When it comes to outfitting your team, custom workwear does more than just provide protection—it reinforces your brand, boosts morale, and ensures compliance with industry standards. Whether you’re buying for a construction crew, warehouse staff, or customer-facing employees, here’s how to make the best choice for your business.
1. Prioritize Safety & Compliance
Before diving into colours and logos, consider industry safety requirements. In Canada, many jobs require CSA-compliant workwear or flame-resistant (FR) gear. Look for labels that meet standards like:
CSA Z96 for hi-visibility
NFPA 2112 for flame resistance
Choose the right certification based on your industry—construction, oil & gas, utilities, or EMS.
2. Choose the Right Fabric for the Job
Different work environments call for different materials:
Cotton: Breathable, soft, but not ideal for wet or flammable conditions.
Polyester Blends: More durable and moisture-wicking.
FR Fabrics: Required for hazardous environments with flame or arc risk.
Tip: Don’t overlook comfort—a comfortable team is a more productive one.
3. Get the Fit Right
Baggy clothes can be a hazard. Tight clothes reduce mobility. Look for modern cuts that balance mobility, safety, and professionalism.
Many suppliers (like us) offer sizing charts or discounted samples—ask before you order.
4. Customize It with Your Logo
Your team is also your brand on display. Add your logo using:
Embroidery (durable, professional look)
Direct To Film Printing (great for complex logo designs)
Patches (flexible for FR garments or hi-vis gear)
Make sure your logo is placed in visible but appropriate spots—chest, back, or sleeve depending on garment and usage.
At Trademark Workwear, we offer custom embroidery, printing, and patches—perfect for Canadian businesses.
5. Match the Workwear to the Role
Customize based on what your team actually does. For example:
Office & Site Managers: Branded polos or jackets
Field Workers: Hi-vis shirts, FR coveralls
Delivery Drivers: Softshells with logo patches
This not only improves safety but keeps your team looking consistent and professional.
6. Don’t Forget the Extras
Think beyond just shirts and pants:
Branded toques, ball caps, hoodies
FR-rated outerwear
Work boots, gloves, or accessories that match your brand colours
These small touches build a cohesive, recognizable look.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right custom workwear isn’t just about style—it’s about safety, comfort, durability, and professionalism. Invest in gear that represents your brand and protects your team.
