16 Essential Questions to Ask When Choosing Your Uniform Supplier
- Brand Image: What image do you want to project with your new corporate apparel?
- Durability: Will the garments withstand daily wear? Are they made from long-lasting fabrics and manufactured to retain quality?
- Consistency: Will the same styles, fabrics, and colors be available for at least three years?
- Embellishment Services: Do they offer in-house embellishment services? How extensive is the offer, and are they outsourcing to another company, potentially increasing costs?
- Reordering Process: If an employee damages a garment or you hire a new employee, will they receive the exact same style and color? What is the process for reordering one-offs?
- Warehousing and Delivery: Do you have an option to hold stock? What is your maximum guaranteed delivery time?
- Product Sourcing: How and where do you source your products? What does your supply chain look like, and what guarantees can you provide regarding delivery? What kind of relationships do you have with your suppliers and manufacturers?
- Experience: How long have they been in business?

- Distribution Versatility: Do you want a distributor who can put together a program from multi-manufacturers for extensive choices and value across uniforms, merchandise, and display signage, or do you want to work with individual companies specializing in one area?
