Custom branding

Custom logo coveralls, from one unit up.

RigArmor brands workwear from a single garment. Most suppliers in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines want 20 to 300 pieces before they will put your logo on anything. We hold your approved sample on file, so the reorder in eighteen months matches the one your supervisor signed off today.

The real barrier

Why most suppliers will not brand a single unit

Almost anyone will sell you one unbranded coverall. Getting your logo on it is where the minimums appear, and that is the point at which most small orders die.

The reason is set-up cost. Embroidery has to be digitised before it runs; print needs a screen or a transfer made. That preparation costs the same whether the run is one garment or a thousand, so suppliers set a minimum to make it worth doing. Twenty pieces is common for a print shop. Thirty is typical for a uniform specialist. Overseas bulk manufacturers frequently start at three hundred.

That is a rational policy and we are not criticising it. But it produces a specific problem for a buyer who has not yet held the garment: you have to commit to a full run before you know whether the fit, the fabric weight or the colour is right for your crew.

Supplier type	Typical minimum	What that means for a first order
Print and embroidery shops	20 pieces	Commit to a run before seeing the garment
Uniform specialists	30 pieces, selected items only	Limited garment choice at the minimum
Overseas bulk manufacturers	300 pieces	Effectively a container decision
RigArmor	1 piece	Brand one, wear it, then decide

Placement

Where your logo goes

Left chest is the default and the one most companies choose. It sits where a name badge would, it survives industrial laundry better than a large panel, and it reads clearly in a photograph.

A back placement is larger and is what people actually see on a site — useful when your crew works alongside subcontractors and you want them identifiable at distance. Sleeve placement suits a secondary mark, a certification body or a client logo alongside your own.

You can have one, two or all three. Tell us the sizes you want in millimetres, or send us a photograph of a garment you already like and we will match the proportions.

Decoration methods

Four ways to get your logo onto the garment

We can do all four. We do not set a limit on the number of colours, the size of the mark or the height of your text — the only real constraint is the space available on the garment and what the method itself can hold cleanly. If your artwork suits one method better than another, we will tell you which and why.

Embroidery

Stitched in thread. The most durable option and the one that survives industrial laundry best. Reads as the most substantial on a work garment. Strongest with solid shapes and defined edges.

Most durable

Screen print

Ink pushed through a mesh screen onto the fabric. Suits large flat areas of solid colour and gets cheaper per unit as the run grows, since each colour needs its own screen prepared.

Best at volume

Heat transfer

The design is printed, then heat-pressed onto the garment. This is the method that handles photographic detail, gradients and many-coloured artwork that stitching cannot reproduce.

Most detail

Woven patch

Made separately and then attached. Holds finer detail than direct embroidery at small sizes, and a patch can be swapped later — useful for name badges or a client logo that changes.

Swappable

Branding is quoted per order rather than from a price list, because the cost depends on the method, the number of placements and the run size. Send us the artwork and we will price it.

From artwork to delivery

How a branded order runs

Five steps, and you sign off before anything is produced at volume.

01

Send your artwork and your brief

A vector file is best — AI, EPS or PDF. A high-resolution PNG usually works. Tell us the placements you want, the garment colour, the fabric weight and your size breakdown.
02

We quote and confirm the detail

Per-piece price, branding cost and an estimated delivery date. Anything ambiguous in the artwork — a thin line, a gradient, a colour that will not translate — we raise now rather than after production.
03

You approve a sample

Nothing runs at volume until you have seen the mark on the actual garment, in the actual colour. This is the whole reason a minimum of one matters.
04

Production and pre-shipment check

The run is cut, sewn and branded, then inspected against your approved sample — fabric weight, colour, stitching, logo position and sizing — before it leaves the factory.
05

Shipped, with the sample kept on file

Sea freight is standard, air freight on request, Form E on every consignment. Allow 6 to 8 weeks from approved artwork to delivery — branding is built into that, not added on top. We keep your approved sample so the next order matches without you re-specifying anything.

Why it is worth branding

What a branded coverall actually does for you

Beyond looking tidier in a client photograph, there are three practical reasons companies here brand their workwear.

