Having aprons made is a good solution if you can’t find what you need. Here are a few things to help you when you talk to the apron maker or supplier.
Requirements
Do you want the full coverage of a bib, or just a waist apron will do? What about pockets? Think about that before you order a batch of custom aprons for you and your team. What other requirements do you want for those aprons?
Complement
If you’re preparing them for your employees, then make sure the aprons complement their uniforms. That way, the apron won’t stand out. Instead, it’ll blend in with the rest of their work garments.
Personalized
Consider choosing a color and style to personalize the aprons for your team. You could also add the logo of your restaurant or company for more branding. Your employees are sure to wear those aprons with pride.
Fabrics
It’s important that you pick suitable fabrics for this. Denim is durable, but polycottons are resistant to fading. There are also soft linens or even nylon or PVC if you want waterproof options. Cotton is also durable, but the color fades over time.
Style
There are bib aprons, cross back aprons, waist aprons which are also called utility pouches, and smock aprons. You can also choose waterproof aprons. Consider the work that your team does. What kind of ingredients do they normally handle? Pick an apron that will give them the mobility they need. In some cases, the aprons must be easy to detach or remove. Check which styles suit.
Frequency
Will those aprons be worn every day throughout their shift? Then you need long-lasting options. You want to replace them as few times as possible. If you only use them occasionally, though, then you could pick a less durable material BlueCut – Modern Workwear, Uniforms and Aprons.
