Custom Lifeguard Uniforms
If you are going to shop custom lifeguard uniforms and apparel, it is best to choose high quality products for several reasons. There is an abundance of lifeguard products on the market that can be customized, but not all are equal. High quality lifeguard uniforms and apparel should last throughout the season, and withstand sun and chlorine. Furthermore, choosing a high quality custom uniform should be a worthy investment that is embraced by your employees. Fade resistant material and comfort are among the leading factors when choosing the best custom lifeguard uniforms and apparel.
Benefits of High Quality Custom Lifeguard Uniforms
As mentioned above, the quality of your uniforms and apparel is a direct influence on the price of your employees. Simply put, the better the gear, the more happy the guard. This plays a vital role in maintaining a happy staff. After all, most lifeguards are wearing their uniforms for hours at a time, often in and out of the water. When you choose quality uniforms, the investment can pay off in multiple ways, from employee retention, to the overall disposition of the staff. To sum up the benefits, choosing quality apparel provides:
- Increased employee comfort
- Increased employee pride and happiness
- Decreased cost of replacement or repair
- Less material degradation over time
How do I choose the right Lifeguard Uniforms to customize?
Your investment in Lifeguard Uniforms should be an easy decision when it comes to choosing the right company or manufacturer. When shopping around, it is best to favor a company that is available to discuss your project and provide full confidence that you are a priority. If the uniform provider is accessible immediately via email or a call, this is an excellent sign. Furthermore, if the provider is also the manufacturer of the apparel, this allows you as the buyer, to have more conviction in the guarantee of quality. Also, this allows you the peace of mind when ordering, because the provider stands behind their customization and product 100%. Many uniform providers are simply a third party, placing your logo or design on another manufacturers gear. In this case, if there happens to be an error in the order, whether it be the logo design, quantity, or sizes; you are much better off when the company you are dealing with has the inventory and responsibility to amend the issue ASAP.
What is the best type of Customization for your apparel? Screen-printing vs. Embroidery.
We often receive the question: How do I choose between screen-printing or embroidery? The simple answer is: ‘it depends on the apparel, your budget, and the size or complexity of the logo.’
Regarding apparel, the fabric or material of the uniform dictates the possible customization. For example, if you are choosing a women’s swimsuit made from our Polyester, we usually recommend screen-printing due to the price, but embroidery is also a potential option. When it comes to Rashguards, specifically made from Lycra or a Polyester blend, we limit the option to screen-printing only, due to the construction of the fabric and the limitations of the thread in this material. When it comes to our men’s and women’s lifeguard shorts, made from various Polyester-Spandex blends, we provide the option to choose either screen-printing or embroidery, and the right decision depends on your logo and budget. Typically, the larger and more complex the logo, the higher the cost for embroidery. This is why screen-printing is usually the most cost-effective solution for customization and works well with almost all fabrics or materials. Embroidery traditionally lasts longer and proves to be more durable, but is limited to certain fabrics and budgets.
