Keeping Employees Warm in Branded Workwear During Winter (Without Sacrificing Your Brand)

When the temperature drops, productivity and morale can drop with it—especially for teams working outdoors, in warehouses, on sites, or moving between vehicles and customer locations. The good news: keeping employees warm doesn’t mean compromising on a professional look.

With the right winter workwear (and the right branding method), you can protect your team, keep your brand visible, and make sure everyone looks consistent—whether they’re on scaffolding, on a shop floor, or meeting customers face-to-face.

Why warm workwear matters (beyond comfort)

Warmth isn’t just a “nice to have” in winter. The right kit supports:

• Safety and focus: Cold hands and stiff layers make tasks harder and increase mistakes.

• Professional appearance: Customers notice when a team looks organised and uniform.

• Staff morale: Good-quality winter gear signals you value your people.

• Brand visibility: Winter is often when logos get hidden under coats—unless you plan for it.

Start with the right winter layers

A strong winter uniform is usually a simple layering system:

1. Base layer: Breathable tops that keep warmth in and sweat moving out.

2. Mid layer: Fleeces, sweatshirts, or hoodies for insulation.

3. Outer layer: Jackets, softshells, or waterproofs to block wind and rain.

4. Accessories: Beanies, caps, and gloves make a bigger difference than most people expect.

At Print and Promotion, we supply and brand a wide range of winter-ready items—hoodies, jackets, hi-vis, fleeces, beanie hats, caps, and more—so you can build a consistent uniform that actually works in real conditions.

Choose branding that lasts through winter wear-and-tear

Winter workwear gets treated differently: more washing, more friction from layers, more exposure to rain and grit. That’s why the branding method matters.

Embroidery: ideal for warmth, durability, and a premium look

Embroidery is a go-to for winter garments like fleeces, softshell jackets, hoodies, and beanies.

• Hard-wearing and long-lasting

• Looks premium (great for customer-facing teams)

• Works brilliantly on thicker fabrics

Print and Promotion offers standard and 3D embroidery, using modern machinery to keep stitch quality consistent across your whole team.

DTF printing: great for bold logos and detailed designs

If your logo has gradients, fine detail, or you want a larger back print, DTF printing is a strong option.

• Crisp detail and vibrant colour

• Ideal for larger branding areas

• Works across many garment types

We use the latest DTF technology to deliver clean, consistent results—so your branding stays sharp even when winter layers come out.

Don’t let jackets hide your brand

One of the most common winter uniform problems: the logo is on the polo or t-shirt… but everyone’s wearing a coat.

A simple fix is to brand the outer layer too:

• Left chest logo on jackets and fleeces

• Large back logo for visibility on sites and in car parks

• Branded beanies for teams who spend long hours outdoors

This keeps your business visible all winter—without relying on a single garment.

Consider hi-vis and PPE requirements early

If you work in environments with safety requirements (construction, rail, logistics, roadside work), warmth has to work alongside compliance.

• Choose hi-vis winter jackets and hi-vis hoodies that meet the standards you need.

• Make sure branding placement doesn’t interfere with reflective tape or compliance areas.

Print and Promotion supplies branded PPE and hi-vis options, helping you keep teams warm while staying professional and compliant.

Make ordering easy (even if you’re topping up mid-winter)

Winter can be unpredictable—sudden cold snaps, new starters, or a team member needing a replacement jacket.

That’s why it helps to work with a supplier that can support:

• No minimum order quantities (ideal for small top-ups)

• Fast, reliable turnaround

• Consistent branding across repeat orders

Print and Promotion offers no minimums and a 7 working day turnaround on orders, making it easier to keep your team equipped without over-ordering.

Quick checklist: winter workwear that works

Before you place your next order, run through this:

• Do we have a proper layering system (base, mid, outer)?

• Are we branding the outer layers so the logo stays visible?

• Are we using embroidery/DTF based on the garment and how it’s worn?

• Do we need hi-vis or PPE compliance?

• Do we need the flexibility to top up in small quantities?
