Questions about Custom Workwear & Safety Jackets?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about fabrics, decoration, and ANSI compliance.
Can you embroider on Carhartt duck canvas?
Yes. Duck canvas is ideal for embroidery — the tight heavy weave holds every stitch cleanly. We recommend raised-thread chest logos up to 4"x4" or 8,000 stitches, and chain-stitch back graphics for larger company names.
Can you decorate hi-vis safety vests without voiding ANSI compliance?
Yes — but only with heat-transfer decoration. Screen printing, embroidery, and patches can damage reflective tape or degrade fluorescent panels. Every hi-vis vest order includes a compliance check in the creative proof stage.
What's the largest chest and back size I can print on a work coat?
Embroidery up to 4"x4" or 8,000 stitches on the chest, chain-stitch back graphics up to 12"x14", and screen-printed back panels up to 15"x18" depending on the silhouette.
Do you decorate insulated winter jackets?
Yes — Helly Hansen and Patagonia insulated shells support embroidery, water-based transfers, and chenille patches. We test decoration durability on the technical shell before production.
Is there a minimum order for workwear jackets?
1-piece minimum for embroidery and DTG. Wholesale bulk discounts for screen printing begin at 12+ pieces.
How fast can I get workwear jackets ready for a project start?
Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. For tight project starts or seasonal crew onboarding, rush production is available — share your deadline so we can prioritize.
