1. Three core principles for customizing uniforms for small businesses
A[Cost Control] --> B[Minimum Order of 50-300 Sets] --> C[Efficiency Priority] --> D[Delivery within 15 Days] --> E[Practical and Durable] --> F[1 Year Free Repair]
2. Four steps to achieve cost-effective customization
Step 1:Accurately locate needs (avoid waste)
Dimensions | Key Questions | Small Business Referral Program |
---|---|---|
Usage scenarios | Office/workshop/outdoors? | Choose wear-resistant polyester-cotton for workshops and blended fabrics for offices |
Functional requirements | Anti-oil/anti-static/breathable? | Oil-splatter-proof fabrics for restaurants |
Budget range | ≤100 yuan/set or 100-200 yuan/set? | Basic model 80-120 yuan, best quality |
Degree of customization | Only LOGO or full design? | Embroidering the logo on the neckline/left chest is the most economical |
📌 Case:

Scenario: Jam easily sticks to the worktop
Solution: Navy anti-fouling POLO shirt + embroidered LOGO on the left chest
Cost: ¥69/piece (free of charge for ordering 200 pieces)

**Step 3:5 Tips for Smart Cost Control
-
Color matching instead of printing:
-
Use corporate color trim on the collar/cuffs (save ¥8/piece compared to full body print)
-
-
Select stock fabrics:
-
Refuse to use “imported special fabrics” and use the main fabrics in the factory inventory (shorten the construction period by 7 days)
-
-
Concentrated size:
-
Order M/L/XL according to the ratio of men and women (reduce the surcharge for special sizes such as XXS)
-
-
Quarterly staggered order placement:
-
Enjoy 5% discount on orders placed during the off-season of March/August
-
-
Precision preparation:
-
Formula: Number of orders = Number of employees × 1.2 + 5 (spare parts)
-
**Step 4:Acceptance avoidance checklist
+ Must check items: - Thread ends: No thread ends exceeding 1cm at the lining seams - Color difference: Spread out the same batch of clothes and compare the blocks without color difference - LOGO:Scrape it 10 times with your fingernail without warping the edge (embroidery is stronger than hot stamping) - Breathability: Blow the back of the fabric with your mouth and feel the air permeability with your palm ! Key Points: Take an unboxing video when receiving the goods, and refuse to sign on the spot if there are any problems!
**3. Solutions to high-frequency problems faced by small businesses
Question 1: What should I do if my employees have different body shapes?
-
plan:
-
Choose elastic fabric (polyester cotton containing 5% spandex)
-
Provide a “universal fit” (e.g. a straight-cut work jacket is very inclusive)
-
For every 10 people, order 1 XXL piece as spare
-
Question 2: Are you afraid of failure due to complicated LOGO design?
-
Haiyuan free services:
→ Send the original LOGO file via WeChat
→ 3 simplified design plans (suitable for embroidery/printing)
→ Make 1 sample first to confirm the effect
Question 3: Urgent need for temporary replenishment?
-

Calling basic inventory (sent by SF Express in 3 days)
-
LOGO added later: sent back to the factory for processing after receiving the goods (suitable for small additions within 5 pieces)
-
