Custom & Personalised Aprons

Custom Aprons To Make Your Team Look Sharp

Custom aprons are a solid choice for businesses across Australia. They protect clothing while putting your logo front and centre – whether your team’s serving customers, running a workshop, or representing your brand at events.

This guide is for hospitality, caterers, retail staff, event teams, artists, and corporate groups and anyone looking to kit out their team in smart but durable uniforms.

 

Personalised Aprons – Where to Use Them

Custom aprons are essential workwear for many businesses, providing both protection and professional branding.

Hospitality and Food Service

Restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses rely on durable aprons to keep staff looking sharp and protected during busy service hours. Aprons help maintain hygiene standards while offering a unified team appearance that reinforces your brand to customers.

 

Events and Exhibitions

Exhibition venues and event teams benefit from branded aprons that make staff easily identifiable and promote a cohesive, professional image. Whether serving food, demonstrating products, or managing booths, aprons are practical uniforms that enhance brand visibility.

 

Trade Shows and Corporate Events

Trade shows and corporate events often require bulk orders of custom printed aprons to outfit teams quickly and efficiently. Fast turnaround options are available to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.

 

Bulk Orders for Consistency

For any business needing reliable, durable, and well-branded aprons, ordering in bulk ensures consistency across your team while protecting clothing and promoting your brand effectively.

Once you know where your aprons will be used, the next step is choosing the right style for your team.

 

Which Style of Customised Apron to Choose?

Choosing the right apron style comes down to what your team actually does while wearing it.

Customised aprons come in various styles including bib, waist, bistro, and crossover. Materials include durable cotton canvas, sturdy denim, breathable linen, easy-care poly-cotton blends, luxurious leather, and waterproof PVC/nylon.

 

Bib Aprons

• Bib aprons offer maximum coverage from chest to knee. They’re the preferred choice for commercial kitchens, cafés, and workshops where spills and stains are part of the job.
•  

Waist Aprons

• Waist aprons sit at the hip and suit roles where mobility matters more than coverage. Think bartenders, retail staff, or anyone who needs quick access to a pocket without feeling restricted.
•  

Crossback Designs

• Crossback designs distribute weight across the shoulders rather than the neck. If your staff wear aprons for long shifts, this style reduces strain and feels more comfortable.
•  

Bistro Aprons

• Bistro aprons are longer waist aprons, often used in front-of-house roles in restaurants for a more formal look and extra leg coverage.
•  

Pocket Placement

• Consider pocket placement too – some roles need tool storage or order pads within easy reach.

Once you’ve chosen a style, the next step is selecting the right material for your needs.

 

The Apron – What Material Should It Be Made Of?

The fabric you choose affects comfort, durability, and how well your branding holds up over time.

Cotton

• Cotton is breathable, soft against skin, and handles frequent washing without falling apart.

   

Poly-Cotton Blends

• Poly-cotton blends give you the best of both worlds – cotton’s comfort with polyester’s wrinkle resistance and easy care.

   

Denim and Canvas

• Denim and canvas are your heavy-duty options. They’re tougher, more resistant to wear, and ideal for workshops, craft studios, or industrial settings.

   

Fabric Weight and Finishes

Fabric weight matters for both comfort and printing. Lighter materials keep staff cool but may not hold up as well to rough use. Heavier fabrics feel more substantial and often provide better contrast for logos.

With your style and material selected, it’s time to consider how to brand your aprons for maximum impact.

 

Personalised Aprons – How to Brand Them for Business Use?

Getting your logo onto aprons is straightforward, but the method you choose affects the final look and your budget.

 

Branding Methods

• Screen Printing: Works well for bulk orders with simple, bold designs. It’s cost-effective at higher quantities and produces clean, vibrant results on most fabrics.
• Embroidery: Creates a premium, professional appearance that lasts. Stitched logos won’t peel, crack, or fade.
• Digital Printing: Handles detailed, full-colour designs including photos and complex images.
• Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV): Suitable for smaller, detailed designs.
• Patch Application: Adds a unique artisan look.

 

Where to Place your Brand’s Logo

Consider these placement options for your logo or branding:

• Chest area: Maximum visibility, especially for front-of-house staff.
• Pocket printing: Subtle branding, ideal for staff who use pockets frequently.
• Waist section: Works well on bib aprons for additional branding.

 

Tips for Effective Branding Placement:

• Think about what’s visible when your team is actually working. If they’re behind a counter, chest logos get more exposure than lower placements.
• For a cohesive team appearance, coordinate your aprons with other branded workwear like caps, shirts, or bags. It creates a professional image without looking over-the-top.

Once you’ve decided on branding, you may have some questions about ordering and customisation.
