5 Mistakes To Avoid With Custom Safety Apparel

Give a quality gift that boosts morale and uses your budget well. Custom safety apparel shows appreciation for your workers and promotes a safer work environment. Learn the five mistakes to avoid with custom safety apparel.

1. Disregarding ANSI Standards

Enhanced visibility and high-visibility clothes protect workers, but hi-vis clothing must meet specific ANSI standards that categorize them into a type and class. Choose the right level of protection based on the worker’s environment and job duties.

Hi-vis clothes must maintain standards even after adding your company’s design. Lettering and logos made with materials not compliant with ANSI standards must not interfere with the retroreflective tape.

2. Considering Lackluster Design

Safety apparel doesn’t have to look boring to do its job effectively. Give your employees enhanced visibility and hi-vis clothes they’re proud to wear.

Unique designs can increase employees’ voluntary compliance with safety clothes standards. Employees feel confident and comfortable in quality hi-vis clothes, and, most importantly, the worksite becomes safer.

3. Purchasing Low-Quality Clothes

Clothing wears down over time, and the retroreflective tape on hi-vis clothes needs to be in good condition to work effectively. Quality clothes last longer, look great, and feel better than poor-quality apparel.

When judging a garment’s manufacturing, consider the materials, stitches and seams, and features that improve fit. For example, shoulder-to-shoulder taping makes stronger seams and enhances the durability of our t-shirts.

4. Ignoring the Back

Another mistake to avoid with custom safety apparel is ignoring the back of the garment. Putting your logo or design on the back of the shirt, hoodie, or vest adds a nice finishing touch. Plus, the back is another opportunity to showcase pride in your business.

At SafetyShirtz, your custom order starts at 48 pieces and will have the same front and back design or print. If you order 126 pieces or more, you can differentiate your order’s front and back designs.

5. Ordering From an Inexperienced Company

Finally, a professional safety apparel company has the knowledge and experience to provide your business with quality, well-designed clothes. Ordering from an inexperienced company increases the likelihood of poorly manufactured apparel, low-quality graphic images, and order delays.
