Quick answer
If you are kitting out a construction team, a standard branded uniform pack should include:
| Layer | Garment |
|---|---|
| Base | Hi vis T shirt |
| Mid | Hoodie or sweatshirt |
| Outer | Hi vis jacket or bodywarmer |
| Lower | Trousers or joggers |
| Additional | Hi vis vest for visitors or supervisors |
Most construction sites now order branded uniform packs, not individual items, to ensure consistency across teams and present a professional image.
Are uniform packs branded
Yes. In most cases, uniform packs are ordered with branding included.
A standard setup includes:
| Branding area | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Left chest | Company logo |
| Rear print | Larger branding or company name |
| Consistency | Same logo across all garments |
Unbranded packs are usually only used for urgent or temporary requirements.
What a site ready uniform pack looks like
There are two levels most buyers choose between:
| Pack type | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Minimum | T shirt and vest |
| Site ready | T shirt, mid layer, jacket, trousers |
The second option is the most common for construction teams, especially when branding is applied across all garments.
Role based uniform breakdown
Uniform packs should be built around roles, not just garments.
Operatives
| Item |
|---|
| Hi vis T shirt |
| Mid layer |
| Jacket or bodywarmer |
| Trousers |
| Branded across all items |
Supervisors
| Item |
|---|
| Executive vest |
| Jacket |
| Branded garments |
Visitors
| Item |
|---|
| Hi vis vest |
This ensures the full site is covered while keeping branding consistent.
Branding options for uniform packs
There are two main methods used in construction:
| Method | Use case |
|---|---|
| Faster, cost effective, ideal for bulk | |
| Embroidery | More durable, premium finish |
Most sites use:
- Print for operatives
- Embroidery for supervisors
Cost per worker including branding
Branding should always be included in your cost calculation.
Example:
| Item | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| T shirt | £10 |
| Hoodie | £18 |
| Jacket | £35 |
| Trousers | £25 |
| Branding (avg) | £3 to £5 per garment |
| Total | £100 to £115 per worker |
This gives a more realistic view of total spend.
Why branded uniform packs outperform unbranded
Without branding:
- Teams look inconsistent
- Harder to identify workers
- Less professional appearance
With branding:
- Clear company identity
- Professional site presence
- Easier team recognition
- Better long term consistency
This is why most construction companies move to fully branded packs.
When to use packs vs build your own
| Approach | When to use |
|---|---|
| Branded uniform packs | Full team rollout |
| Bundles | Cost saving on core items |
| Custom build | Specific requirements |
Most companies start with packs and adjust over time.