Your crew is identifiable on a shared site

Where subcontractors and client staff work in the same space, a marked garment tells a supervisor at a glance who belongs to which team. It also makes an unbadged stranger obvious.

Issued kit stops walking

A branded coverall has no resale value and is awkward to wear anywhere else. Companies that mark their issue kit consistently replace less of it.

You look like the contractor you are bidding to be

For a manpower agency or a subcontractor putting people on a client's site, matching branded workwear is the cheapest credibility signal available.

Straight answers

What we can brand, and what we cannot supply

We brand our own garments. Being clear about what those garments are matters more than winning the order.

We can brand these

Our 100% cotton industrial coveralls, in 175 gsm or 270 gsm, sizes M to 5XL, in navy, blue, grey, red, orange or white, with reflective tape. Chest, back and sleeve placements, from one unit.

We cannot supply these

Certified flame-resistant garments, or certified high-visibility garments. Our coveralls carry no FR certification and no hi-vis certification at any class. Branding does not change that, and a marked garment will still be turned away from a site that enforces EN ISO 11612, NFPA 2112, ISO 11611 or EN ISO 20471.

We would rather lose the order than put your crew in the wrong garment.

The full garment specification is on our industrial coveralls page, and we explain the reflective tape question in detail on our high-visibility page.

Common questions

Questions buyers ask about custom logo workwear

What is the minimum order for custom logo workwear?

Ours is one unit. That is unusual in this region: print and embroidery shops typically start at 20 pieces, uniform specialists at around 30, and overseas bulk manufacturers at 300. Volume pricing at RigArmor begins at 100 units, but you are welcome to order a single branded coverall first and put it on a real crew member before committing.

What artwork file do you need for a logo?

A vector file is best — AI, EPS or PDF — because it scales to any placement size without losing definition. A high-resolution PNG is usually workable. If your logo has very fine lines, gradients or more than a few colours, tell us and we will flag anything that will not translate cleanly onto fabric before you commit.

What branding methods do you offer?

Embroidery, screen print, heat transfer and woven patch. Embroidery is the most durable and handles industrial laundry best. Screen print suits large solid-colour marks and gets cheaper per unit at volume. Heat transfer reproduces gradients and photographic detail that stitching cannot. A woven patch holds fine detail at small sizes and can be swapped later. Send us your artwork and we will tell you which method suits it.

Is there a limit on colours or logo size?

We do not set one. The practical constraint is the space available on the garment and what the chosen method can hold cleanly — very fine lines or subtle gradients reproduce better in heat transfer than in stitching, for example. Send the artwork and we will flag anything that will not translate well before you commit to a run.

How long does a custom branded order take?

Six to eight weeks from approved artwork to delivery. Branding is included in that window rather than added to it. Air freight is available on request if you need it sooner, and we will tell you honestly at quoting stage whether your date is achievable.

Where can the logo be placed on a coverall?

Left chest, back, and sleeve, individually or in combination. Left chest is the most common choice: it sits where a badge would, survives industrial laundry well, and reads clearly in photographs. Back placement is larger and identifies your crew at distance on a shared site.

Will a reorder match my first order?

Yes. We keep your approved sample on file, so a repeat order is produced against the garment you already signed off rather than against a fresh interpretation of your artwork. You do not need to re-specify colour, placement or sizing each time.

Do you supply branded workwear to the Philippines and Malaysia?

Yes. We supply crews in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Sea freight is standard and air freight is available on request. Every consignment carries a Form E certificate of origin, so qualifying ASEAN buyers clear customs at 0% duty instead of the standard 10–30% band.

Can you brand flame-resistant or high-visibility garments?

No. We only brand our own 100% cotton coveralls, which hold no flame-resistance or high-visibility certification. Adding a logo does not change what a garment is certified for. If your site enforces EN ISO 11612, NFPA 2112, ISO 11611 or EN ISO 20471, you need a certified garment from a supplier who holds that certification.

Send us the logo. We'll put it on one.

Artwork, the placements you want, the colour and your size breakdown. We will come back with a per-piece price, the branding cost and a delivery date — and you approve a sample before anything runs.
