Folded healthcare tunic, scrub top, scrub trousers and fleece with a small embroidered chest logo

Embroidered and printed uniforms for care homes, home care providers, private clinics, dental and GP practices, physiotherapy and pharmacy teams. Tunics, scrubs, polos, fleeces and reception wear, branded with your logo in-house and checked on a free visual proof first. Over 25 years' experience in products, printing and embroidery, since 1999.

Care and clinical staff work long shifts, wash their uniforms constantly and are often identified by role at a glance. We help you choose comfortable, washable garments, set colours by role if you need them, and keep everything consistent as your team changes.

Advice

Colour-coding and identification

Many care providers use a different tunic colour or piping for each role, so residents, patients and families can tell a nurse from a senior carer or a domestic at a glance. Keep the logo, its position and the thread colour the same across every colour, and add a role or name underneath if you want it.

  • Pick a range with depth. Choose tunics that come in several colours in the same cut, so each role matches.
  • Allow three per person. Staff on consecutive shifts need one on, one in the wash and one spare.
  • Check your washing policy. Look at the wash temperature on the garment label against your infection-control policy before you choose. We'll point you to suitable fabrics.
  • Cover every body. Ask about women's, men's and maternity cuts and extended sizes when you brief us.

Decoration

Embroidery or print?

Embroidery is the standard for uniforms that are washed often and seen by the public. It doesn't crack or peel, and it looks smart on polos, shirts, knitwear, fleeces and softshells. Embroidery starts at 8 pieces, with a one-off £20 digitising charge; we keep the file for reorders.

Print suits larger marks, back prints and role names. DTF and vinyl have no minimum, which helps with one-off new starters, and screen printing is good value from 25 pieces. We can combine methods on one order, for example an embroidered chest logo with a printed back.

For tunics and scrubs we usually recommend a small embroidered logo on the left chest. Embroidery copes with frequent washing at the temperatures the garment's care label allows.

Accounts and portals

Ordering across sites and teams

Most care uniform programmes are not one order. People join, sites open and sizes change. We set things up so reorders match the first order without anyone re-briefing us.

  • Client portal

    Your approved garments, logos and agreed prices in one place. Add staff names and departments to orders, enter a PO number at checkout, and reorder in a few clicks.

  • Warehousing and packing

    We can hold your branded stock, then pick, pack and send it to a site or to individual staff, bagged and labelled by name or size.

  • Multi-address delivery

    One order split across several sites or home addresses, sent by DPD on the next working day after dispatch.

  • Logos and positions on file

    Your digitised logo, thread colours and placements are kept, so new starters' kit matches the originals.

See staff uniforms and branded workwear for how portals and stock holding work.

FAQ

Healthcare uniform questions

Do you supply care home uniforms?

Yes. We supply and brand tunics, polos, fleeces, tabards and kitchen wear for care homes, with different colours by role if you need them.

Can you embroider scrubs and tunics?

Yes. We embroider your logo, and names or roles if needed, on scrubs, tunics, polos and fleeces. Embroidery starts at 8 pieces.

Can we order for one new starter?

Printed items (DTF or vinyl) have no minimum. Embroidery has an 8-piece minimum, so many teams batch new-starter orders or keep a few branded spares, which we can hold for you.

Do you supply maternity tunics?

Yes. Our catalogue includes maternity tunics, such as the Portwest LW18, alongside standard and stretch cuts.

Can you supply several homes or clinics?

Yes. We can split orders by site, hold branded stock and set up a client portal with your approved range and agreed prices.

Do you supply medical PPE?

Our focus is branded uniforms. We do stock first aid and medical supplies; for clinical PPE, check with us what is available before you plan around it.
