Restaurant uniform questions, answered
How much do custom aprons with a logo cost?
A Port Authority A500 full-length apron with an embroidered logo is $19.98 each at 24 pieces, $19.48 at 48, $18.48 at 72 and $17.98 at 96 or more, plus $18.99 one-time digitizing. Other apron styles are the blank at current cost plus the same embroidery schedule.
What if my logo is more than 6,000 stitches?
Every embroidery price covers up to 6,000 stitches. Above that, each additional 1,000 stitches adds $2.00 per piece at 1-11 pieces, $1.50 at 12-23, $1.00 at 24-59, $0.60 at 60-79 and $0.50 at 80 or more, rounded up to the next 1,000. So a 12,000-stitch logo adds $6.00 per piece at 24 and $3.00 at 80 or more. We digitize first and tell you the exact count with the proof before you approve anything.
Is there a minimum order for restaurant uniforms?
No hard minimum on embroidery, leather patch or screen print. Orders under 12 are priced at the 12-23 tier. Screen print makes the most sense at 48 pieces and up.
How long does an order take?
Standard turnaround is 28 days from proof approval. Quotes usually go out the same business day. Rush is quoted per job.
Do aprons need sizes?
No. The Port Authority aprons we decorate are one size with waist ties; bib styles have an adjustable neck. Hats and beanies are one size too. Tees and polos need a size breakdown.
Embroidery or screen print for restaurant uniforms?
Embroidery for aprons, polos and hats, since it survives bleach and daily washing. Screen print for kitchen tees at 48 pieces and up. DTF for full-color art on small runs.
What do custom restaurant shirts cost?
A Port & Company PC61 tee with a one-color front print is $10.63 each at 48 pieces plus a $20 screen; front and back is $15.22 plus $40. With a left-chest embroidered logo it is $12.04 at 24 and $10.04 at 144.
What is the digitizing fee?
$18.99 one-time per embroidered design, standard 2-day. We keep the file for reorders.
What are screen fees?
$20 per screen per color. A one-color logo is one screen; the same logo front and back is two.
Can we put server names on aprons?
Yes. Names are quoted per job. Send a list with spellings checked.
What artwork do you need?
Vector (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) is best. A 300 dpi PNG works. We send a digital proof before production.
Can you decorate aprons we already own?
Yes. Customer-supplied goods are $2 per item handling plus the decoration rate. Industry-standard spoilage allowance is about 4 percent; we aim for zero.
What if the logo is wrong?
If the error is ours, we redo it free. That is why we proof every job first.
