What is printed workwear and when do you need it?
A printed work trouser makes your employees instantly recognizable to colleagues, customers, and other companies on site. On a construction site or in a logistics center, where you regularly collaborate with other parties, this quick recognition is immediately important. Combine your logo on the trousers with a printed work jacket or polo shirt, and all colleagues will look like one team.
What to consider when printing work trousers?
The material and the placement of your logo determine how long the print will stay looking good. On cotton or canvas work trousers, a logo often sits tight and stable. On stretch work trousers, the fabric continuously moves, so we work together to find a position that does not cross knee pads, seams, or stretchy zones. Does your team work along the road? Then you can easily combine a print with work trousers that meet the EN ISO 20471 standard for high visibility.
The most chosen positions are the thigh, the back pocket, and the hip. The thigh is usually most visible while walking and working; the back pocket is noticeable from behind, but experiences more friction during seated work.
Which brands of work trousers do we offer?

Printing or embroidering on work trousers
We print work trousers, but we consciously do not embroider them: the combination of pockets, thick seams, and stretch panels makes work trousers too unstable for a beautiful and durable embroidery result. For printing, we use our own DTF printer, which is standard washable up to 40°C and available from just 1 piece, ideal for a single item or a new colleague. Does your team work in an industry where clothes are washed more often and at higher temperatures? Then we print from 10 pieces with an industrially washable, boil-proof transfer that is resistant to oil, grease, and heavy use.
