An employee uniform program is one of the most important parts of company branding. At JDA Promo, we specialize in creating custom uniform programs that cater to your company’s unique needs and requirements.
Whether you’re interested in starting a new uniform program or changing uniform providers, we’re here to help. Our team will walk you through the four-step process to create the best possible uniform program for your company.
- Set a budget and uniform requirements.
- Select product.
- Determine the best distribution method.
- JDA implements the program and delivers uniforms for your team.
Step 1: Set a budget and uniform requirements.
The first and most important step in starting your employee uniform program is identifying your budget and uniform requirements. Examples might include brand colors, ANSI or FR ratings, specific fabrics or brands, or snaps in lieu of buttons for people who work in food service. To get started, answer the questions below to better understand what your company’s uniform needs are.
- Will there be multiple types of uniforms?
- How many uniforms is each person receiving?
- Are there any safety requirements?
- Will the company or the employee be paying for the uniform?
Step 2: Review product options and finalize your uniform selections.
Once we have a good idea of what we need to reach your goals, we will meet with you to look at samples and select product. We can provide everything from pants, t-shirts, jackets, polos, name tags, and more. We carry a wide variety of products to meet the needs of just about any industry.
Step 3: Choose your distribution method.
There are a few ways to distribute your uniforms, and factors include the number of employees, locations, as well as your overall program goals.
Questions to consider:
- How often will you produce uniforms for your employees?
- Is this a one-time order or will you need new uniforms on an ongoing basis?
- Will uniforms be shipped to a central location or multiple locations?
- Will uniforms be a part of your onboarding program?
One-Time Order
With a one-time bulk order, we produce and ship all the uniforms at once. This is a great option if you are merging companies, updating your logo, or updating uniforms and looking for consistency with new brand standards.

Online Stores
Online stores work well if you have 200+ employees and want to place smaller orders on demand throughout the year. An online store enables individuals, supervisors, or managers to place their own orders as needed. You can even provide gift certificate codes to celebrate work anniversaries. Additionally, you can expand your online store to include rewards programs, other promotional products, and tradeshow displays. Check out our solution page to see if company stores are right for you.

Pop-Up Stores & Seasonal Collections
Looking for a short-term alternative to an online store or Google order form? We now offer Pop-Up Stores, which function like a mini web store. Pop-up stores collect individual orders during a set window of time, then place the order and produce and ship everything at once. Once all orders are collected, we can bulk ship or ship to individual locations.

When does it make sense to use a Pop-Up Store?
- You want to gift the team with new seasonal apparel, like a special edition summer t-shirt or a nice jacket for cooler months.
- You need an easy way to collect apparel sizes and orders for an upcoming retreat or other employee event.
- You want to offer a piece of branded apparel as a holiday gift.
- You’d like to launch a new product or campaign and offer custom apparel to the team to promote it.
- You plan to collect orders for no more than 60 days.
New Employee Uniform Kit
We specialize in custom promotional kits for new employees, and those kits can include uniforms if needed. You might consider adding a t-shirt to an onboarding kit or providing a full set of uniform apparel as part of the onboarding process.

Step 4: JDA implements your new employee uniform program.
Once you’ve laid the groundwork for your new uniform program, what happens next? Our team will set up the program for you, and begin collecting and shipping orders based on the distribution method you’ve selected. If you’re using a Pop-Up Shop or an Online Company Store, we will build the site and provide a link you can share once it’s ready to use.
