Embroidery and Heat Seal for Professional Branded Workwear

SafetyCare doesn’t simply provide the highest quality of workwear and protective equipment, as we can also customise your safety clothing so that it represents your brand. There are two ways to include logos and branding on our range of workwear: embroidery and heat seal. In this article we explain the key differences and how to place an order.

What is embroidered workwear?

Embroidery is a very popular method of adding branding to protective clothing such as jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts and uniforms. It involves our highly skilled teams using state-of-the-art technology to stitch a logo, name and/or business information directly into the fabric. This is done entirely in-house so that we can ensure premium quality, a professional look and long-lasting performance.

What is heat seal?

Heat seal also involves applying your logo and other branding to safety clothing and uniforms, except that it’s done by transferring the design onto the fabric using heat. This effectively seals your branding onto your clothing, ensuring that it won’t fade or peel.

Should I choose embroidery or heat seal?

It really is up to you whether you choose embroidery or heat seal for your branded workwear, as it’s very much down to preference. However, if you’d like big logos and visuals added to your employees’ workwear, we recommend choosing heat seal, as it works better for larger surfaces.

Both embroidery and heat seal transfers are highly durable, making them ideal for all kinds of workwear that’s used indoors and outdoors. Available for use on a variety of cotton, polycotton, synthetic and protective closing, as well as high-vis PPE, each method brings exceptional results. However, heat seal can be applied only if the material is suitable, for example, you can’t heat seal fleeces as the surface is too woolly.

How long do heat seal and embroidery take?

We’re dedicated to both quality and speed of delivery, so you can rest assured that you will never receive anything less than the very best when you choose SafetyCare for branded workwear. The lead time will depend on the nature of the branding and the quantity of items being ordered, so our sales team will provide you with a turnaround time along with your quotation.

• Shirts
