Quick answer: Personalised workwear is staff clothing that carries your company logo and, if you want it, the individual's name or job title. CentralCustom embroiders or prints polos, fleeces, jackets, hoodies, tunics and work trousers for UK businesses. You send your logo and a list of names, we match the garments and quote a price per person, and you approve a proof before anything is made.
Most teams start with a logo on the chest and then realise they also want names, roles or departments on the garment. That small step is what turns a pile of branded clothing into a uniform customers can read at a glance: who you are, and who is serving them.
What can be personalised on workwear?
- Company logo. Usually left chest, with a larger version on the back of jackets and fleeces. See our logo placement guide for what works where.
- Individual names. First name or full name, embroidered under or beside the logo, so customers know who they are talking to.
- Job titles and departments. "Service Engineer", "Reception", "Kitchen" or "Site Manager" on the sleeve or chest, which helps visitors and new starters find the right person.
- Colour coding. Different garment or thread colours for departments, shifts or grades, so a mixed team still looks like one team.
- Back and sleeve branding. Slogans, web addresses or phone numbers for vans, deliveries and anyone working at a distance from the customer.
Embroidery or print for personalised workwear?
Embroidery is the default for polos, fleeces, jackets and caps because stitching survives hundreds of industrial washes and still looks smart. Printing suits t-shirts, hoodies and short runs where the design has fine detail or colour gradients. Names are almost always embroidered on workwear, because a printed name on a work polo tends to crack and fade first. If you are unsure, tell us what the garment will go through each week and we will recommend the method. Our workwear cost guide explains what drives the price of each option.

Personalised workwear FAQs
Can you put individual names on workwear?
Yes. Send us a list of names (and job titles if you want them) and we embroider each garment individually, normally alongside the company logo.
What is the best way to personalise staff uniforms?
Embroidery for polos, fleeces, jackets and caps, because it lasts. Printing is better for t-shirts and hoodies where you want a larger or more colourful design.
Can I order different garments with the same branding?
Yes. We use the same logo file across every garment, so a polo, fleece and jacket will all match.
How do I get a price?
Price depends on the garment, the number of people, the logo size and whether names are added. Send us your details and we will quote per person. For what influences cost, read our embroidery cost guide.
What file do I need for my logo?
A vector file (AI, EPS or SVG) is best, but a clear PNG or PDF is fine to start. We prepare the stitch file for you.
Can I add new starters to an existing order?
Yes. Because your artwork is already set up, adding a new name to a reorder is quick.
