About the factory

Uniform Factory Making Custom Workwear and Staff Uniforms Since 2008

Staff uniform programs for companies that dress a whole workforce, and private-label production for uniform brands and distributors. From paper pattern to packed carton, every stage runs in one factory under a named person who signs it off.

01Profile

Uniform Factory Profile: 650+ Staff, 18,000 m², 300,000 Garments a Month

Founded as a cut-and-sew workwear factory, then built out one capability at a time, so a uniform order now stays in one building from the pattern table to the shipping carton.

Where we sit in the supply chain

Mills supply fabric and reflective tape, with their test report where a garment has to meet a named standard. From there the work is ours: pattern, cutting, sewing, logos and names, labels, inspection and packing.

Who runs it

Pattern makers, cutters, machinists, decorators, lab and QC staff and packers, with one account manager per program as your single contact.

What we make and ship

Workwear, hi-vis and FR garments, scrubs, hospitality and corporate uniforms. 97% of orders ship on the date confirmed at sample approval.

02Customer base

60% Staff Uniform Programs, 40% Private Label for Brands

Two kinds of buyer, each with its own production setup on the same floor.

Packer placing a folded shirt into a bag labelled with an employee name, size and site

Staff uniform programs

Ordered directly by the corporate, healthcare, hospitality and industrial employers who wear them. They run through the pack-by-person line, where each garment is packed for the employee who will wear it.

Private label for brands and distributors

Made to order under the brand's own woven neck labels, care labels and patches, so the garment reaches the brand's customer carrying only the brand's name.

04Colour lab

2018 Colour Lab: D65 Daylight, 10° Observer, ΔE2000 Before Cutting

The lab sits between the fabric store and the cutting tables. Every batch of re-order fabric rolls passes through it before it can be released to cutting.

The lab-dip library

Every approved colour keeps a retained lab dip, with each delivery's dye lot recorded against it. On a re-order the technician pulls the lab dip the last delivery was matched to, so new fabric is read against the shade your staff already wear.

One light source, one formula and one physical reference for every re-order of a colour, for as long as the program runs.
Tolerance and the reading that ships with each re-order

05Operating rule

Colour Wins When the Ship Date and the Colour Conflict

  • 01Fabric that reads out of tolerance is never released to cutting to save a date.
  • 02The cutting room cuts only fabric the colour lab has released.
  • 03A held batch is re-dyed or replaced, and cutting starts only when the new fabric reads within tolerance.

What you hear, and when

If re-dyeing moves the ship date, your account manager tells you before cutting starts, with the new date and the reason, while the order is still fabric on a roll.

Why it runs this way

A program runs for years and new garments are worn next to old ones. The decision is made in advance, so nobody on the floor weighs a date against a colour under pressure.

The Boundary Sits at the Fabric Roll: Four Stages Inside One Factory

Mills supply fabric and reflective tape. Every step after that runs inside our factory, with a named owner and a defined hand-over to the next step.

Freight & testing

Sea, air or express to the addresses you give us. Third-party garment testing arranged per order when a site or contract asks for it.

One factory answers for everything after the fabric roll.

08Core processes

Five Core Processes Run on In-House Equipment

Built and run by our own staff on our own machines. Each process does one specific job in a program, and each one is the reason a stage does not have to leave the building.

  • Embroidery head stitching an employee name onto a work shirt chest

    Employee names and IDs are stitched inside the bulk run, so a named program comes off one production order.

  • Operator heat-applying segmented reflective tape to a hi-vis jacket on a press

    Segmented tape is heat-applied on our presses to the same build spec the hi-vis garment is sewn to.

  • Spectrophotometer aperture on fabric beside a readout screen in the colour lab

    Re-order fabric is read under fixed conditions against a retained lab dip before any of it is cut.

  • Pattern maker adjusting a graded pattern on a CAD screen next to paper patterns

    One pattern set per style, graded across every cut and size the program needs, with markers made in CAD.

  • Name, size and site label being applied to an individual employee pack

    One staff list drives both the name embroidery and the per-employee packing, so the two can never disagree.

Nothing reaches the cutting tables without two releases: the colour lab's and the pattern room lead's.

09Pattern room

Pattern Room Sign-Off: One Graded Set and One Current File per Style

The pattern room is where a program's fit is fixed, and the first stage with a signature.

Pattern room lead

Who signs, and against what

The pattern room lead signs pattern and grading against your approved sample before any fabric is cut. Nothing goes to the cutting tables without that signature.

  1. Sample changedYou revise the approved sample
  2. File re-signedPattern revised, signed again, production clock restarts
  3. Old file retiredOne current version per style for every later re-order

A shirt re-ordered two years into a program is cut from the file signed for the first order, so new hires get the fit your launch staff were measured in.

10Factory floor

14Quality governance

QC Manager Sets the Standard; Deviations Escalate Within the Shift

One owner for the standard, one reference for every check, and a fixed route for problems.

  1. 01The line stopsA line that finds a deviation stops before it makes more
  2. 02QC manager, same shiftThe stop escalates to the QC manager within the same shift
  3. 03Pieces and restart decidedThe QC manager decides what happens to the affected pieces and when the line restarts
  4. 04You hear within 24 hoursIf the spec or ship date is affected, your account manager calls or emails

Who sets the standard

The QC manager sets each program's inspection standard at sample approval. From that day the approved sample is the reference for every later check, and you receive a signed final inspection report with each order.

16Program records

Six Program Records, Each With a Named Holder

Every active program keeps its records inside the factory. Each one has a named holder, and each one is the reference for a specific check.

17Re-orders

Re-Orders Built From the Same Files in Five Steps

On a re-order you send a PO. The factory rebuilds the order from the records it already holds.

  1. 1Account managerConfirms style, colour and quantities against the same staff list.
  2. 2Colour labReads new fabric against the lab dip matched to the last delivery.
  3. 3Pattern roomIssues the same marker file for cutting.
  4. 4Decoration floorWorks from the same build spec sheet.
  5. 5QC managerReleases the order against the same approved sample.

Nothing is re-specified from scratch, so a re-order two years into a program is built exactly like the first delivery.

18After delivery

After-Delivery Issues: Three Roles and One Reference Sample

A reported problem is investigated by the roles that released the order, against the same sample, so the answer rests on records rather than memory.

  • Account manager

    Receives your report with photos or pieces and stays your contact until it is closed.

  • QC manager

    Reads the carton label back to its dye lot, cutting run and sewing line, checks the pieces and writes the root-cause report.

  • Pattern room & colour lab

    Set up any remake from the same marker file and a lab-released fabric batch.

The approved sample that released the order is the reference for judging the reported pieces.
