Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hi, does anyone have a good, cheap supplier of named uniform, i.e. polo shirts and sweatshirts printed with our setting's name on it. I have done a quick google but am confused by the mass of options available. We just want printed rather than embroidered. We would like to keep the cost down so we don't have to charge parents too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 We use Welbeck. Not too sure of cost, its on my 'to do' list in case someone is cheaper though. The set up costs are the main spend I think, but once they have the design its there for all future purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 We use Tots to Teams in Newcastle, but there's a company called Banana Moon (I think) who seem to be quite popular. We used to use a local business - I do prefer to use local, but he closed down and recommended this company to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks all will have a look into those. We used a local company previously but they were very expensive and it's tricky because you have to pass the cost onto parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Try Samuels of Norfolk. We have used them for the last five years or so. Fairly cheap- off the top of my head cant remember exact and not too bad quality either. Always found them very reliable as we.. If you have problems finding them give a shout and I'll dig the info out from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Our sweatshirts etc are embroidered and we sell them to parents at more or less cost £6.50 each. We don't make a profit really, a couple of pence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sonic leisure used these in the past.. they were excellent and gave good customer service.. we liked them as we could order just one of an item, other suppliers asked for a minimum of 12 or more... worth a call as they set our logo up for free.. but cannot remember why... think we talked them into it..

Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 As well as children sized t-shirts etc, does any body know of a good supplier for adult uniforms please. We are looking at polo shirts/t-shirts, pocketed tabards, fleece, rain coats etc Thank you Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've used Bananamoon for adult uniform in the past and they have been excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 we use mapac - they suplly both adult and childrens t shirts (polo and crew neck) as well as different types of sweat shirts, fleeces and outdoor coats and many other things - you only supply a template of your logo and they will either embroider or print it on your clothes. never had problems. look on mapac site for more details x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laura Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 We use Mapac, they sent us samples of different styles and colours. Once chosen we emailed our logo and they print and deliver really quickly. We also use them for our book bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Now I'm worried because we don't have a logo!! Thanks for all the suggestions, will look around, we also need adult stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimms o'clock? Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I use Sonic Leisure too and for the same reasons; quick delivery, can order single items, do both adult and childs, set up cost zero, most ot the items are "Fruit of the Loom" and good quality. Can't really fault them at all! They do printed or embroidered logo and name. BMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
