Embroidered, Printed & Branded Workwear Reading

The final price for your embroidered workwear is built from two elements: the cost of the garment itself and the branding application. While embroidery for a typical chest logo ranges from £2.50 to £5.00 per item, the total cost depends on your choice of clothing and the intricacy of your design, with a single, one-time fee for initial logo setup.

Think of it like this: a high-performance Helly Hansen jacket will have a higher base cost than a classic Gildan polo shirt. We then factor in the embroidery. A simple text logo is quicker to produce than a complex, multi-coloured crest with a high stitch count. To make your logo embroidery-ready, there's a one-off digitisation fee of around £25. This is for creating the digital blueprint our machines use and is never charged again for future orders with the same design. Whether you're a café in The Oracle or a logistics firm near the M4, we provide a clear, detailed quote so you see exactly where your investment is going.

For standard orders delivered across Berkshire, our typical production time is between 7 and 10 working days after you approve the final design proof. If you're facing a tighter deadline, we offer an express service that can significantly shorten this lead time, depending on the specifics of your order and current stock levels.

We understand that business moves fast. You might need polo shirts for a last-minute trade show or uniforms for a new team starting in Wokingham. When you contact us with an urgent request, we immediately check stock with our UK suppliers and assess our production schedule to give you a clear and achievable delivery date. We manage the entire process, from design sign-off to production and shipping, ensuring a smooth journey. Once complete, we use a trusted courier service for tracked delivery to your premises in Reading, Bracknell, or anywhere in the Thames Valley, so you know exactly when to expect your new gear.

We proudly support businesses of every scale, which is why we have no minimum order for any of our embroidered clothing. For printed items like t-shirts, modern techniques allow us to produce single items, though for traditional screen printing, a batch of 25 or more is needed to make it cost-effective.

This flexibility is designed for the Berkshire economy. A solo electrician might just need two durable, embroidered jackets, while a tech company in Green Park might need 300 printed shirts for a corporate event—we handle both with the same level of care. For smaller print runs, we use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, a modern method that applies ink like a paper printer, perfect for complex, full-colour designs without setup costs. For larger volumes, screen printing offers unparalleled vibrancy and durability at a lower cost per item. Our team will always advise on the best and most economical method for your specific project.

To keep your branded uniforms looking sharp, we advise washing them at a low temperature (30°C) inside out. Always air dry your garments rather than tumble drying, and if you need to iron them, do so on the reverse side, keeping the iron well away from the decorated area.

Think of your uniform as an investment in your brand’s image—proper care protects that investment. The intense heat of a tumble dryer is the primary cause of damage; it can cause printed designs to crack and embroidered logos to pucker. Turning garments inside out during a wash cycle provides a protective layer, minimising friction that can wear down the design. We source high-quality, durable apparel built for the workplace, but following these simple steps will dramatically extend its life, ensuring your team continues to represent your Reading business professionally for a long time to come.
