01
Define the branding scope for the whole order
A bulk custom-logo scrub order needs more than a logo attachment. Identify the garment styles, fabric directions, colors and departments or collections involved. Separate an institutional logo on the outside of a uniform from a private-label brand identity inside the garment. If both are required, list both in the quotation brief. Raise Apparel can discuss embroidery, printing and label options within an agreed production scope; the suitable combination depends on the selected garment and approved sample.
02
Review embroidery and printing on the chosen fabric
Choose a decoration method after reviewing the artwork and intended material together. Ask to see how fine lettering, filled areas and multiple colors will be represented at the proposed size. For embroidery, review the thread colors and the appearance of the backing. For printing, review the proposed process and its feel on the fabric. Neither method should be selected from a screen mockup alone. Agree any care or wash evaluation needed for the program before approving bulk decoration.
03
Prepare an artwork and placement sheet
Provide the clearest available source artwork and ask which file format is needed for production preparation. A photograph of a logo may help start the conversation, but it leaves details to resolve. Identify the approved artwork version so an older attachment cannot become the production reference.
- Logo file, version and exact wording
- Finished width and height, with units
- Thread or print color references for each garment color
- Position measured from a defined seam or garment feature
- Separate instructions for each style or department variant
04
Keep the logo clear of working pockets and seams
Mark the position on a garment drawing and review it on the actual sample. A chest logo may sit above a pocket, on the pocket panel or elsewhere, but the chosen construction must be reviewed so decoration does not unintentionally close the pocket or obstruct its opening. Check nearby seams, panels and fastenings. Ask how placement will be handled across the size range instead of assuming that one position works unchanged on every size.
05
Approve a physical decoration reference
For embroidery, request a sample sew-out on the proposed material within the agreed sampling scope. For printing, review a corresponding physical print sample. Then review the decoration on the garment to confirm scale and placement. Record comments on spelling, colors, alignment, appearance and the inside finish. Name the person who can approve the result, and keep the final approval linked to the artwork version. Any later artwork or material change should be reviewed before production proceeds.
06
Specify labels separately from the visible logo
A hospital or clinic logo does not define the brand, size or care labels. List each required label, its wording, dimensions, material direction and attachment position. Include hangtags and packing identification when needed. Review size-label information against the approved size chart and the way tops and pants will be paired. Confirm which label artwork and content the buyer supplies, and which preparation work is included in the quotation.
07
Build a quantity brief and keep a reorder record
Break quantities down by style, garment color, size and logo variant. State whether the order is counted in sets or individual pieces, especially when tops and pants use different sizes. Include the required packing assortment and identify undecided items. Keep the approved garment, decoration sample, artwork, label files and quantity sheet together. For replenishment, quote those references and reconfirm materials, colors, quantities and current production scope rather than assuming an earlier order can be repeated without review.
