Questions by industry
Hospitality and food service
Can I order aprons, polos and tees in the same order?
Yes. You can mix styles, sizes and colors in one order, and there is no minimum on any item. Each design gets its own free digital proof before production.
Should restaurant uniforms be embroidered or printed?
Embroidery suits polos, caps and aprons because it holds up to frequent washing. DTG printing suits full-color designs on cotton tees for kitchen and bar staff.
How soon can a new location have uniforms?
Production takes about 2 business days after you approve your proof, and US shipping takes 3 to 5 business days, so most US orders arrive 5 to 7 business days after approval. Rush production is available on request.
Do you sell chef coats?
No. For kitchen teams Arklavo offers aprons, polos and tees decorated with your logo.
Offices and corporate teams
Which polos suit client-facing staff?
adidas and Under Armour performance polos with an embroidered left-chest logo suit client-facing staff.
Can you ship to staff outside the United States?
Yes. Arklavo ships worldwide from the US. Delivery takes 3 to 7 business days from dispatch to the UK and EU and 7 to 14 business days to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world. Orders over $150 USD, or the local equivalent, ship free.
Is there a discount for larger teams?
Yes. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout: 5% at 10 to 23 pieces, 10% at 24 to 49, 15% at 50 to 99 and 20% at 100 or more.
Can I add one polo later for a new hire?
Yes. There is no minimum, so you can order a single piece that matches your earlier order.
Trades and field work
Do you sell hi-vis or safety-rated workwear?
No. Arklavo supplies branded work shirts, polos, fleece, jackets and caps. Hi-vis, reflective and safety-rated garments need to come from a specialist safety supplier.
Which decoration lasts longest on workwear?
Embroidery. The logo is stitched into the fabric, so it holds up to hard wear and frequent washing better than a print.
Can each crew or location have its own logo?
Yes. Every item is decorated to order, so you can submit a different design for each crew and approve a separate proof for each.
Retail and personal care
Can aprons carry our logo?
Yes. Aprons can be embroidered or printed, and they can be ordered alongside tees and polos.
How do we keep colors consistent across staff?
Order the same garment style and color for everyone, and approve one proof. The proof shows the logo size, placement and colors that will be used on every piece.
Fitness, wellness and sport
What decoration works on performance fabric?
Embroidery and heat press work well on polyester performance fabric. DTG printing is used on cotton and cotton-rich tees.
Can members order individual sizes?
Yes. Any mix of sizes can go in one order, including a single piece.
Schools, nonprofits and community
Do you have youth and toddler sizes?
Yes. Youth and toddler tees are available, including Rabbit Skins styles, and can be ordered with adult sizes in the same order.
Can we order the exact number of shirts we need?
Yes. There is no minimum and no pack size, so you can order the exact count for your volunteers or event.
What file do you need for our logo or artwork?
A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) is best. High-resolution PNG and JPG files also work. Logo cleanup is free, and you approve a digital proof before anything is made.
Do not see your industry?
Any team that wears a logo can order. Start with a product, add your design and approve a free proof, or ask for a quote and we reply within 1 business hour, Monday to Friday.
