, we help our partners create and run custom-branding campaigns. We can set up a website for merchandise sales, design promotional campaigns, and arrange the production and shipment of any quantity you need.

We can print your logo on your chosen apparel using the following methods:

Embroidery for Custom Logo Corporate Apparel

Embroidered branding is more expensive, but it lasts longer and looks better. It gives your garments a luxury feel and ensures they’re not prone to peeling or fading. It’s textured and professional, with typical placements including smaller logos on the sleeve or upper chest. 

Screen Printing

Screen printing produces vibrant results courtesy of layers of thick ink that can withstand anything the elements and wash cycle throw at them. It’s best for designs with four or fewer colors, and is typically more cost-effective than embroidery for large orders.

Digital Printing

With digital printing, you don’t need to worry about high minimum order quantities and can produce full-color custom apparel on demand. The designs are soft to the touch and can be as simple or as complex as you need.

Heat Transfer/Specialty Printing

Specialty printing services like direct-to-film and vinyl work with any type of fabric to produce vibrant and durable designs with low minimum order quantities. They work best with smaller batches and offer fast turnaround times.

Where to Use Custom Corporate Apparel

If you run a customer-facing business, custom corporate apparel is essential. Customers expect to see uniforms; they expect to know who actually works for your company. Those benefits extend to all departments, from the polo shirts or tees you give to floor workers to the protective jackets and headgear given to warehouse teams.

Branded apparel will quickly assimilate new employees into your organization and should be included as part of the onboarding process.

For the branded apparel you have left over, simply hand them out at corporate events. If they’re comfortable, well-designed, and durable, prospective and loyal customers alike will be happy to wear them. If they do, they’ll promote your brand everywhere you go.
