The cheapest uniform quote on your desk is probably not the cheapest uniform program.
One provider quotes you $18 a shirt. Another quotes $22. Easy call, right?
Then the first invoice arrives.
There's a setup fee.
A monthly account maintenance charge whether you ordered anything or not.
A markup on alterations.
A rush fee because the first delivery ran late.
By the end of year one, the $18 shirt has quietly become the more expensive option.
Per-garment pricing is the number vendors want you comparing.
Total annual cost is the number that actually hits your budget.
Before you sign anything, ask for every fee in writing. Setup, digitization, monthly minimums, rush charges, all of it. A provider who's confident in their pricing won't hesitate to put it on paper.
We built our model around exactly that kind of transparency. No hidden fees, no monthly service charges, no surprises on the invoice. Just the cost of the uniforms your team actually needs.
