Millions of employees worldwide are required to wear uniforms on the job – from hospitality to manufacturing jobs, uniforms help companies ensure their employees are consistently representing their brand and also meeting safety standards and other criteria.
But let’s be honest: uniforms usually get the short end of the fashion stick. Boxy cuts, boring colors, scratchy fabric, one-size-fits-none. Sound familiar?
Uniforms are a huge business ($26B and growing!), but most suppliers are also huge, so employers are forced to choose from an existing catalog, or pay big budgets for a set of custom styles in a large batch run.
But there’s a new way to style your team without sacrificing budget, comfort, and durability. At Balodana, we specialize in custom, small batch uniform manufacturing that actually fits your team and brand.
Here’s how buyers can ditch catalog uniforms for something better:
- Better Fit = Better Performance: When employees feel comfortable, they’re more confident and productive. Particularly for women, who have very diverse body shapes, prioritizing body fit is key to success. At Balodana, we use AI body measurement tools that eliminate the guesswork (and the measuring tape).
- On-Demand, Not Overproduced: Say no to overflowing inventory. We produce the amount of product you need and when you need it, ensuring more space but less waste and cost. You are able to match your production to your hiring plans and fabric choices, but keep in mind to only produce once you have gathered the sizes needed.
- Quality that Stands Up to Real Life: Our garments are made to last, not to shrink, rip, or fade after one wash. We have access to a vast resource of fabric options, and we’ll work with you to wear-test and evolve your designs based on the living proof in your workforce.
- Personalization Without the Headache: Whether you need embroidery, color matching, digital printing, or custom silhouettes, we make it easy. You don’t need to be a fashion expert—just tell us what you want, and we’ll translate it into something awesome.
Need to impress both HR and Finance? We’ve got you and can help you fit your budget.
Here’s how it works:
Tell Us What You Need
We’ll have a quick chat to understand your team’s uniform needs. Do you want a fresh look? Better fit? Matching styles for men and women? We’ve got you.
Choose or Co-Design Your Uniforms
You can begin by customizing one of our existing styles, or we’ll help you design something from scratch. No fashion experience is needed during the process. Oftentimes, most companies do not have a uniform design team and duties will fall in the hands of human resources or office administration. Our goal is to empower anyone to make good decisions and receive a great outcome in today’s fashion industry.
Fabric Sourcing
Uniforms have to stand up to the most rigorous use and frequent laundering. Finding fabrics that have high durability and still feel great to employees is a big challenge. Expect that we’ll not only help you select the right materials, but also help you wear-test them upfront.
Sizing Made Simple
We use AI-powered tools and digital measurement to get accurate sizing for your whole team—no tape measures required. We’ll even help you collect everyone’s sizes with just a smartphone. Gathering this data will allow us to build your own unique sizing charts and production standards that accurately reflect your employees’ bodies better.
We Handle the Manufacturing
Your uniforms are made in small batches by professional garment makers. We manage the whole process—fabric, fit, finishes—so you don’t have to. As you hire new people, you order only what you need. Batches can be shipped in as fast as 2 weeks and avoid shipping delays.
Ship and Repeat
Your team gets uniforms that fit, feel great, and last. Reordering is easy with your digital profile already saved.
