Embroidered or printed aprons

Embroidery is the usual choice for a logo on an apron bib or waist: it gives a clean, durable finish that holds up through repeated wear and washing. We digitise your logo, send a visual proof, then sew on our multi-head machines. Once a logo is digitised and approved, it stays on record, so reorders and new-starter top-ups are straightforward. Larger graphic marks and full-colour designs can be screen printed or digitally printed; we will recommend the method that suits the fabric, the artwork and the quantity, and confirm it in the quote.

Logo positions on aprons

Positions are described as worn.

• Bib aprons: centre chest on the bib is the most common position, with a staff name or second logo on the left or right of the bib, or on a pocket.
• Waist aprons: a logo on the front panel or pocket, usually to the left or right of centre so it isn't hidden by the tie.
• Cross-back and denim aprons: centre chest or the bib pocket, chosen to clear straps and rivets.

Decoration costs

Embroidery has a one-off £20 digitising charge per logo, which isn't charged again when you reorder. Screen printing is £25 per screen. DTF and DTG printing have no setup charge.
