Branded Workwear for UK Businesses - Done Properly
In-house embroidery and DTF printing. Expert logo advice. A visual proof with every order. And a team that takes it personally if anything goes wrong.
Whether you’re equipping a team of five or five hundred, branded workwear makes your business look the part from day one.
At SP Workwear, we supply embroidered and printed uniforms to businesses across the UK, from single-site SMEs to multi-location operations. Every order comes with expert logo support, quality garments, and a service built around getting it right first time.
Professional Branded Workwear Tailored to Your Business
Branded workwear does more than keep your team in uniform. It communicates professionalism before a word is spoken, reinforces your brand identity across every customer interaction, and gives your staff a sense of belonging.
We work with businesses of all sizes across every sector — from sole traders ordering their first branded polo to national companies managing uniform programmes across multiple sites. We offer two main branding methods: embroidery and DTF printing, and we’ll advise which is best for your logo, garments, and budget.
Every order starts with a free visual proof so you can see exactly how your logo will look before we go into production.
Why Choose Branded Workwear?

Your team looks the part in front of customers, on site, and at events
Brand awareness
Every time your staff are visible, your logo is working for you
Staff identity
A consistent uniform builds team cohesion and a sense of pride
Customer confidence
Branded staff are immediately identifiable and trusted
PPE compliance
Where required, branded workwear can incorporate hi-vis and safety-rated garments
Reduced admin
A clear uniform policy and reorder system takes the guesswork out of what to wear
Embroidery or Printing – Which Is Right for Your Business?
The two most common branding methods are embroidery and DTF printing. The right choice depends on your logo, garments, and how they’ll be used.
Embroidered Workwear
Embroidery stitches your logo directly into the fabric using thread. It produces a premium, durable finish – ideal for garments that will be washed regularly and worn for years. Best for structured garments like polo shirts, fleeces, and jackets with clean, bold logos.
- Durable – withstands repeated washing without fading or peeling
- Premium finish – raised texture gives a professional, high-quality appearance
- Best for: polos, fleeces, jackets, sweatshirts, caps
Printed Workwear
DTF (Direct to Film) printing transfers a full-colour print directly onto the garment. It handles fine detail, colour gradients, and complex artwork that embroidery can’t replicate – ideal for multi-colour logos, large back prints, and promotional clothing.
- Full colour – no thread limitations, vibrant results on any garment colour
- Fine detail – handles complex logos, small text, and photographic artwork
- Best for: t-shirts, hoodies, promotional clothing, event wear
Which One to Choose
Embroidery | DTF Printing | |
|---|---|---|
Best For | Structured garments, daily wear | Casual garments, events, promos |
Logo style | Clean, bold, simple | Complex, mult-colour, detailed |
Durability | Excellent, lasts years | Very good with proper care |
Finish | Premium, textured | Flat, vibrant, photo-quality |
Large back | Not recommended on garments that touch the skin as can be uncomfortable and sit heavy | Ideal |
Cost | One-off setup, low per unit | No setup, competitive pricing |
How to Order Branded Workwear
1. Choose Your Garments
Browse our range by category - polo shirts, hoodies, fleeces, jackets, hi-vis, t-shirts, and sweatshirts.
Filter by colour, style, and brand. Not sure what to choose? Our team can advise on the best garments for your sector and budget.
2. Upload Your Logo
Select your positions for artwork and upload your logo file - ideally a vector file (AI, EPS or SVG). If you only have a PNG or JPG, send it over and we'll let you know if it's suitable. If you want to send us your logo after you order that's no problem either.
3. Artwork Approval
Before anything goes into production, we'll send you a visual proof showing exactly how your logo will look - position, colour, and branding method. We don't start work until you're happy with it.
4. Production Quality & Checks
Once approved, your order goes into production at our Maidenhead facility.
Every garment is quality checked before it leaves us. If anything isn't right, we fix it at no extra cost before it leaves us.
5. UK Delivery
We deliver across the UK, typically within 7-10 working days of artwork approval. Need something faster? Talk to us - we can often accommodate tighter timelines.

How Much Does Branded Workwear Cost?
Branded workwear pricing depends on a number of factors. Here’s what affects your quote:
- Garment choice – premium brands cost more but last significantly longer
- Branding method – embroidery has a one-off digitising cost; DTF has no setup charge (provided you can provide the logo in the correct format)
- Quantity – the more you order, the lower the cost per unit
- Logo complexity – a simple one-colour logo can sometimes costs less to set up than a complex multi-colour design
- Number of positions – a chest logo and a back print are priced separately
- Turnaround time – standard lead times included; rush orders may carry a premium
Our prices are displayed on our pricing page. We’re a bit different to most workwear companies, where we don’t charge you a huge premium for small orders. Instead, we rewards regular, loyal customers and offer a discount based on your 12 month rolling spend. It means you don’t have to bulk up your orders when you only need a few top ups throughout the year.
