Ordering custom workwear in Canberra: a practical guide

Ordering uniforms for a team in Canberra is mostly about getting three things right: the garments, the sizes and the artwork. This guide walks through each step the way we handle it at Workwear Mart.

1. Pick garments that suit Canberra conditions

Canberra's cold winters and hot summers call for a layered kit: polos and hi-vis, plus puffer vests, fleece and jackets. Start with the pieces your team wears every day (usually polos or tees), then add layers and hi-vis where the job needs them. If a product must meet a hi-vis standard on your site, check the product page: standards are listed only where the manufacturer confirms them.

2. Get the sizes right before you print

Decorated garments cannot be swapped, so measure first. Every product in our catalogue carries the manufacturer's size chart in centimetres. The quickest method is to lay a garment that already fits well on a flat surface and measure the half chest (armpit to armpit) and the length from the shoulder point to the hem, then match those numbers to the chart. Our short video on each product page shows the two measurements.

For a team, collect a size per person and enter the quantities per size in Quick view. You can mix sizes and colours freely within one product.

3. Send artwork we can work with

A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) gives the cleanest print or embroidery. A high-resolution PNG on a transparent background is the next best option. Tell us where each file goes: front chest, back, sleeve or somewhere else. If you only have a low-resolution logo, send it anyway and we will tell you what is possible.

4. Approve the proof, then relax

After you submit your quote we send pricing and a measured artwork proof within 1 to 3 business days. It shows the logo size and position on the actual garment. Nothing is printed or embroidered until you approve it, so ask for changes as many times as you need.

5. Delivery to Canberra

Orders are delivered Australia-wide, including Braddon, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong and the rest of Canberra. Tell us your delivery deadline in the quote form and we will confirm whether it is achievable before you commit.
