Corporate uniforms, made or stocked.
Retail networks, early learning centres, bank branches and professional services firms almost all end up buying both: a range made to their specification, and stocked brands held here and decorated. The question that decides cost and timing is not who made the garment — it is which supply route puts it on a person's back.
Two kinds of garment in one program.
Nearly every account we run is part made to specification and part supplied from stock. Which route a garment takes is what sets its lead time, its minimum and its price — so it is worth knowing before anything else.
Bespoke and part-bespoke programs
Uniforms designed to your brand rather than adapted to it — fabric and pattern developed to specification, with a consultation and a sampling stage so styles are settled before anything is cut. These we make ourselves. Part-bespoke is the more common case: the pieces a customer actually looks at made to your specification, worn with stocked items where a full custom range would be money spent on trousers nobody remembers.
Stocked brands, decorated to your standard
Biz Collection, Biz Corporates and the ranges that sit alongside them, plus stocked scrubs and hi-vis where a workforce is mixed. We have distributed these brands for over a decade — held here in Australia, decorated by the specialist embroidery and print houses we have used just as long, and out the door without an indent wait. Bring artwork, or tell us the fabric and we will say which branding process suits it.
Three ways to supply the same uniform.
The same shirt can reach a new starter in a fortnight or in a couple of months, and the difference in unit price runs the other way. What actually separates the three routes is how far the decoration goes — and most programs use more than one at once.
| Route | Lead time | Decoration | Minimum | Choose this when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock | 1–2 weeks | Basic embroidery and print through our decoration partners — a chest logo, a name, a left-breast badge. | No minimum on the garment | People need to be in uniform now. Held in our Australian warehouse, with capital city delivery in two business days. |
| Express | 3–4 weeks | More involved work — multi-position embroidery, larger or multi-colour print, several colourways across departments. | Minimum quantities apply | A bigger rollout, where the range is settled and the date is not tomorrow. |
| Bespoke | 4–8 weeks | Designed into the garment rather than applied to it — panels, piping and placement decided with the pattern. | 25 units per style, any mix of sizes | The uniform has to be yours alone. Made in our own factories rather than decorated from a stocked range. |
Sizing days on site and a staged rollout by location are usually what make a bespoke date land, and both are priced with the program rather than after it.
Who made it, and who decorated it.
The garments in the first two routes come from other manufacturers. What we add is a supply chain that has not changed hands in over a decade.
- Brands we distribute
- TheirsWhose factory
- Over a decade with the same ranges and the same decorators. That is why a logo run this year matches one run three years ago — same people, same setup — and why we can tell you which sizes run true and which substitution is safe when a line is discontinued halfway through a program.
- Ranges we manufacture
- OursWhose factory
- Bespoke and part-bespoke work is made in the factories the company owns. Pattern, fabric, sampling and the production slot itself are all in-house, which is what the indent row above is really describing.
Distribution runs nationally, so a rollout across several states does not have to funnel through one city.
Put a number on it.
Which departments, roughly how many people in each, and the date they have to be in uniform — the date is what decides which of the three routes you are actually choosing between. Send artwork if you have it, or a photo of what people are wearing now if you do not.
