Your Complete Checklist from the Experts at Uniform Plus
Ordering custom uniforms may seem like a simple task but it's a critical investment that directly impacts your brand image, employee comfort, and day-to-day operations.
At Uniform Plus, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients across industries like hospitality, corporate, education, healthcare, and industrial sectors. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key things you need to consider before placing your first uniform order.
Whether it's enhancing your frontline team's presence or ensuring safety in industrial environments, your goals should guide every design and material choice.
At Uniform Plus, we don’t just stitch fabric—we help align your uniforms with your business identity and operational needs. Because uniforms aren’t just what people wear. They represent who you are.
Get Accurate Sizing
Uniforms must fit well—not just look good.
We strongly recommend collecting body measurements such as chest, waist, inseam, and sleeve length from your team. If possible, organize a sizing session or request fit samples.
At Uniform Plus, we offer inclusive sizing options and personalized assistance to ensure everyone—from management to frontline staff—gets the perfect fit.
Choose the Right Fabric
Fabric affects not just the look but also the functionality of a uniform.
Some common choices include:
- • Cotton for breathability in hot environments
- • Polyester blends for durability and low maintenance
- • Specialty fabrics like moisture-wicking or antimicrobial materials for medical or industrial use
We recommend asking for fabric swatches to see and feel the material before confirming your order.
Decide Between Custom-Made and Ready-to-Brand
There are two main approaches:
- • Custom-Made Uniforms
- → Fully tailored to your brand colours, style, and fit
- → Ideal for long-term brand consistency and unique design requirements
- → Longer production time (typically 2–4 weeks)
- • Catalogue or Ready-to-Brand Uniforms
- → Pre-made garments with logo embroidery or printing
- → Faster delivery and lower cost
- → Limited design flexibility
Uniform Plus offers both solutions depending on your timeline, budget, and branding goals.
Plan for Order Quantities and Stock
Always plan ahead. We recommend:
- • Ordering extra units for new hires, replacements, and size exchanges
- • Confirming minimum order quantities (MOQs) with your supplier
- • Discussing inventory management if you have multiple locations
We also provide reorder support and stock planning for long-term clients to make uniform rollouts smoother.
Know the Production Timeline
A common mistake is placing orders too late. Custom uniforms require:
- • Design approval
- • Size confirmation
- • Production (usually 10–20 business days)
- • Shipping and possible alterations
We recommend starting your order process at least 4–6 weeks in advance for peace of mind.
Choose the Right Partner — Not Just the Cheapest Vendor
Uniforms are long-term assets. Cheap stitching or poor-quality fabric will show — and hurt your brand perception.
Work with a supplier that understands your industry, offers design consultation, and supports you beyond the first delivery. Ask for samples. Ask for references. Ask what happens if something goes wrong.
That’s why over 100+ businesses across Kuwait trust Uniform Plus — because we understand that uniforms are not just outfits, they’re brand ambassadors.
Your supplier should understand your industry and provide:
- • Expert guidance on materials and sizing
- • Prototyping or samples
- • Responsive customer service
- • Consistent quality across orders
At Uniform Plus, we combine local manufacturing expertise with global standards. From design to delivery, we ensure your uniforms reflect your brand—and your team’s pride.
