In today’s business world there are lots of products and services every business needs in order to operate their own business. Many people use some kind of accounting software, lead generation assistance, a cleaning service, someone that delivers office supplies, etc. That list could go on and on.
However, have you ever considered uniforms as a necessity for your company? Some of you may be sitting there thinking “I couldn’t afford it,” “I don’t have a large enough business,” “My industry requires certain stipulation on my employee’s clothing,” and more and more reasons why you wouldn’t or couldn’t use a uniform company.
Having uniforms doesn’t have to break the bank and odds are we carry whatever clothing is required in your industry. For those “naysayers” who think a uniform program isn’t for them. Consider this…
Fact is that uniforms are affordable! Whether you are looking to rent clothing and have us process and clean it each week, or would rather purchase custom apparel for your employees, we have a program to fit your budget.
Fact is that uniforms are mutually beneficial to the company and the employee! The company gains community exposure, promotes safety, and provides an added benefit to being an employee at your company. The employee gets standardized clothing to wear to work, they save time not having to pick out clothes each morning, and they save money not having to go shopping for work clothes.
Fact is that uniforms are free advertising! Imagine having a billboard advertisement all over town. One at the grocery store, one at the gas station, and one anywhere else imaginable. That is what you get when your employees are outfitted in a proper uniform program. You company name and logo are seen everywhere they travel throughout the day. Think about all that extra exposure your business will receive by just having your employees in a top quality uniform program.
Fact is that uniforms and custom apparel are beneficial for both large and small businesses! Whether you are a Fortune 500 company or a small 2 man shop the right uniform program and custom apparel can help show the world that you are organized and care about your image. A unified look shows your customers that you are proud of your company.
Fact is we carry a range of uniforms for a variety of industries! No matter what type of uniform you need, we’ve got you covered! We carry enhanced and hi-visibility for construction and road crews. Flame resistant garments to provide safer working conditions against electrical ARC flash burns. Your shop mechanics can proudly display your dealership brand, or your chefs will look professional in front of your guest with our available chef apparel.
No matter what kind of business you are, there is a uniform program out there to fit your needs, style, and budget!

Many companies have team members working in situations that could easily lead to a fast disaster should they not be armed with the correct protective garments. Flame resistant (FR) garments provide a shield against clothing ignition and sustained flame spread. The characteristic of the fabric is to resist ignition and self extinguish if ignited. Here are some common causes of ignition of work apparel where team members would need to be protected with Flame Resistant Garments:
- Flammable liquids and gases
- Combustible dusts
- Slag from flame cutting
- Electric arc events
- High energy electrical discharges
- Flammable soils
- Molten metals
- Open flames
- Welding
- Sparks
Check out this video created by Bulwark Protective Apparel to show the difference in ignition on a flame resistant garment versus and non flame resistant garment.
After watching the video above it is easy to see the importance of having the right gear for the job. Employers are responsible by law to identify risks and hazards in the workplace and seek out appropriate protective garments and equipment to ensure the safety of all workers. When an ignition risk is present, flame resistant protection can become a key to addressing problems and carrying out an action plan in life threatening situations.

Things do not pass for what they are, but for what they seem. Most things are judged by their jackets. - Baltasar Gracian
It's often said that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Although an excellent idea, studies have shown that most people calculate a first impression of someone within the first 30 seconds to two minutes of meeting them, if not instantly. Think about it...have you ever "judged a book by its cover" without even thinking about what you're doing?
What do you think people see in the first 30 seconds of viewing your custom uniforms or apparel?
Sloppy or unplanned attire may lead your customers to think:
- Disorganized
- Unprofessional
- Unconcerned
- Lacks importance of details
On the other hand, well put together custom apparel tells a completely different story. This look may lead customers to think:
- Organized
- Professional
- Takes pride in self and company
- Notices importance of details
At SITEX, we are strong believers of the concept, "What You Wear Tells Who You Are." For this reason, we encourage you to explore the extensive line of clothing options we carry to meet a variety of customer needs. From farming work wear to corporate clothing we are here to help you and your employees find the appropriate employee uniforms or custom apparel to project a professional, business-like image while experiencing the comfort and advantages of more casual and relaxed clothing.

Many spouses or significant others love to hear the following phrase, "I don't have any laundry that needs to be done." This is a goal of a uniform rental company...to provide crisp, image-making uniforms to our customers.
We relieve the everyday stress of laundry, and we make sure your work uniforms are ready for the hard day ahead. Did you know that a family of four spends an average of 12 hours a week doing laundry? That's a lot of time especially if you work at least 8 hours a day plus all your children's activities. Your work uniforms should be the last thing on your mind! This doesn't even take in to account the money saved by not using your washer and dryer, detergent, and water.
If this hasn't convinced you already, here are some more reasons why you should use a uniform rental company:
- We provide proper uniform care to extend the life of your garments.
- We do regular fit sessions (for those of you that need bigger uniforms for the holidays...OR the ones that actually stick to your New Years resolution!)
- We use specific wash formulas for all the different types of jobs out there..whether its automotive or executive management.
So if I have piqued your interest even a little bit..check us out at www.sitex-corp.com!

Once you have chosen your employee uniforms, how do you properly care for them and keep their cleaning efficient and organized?
SITEX has implemented a new sorting and tracking system, SITRAX to just this.
What is SITRAX: An automated sorting and tracking system using bar code and radio frequency technology. Bar code labels and radio frequency chips are placed in garments, mats, and other items and then tracked throughout the preparation and laundry process.
Our SITRAX automated tracking and sorting system ensures that your uniforms, linens, and mats are accurately identified, sorted, and tracked throughout our facility, eliminating shortages and misplaced items.
SITRAX can accurately account for items by: tracking inventory, tracking where an item is in our facility, tracking how often the item is turned in, tracking the life of an item, and tracking the number of repairs and replacements of items. All of this leads to better accountability, complete accuracy, better customer satisfaction, and lower costs for our valued customers.
